That's why I want to pay mine off first. It's on a bank loan, once it's mine I can always put the extra miles on it, and still return a PCP bike within the agreed mileage limits. Most manufacturers have a bit of leeway built into those limits (as well as initial deposit amount, monthly payments, length of contract etc, hence personal contract). You choose these things to suit your own requirements. It seems you can at least put 6000 miles a year on the bike, BMW do up to 20,000 miles in some agreements. But you can't hand the bike back with any mods on it, and it has to be dealer serviced at the correct intervals, condition of trade in bike has to be up to a certain standard too. (This makes me wonder what happens if you stack it - presumably they'd insist on fully comp?).
But if I've got my own Fazer to mod as I choose, I still think it would be a good way of trying different bikes. And if you want to get out of it, you just hand the bike back to the dealer when a contract on a particular bike expires, and walk away.
