Motorcycle Dealer Financing

[hal]

Anyone have thoughts on motorcycle dealer financing? Looking for some input, or should I look at using a private bank?

Depends how much you are borrowing. I would never use motorcycle dealer financing for a large loan, but if it were a small investment it may be fine. With a private bank loan you'll almost always get a better rate on financing a motorcycle or anything else. I believe the dealerships actually make money on the financing.

Go with private bank and get pre-approved for a motorcycle loan whenever possible. It's easier when you get to the dealership. And it takes all the salesmanship out of the financing part of buying a bike.
