Paying a bike loan over 4years.... :eek  No thanks
Longest time I would get a loan for a car or bike or any other luxury item over is 2years...
 
If I can't afford it over 2 years then I would save up enough Deposit till I can

Who cares how long it is as long as it's interest free...

I think if I was going to spend 7 grand on a bike I would go for some thing more exciting - lots to pick from for that money!

It's not all about speed red  ;)

Yeah... it's about having that right make of leathers, looking good and having the right make.  Bikers are subject to fashion, fad and marketing, like everyone else.

I'm too much of an ass to be led by fashion or marketing tho.  I'm tempted by the street triple by the reviews tbh.

I thought the Street triple was better than the Fazer in practically every way (according to the reviews) apart from revs/top speed ?


It's newer, lighter and has the benefit of 10 odd years of development ?


I'd love some clarification as I know nowt about this topic and am working on guesswork.
