Which Bike

0% finance on Kawasakis at the mo, no deposit either.....I think???

May be something to think about.


I'm saving up for an Aprillia RSV Mille meself.

It's 0% on the hornet as well. Deposit is £99 ER-6 and £10% on hornet

[dave_s13]

Good stuff.

I nearly wet myself when I got a Kawasaki leaflet through the door and saw the 0% deal on the ZX10R.....then my missis slapped me in the chops and gave me a look

lol, just get it and say you won it in a competition.......it only cost £x per month to enter

[lawrence567]

So how do these finance deals work as i fancy a new bike...

[fish]

Go to dealer negotiate a price... and pay 0% interest over two to 2.5 years. An if the dealer is switched on include all your nice bits of clothing etc as part of the 0% price ie less overall discount.

[lawrence567]

Yeh but dont you get absolutely stiffed on the interest after the 2.5 years?

Make sure it's paid off then

[lawrence567]

Would be interesting to work out what the monthly payments would be like to pay it off.
Cant imagine its cheap!

[dave_s13]

The Kawasaki deal is 0% over three years with zero deposit.

So a ZX10R will be

£8950 / 36
= £248.61/month

Or ZX6R

£6995 / 36
= £194.30

Trouble is if you're anyting like me you'll be wanting to change it after a year. But then I supose as long as the depreciation matches the monthly payments you can clear the finance. I dunno if that would be the case though??

Also I doubt very much you would get any kind of discount or goodies thrown in at that rate. Might be wrong though.

Either way, I'm going to save up for a bit and hopefully bag an Aprillia RSV1000 mille for somewhere around the 3k mark.

Do BMW bikers have the same rep as BMW car drivers!!

I dont think I've ever heard the "smells of wee" pointed at the car types...

Sorry didn't get that.... it is friday!

Lisa happier with the choice as it isn't as sporty. Will talk to my dad who rides on Sunday.

Not implying that a BMW is the choice of older riders, at all, oh no

Frik, to be fair, it was said just after you'd wet yourself...

[lawrence567]

When i was being taught my instructor said it's certain people who drive BMW bikes.
By that i'm fairly sure he meant middle aged tossers!
Although im not saying your one!

[Mrs Fish]

I've now woken up and have got it....

Only the 1200GS riders with will Touratech pannier, tank panniers, crash bars, spot lights etc who only use them to commute 10 miles up the A3. Yoill be fine on the 650.

Bear in mind that the old F650 was a 650cc single while the new one is an 800cc parallel twin so they are pretty different.
