I've still got the sporty...I live in CT so can't ride the bike year round since the winter lasts kind of long and our two vehicles combind have over 380,000 miles on them. I need to sell one of my jet skis to speed up the process. All I can think of is buying my dream Ultra, but it is going to have to wait for a little while I think.

 

Long as you do things right you won't loose money on investing on a house, The minute you drive off the lot with you new Bike you loose money.

 

buy a house at 23 have it paid off by the time you are 43. All my friends that were smart and bought when they were under 25 are the ones who today are in the best shape to get the toys they want.

 

Well I did what your thinking. Bought last year under the first time buyer thing. Getting ready to add it ($8500 credit) to our 2010 income tax return as well as selling our old place. Now im going bike shopping real soon............I hope!

You are right. Now is a great time to purchase a house. There will be plenty of bikes in the future but you might never see home prices so cheap.

 

Great Big Garage, dude your what 23?. You have plenty of time for Harley Wallpaper and new motorcycles.
Housing market is off, Buyers Market jump all over it.

 

You can make do with the 883 for one more year. Get the house.

 

I would have liked to seen a poll on this, don't feel like reading the 16 pages of responses.

I say buy the house, the Sporty is a fine bike and I think you'll get more satisfaction from owning a house now than a motorcycle.

 

buy the house. the right bike will come along when the time is right.

 

Congratulations on the house. Now get a decent used vehicle, then set a budget and a goal for a new Harley.

What the heck? You're 23, you just bought a house, and I'm telling you about a budget? Looks like I should be asking you for financial advice.
