So this is my 23’ R7 with 45k miles. It’s been a great bike, I plan on keeping it but being someone that only has a bike, and prefers that lifestyle, I need and want another bike. With it being my first bike and me being really eager to ride at the time I went with financing. Honestly it’s been fine, got lucky with a low rate but even then I’ve realized that I ride so much that financing will often have me owing more than a bike is worth. I really wanna only buy bikes cash but it just takes so much more time (assuming one even makes enough to save) and then the bikes I’m looking at could be in less abundance, more expensive, ect. But with my credit not being as good as it once once and wanting to be debt free, I need to get bikes cash. So how do you guys really go about acquiring bikes? Is it worth it to you to finance or is cash always the way? Have you ever ridden a bike to really high mileage while saving for a new bike? Any advice is much appreciated, thank you.
