Frequently asked questions about motorcycle loans
Should I get a loan for a motorcycle?
Generally speaking, the answer is the same for any type of vehicle loan. If you can comfortably afford to do so without depleting your savings, you'll save by paying cash instead of financing and paying interest. If that's not the case, a loan can help you afford the new or used motorcycle you want.
How hard is it to finance a motorcycle?
It can be more challenging because online lenders and traditional banks may not offer motorcycle loans. Dealers will usually provide financing but don't always offer the lowest rates. But Affinity is a credit union owned by our members, so we offer affordable motorcycle loans as a service to our members who ride.
How should I compare motorcycle loans?
When comparing the best motorcycle loans, there are three main factors to consider:
- What is the interest rate or APR (Annual Percentage Rate)? The lower the rate, the less you'll pay for interest (and interest-related fees) over the life of the loan.
- What are repayment terms? Basically, how many months will it take to pay back the loan? A longer repayment period will make each monthly payment lower, but you'll spend more over the life of the loan compared to a shorter repayment period.
- How much do you have to put down? Some lenders may require a 20% (or higher) down payment, while others may even offer 110% financing (i.e., giving you $11,000 to buy a $10,000 bike). A lower down payment may be more convenient initially but will result in higher payments each month.
What types of motorcycle loans can I get?
Affinity Federal Credit Union can provide motorcycle financing for:
- Dealer purchases – getting a new or used vehicle from a motorcycle dealership
- Refinancing – to lower your rate or get better terms than your current loan
- Private party – buying a bike from an individual seller
Who can apply for a motorcycle loan?
You must be an Affinity Federal Credit Union member and be 18 years of age or older.
