I will be sending Honda a check 5 months into the loan. The only thing smarter than purchasing in cash is to use their money for 5 months on top of it. Honda did not require full coverage insurance unless the loan was over $10K USD. However, my umbrella liability policy requires 100/300 liability coverage on any of my motorcycles, so I have full coverage on it anyway. My personal policy is that if I cannot afford to purchase a depreciating asset in cash, I cannot afford the depreciating asset. (in reply to bmorrisj) Post #: 62

The CBR was cash, I had just retired on the Friday, picked my bike up on the Wednesday. Wot was really cool though was for a whole 21 days, had $475,263,28 in the bank Then the Tax man cometh, followed by the Morgage man, and then my bloody sensible wife (who saw the lust in my eyes and the stack of bike mags & holiday brochures) _____________________________ To do is to be.~ Descartes -To be is to do.~ Voltaire- To be or not to be.~Shakespeare- Do be do be do.~Sinatra (in reply to D2DGraphix_600RR) Post #: 64
