Default Bike or House

I'm 23 and ride a 2006 883C. I like the bike, but have outgrown it quickly. I've had my eye on a street glide or an electriglide classic for some time now. I also realize that it is a good time to buy a house, probably can't afford to do both.......I want the bike, but I think it would be a better investment to look into becoming a homeowner........

Just thinking outloud

I love my SG but I have to tell you it is a better time to buy a house. Your bike won't appreciate but it is likely that the house will. Besides, why throw money away on rent. You can always wait until the house appreciates and take out an equity loan to buy the bike. Just a thought...

Good luck with the house. You will be even happier as a real homeowner. Make sure it has a garage for that future bike.
