Go to a motorcycle store and ask about financing? Go to your bank or credit union? WHY do you ask, did somebody tell you CASH, CREDIT CARD, OR CHECK ONLY?
My sister got her loan through the motorcycle maker (I think it was Yamaha, I don't remember). Hers is actually a credit card. Good only at yamaha stores. Her motorcycle took about 2/3 of her limit, and she has the rest left to use for accessories, maintenance, etc.
I financed a Suzuki Katana through Suzuki Finance (GE Capital) last month at a rediculous rate of 16.9% because I could not wait until Monday for the credit union to open. One month later, after making my first payment, I refinanced the loan through the credit union and saved 7.4 points in interest (9.5%) and shortened the term of the loan by 1 year. Go to the credit union!! CardKid
