Otherwise I'd pay off any other debts I had first. You lose interest if you pay cash and you pay interest if you finance. I'm just afraid Harley will make it sound as if you're getting ahead or even breaking even with this scheme. For me, I just buy used, undervalued bikes for what little money I have. -todd I’d only pay cash if I can get better interest for my money by investing it.

A vehicle is very, very rarely an investment. Most times it is a liability (cost to run, keep, have insured, plus depreciation) rather than an asset.

Basically you'd be better off if you received better financing rates. -todd Let’s see, according to Kelly’s Blue Book the Harley will depreciate 25 percent in the first year (assuming you only paid MSRP, worse if you paid more) then factor in the 10% financing (interest counts even if you paid cash!) and that’ll put it all into perspective.
