Leasing A Motorcycle

[CrushinFelt]

Thinking about leasing one for three months when the weather is really nice here in Chicago.

Anyone have any experience with this?
What kind of prices would I be looking at for a 3-month lease?

*I'm talking about the sporty motor cycles not harleys and such.

Discuss.

I've never heard of dealers leasing motorcycles. None of the dealers near me do that. How long have you been a rider?

[XXXNoahXXX]

yeah do you have a motorcycle license?

i've never heard of many places doing a 3-month lease...especially for bikes.




(also, people that end their posts with "Discuss." come across as huge douchebags, particularly when they are looking for advice and not really a discussion.)

It's not because the horses are stupid. It's because they can't grip the throttle or steering wheel.

ummm, you might want to look into learning how to ride before thinking about leasing one. the fact that you would think about leasing a bike for 3 months over the summer shows me that you have never ridden. people that think they'll just hop on one and cruise around are the ones who end up dead.

I took a week long safety course to get my license. I would highly recommend something like that.

You can also get a small sporty used bike in good shape for like $2000. Just buy one.

I was under the impression that it doesn't take that long to get a motorcycle liscense, so why is that an issue here?

"people that think they'll just hop on one and cruise around are the ones who end up dead"

lol, wtf

"I took a week long safety course to get my license. I would highly recommend something like that."

Thanks, I'd definitely look into doing something like that.

So the consensus is that bikes typically aren't leased? What immediate reduction in price would I be looking at if I bought one and sold it three months later?

I would think that leasing these things would be a great idea. Afterall, who the [censored] wants to own one in a place where the weather is cold majority of the time? I would think leasing would be the perfect thing to do for anyone living in the northern half of the US.

Also... $2,000? The ones I've looked at online are north of 5k easy.
