I have to test out a lot more bikes, but I am thinking about putting a deposit down on a 2009 Ninja 250r as my first ever bike.

How much have you put down and what were your payments like? I’m also wondering if anyone is thinking about reserving a 2009 Ninja 250 because the 08s sold out so quickly and completely.

I’m only paying a little over a hundred bucks a month. Everything out the door was about $4300 in total. I use to be the spend cash for everything guy. Only thing is, you can’t build any credit that way. = * )

I would suggest buying used and paying cash. I know it isn’t what you asked, so I will rephrase my answer. I would put as much down as possible and carry the lowest possible monthly payment.

but who needs credit if you spend cash on Everything? Candy bar – cash; Car -cash; House – cash. No credit necessary

Put as much down as you can, and get as low a payment as you can. But then pay it off as soon as you can. It gives you the flexibility to pay less when an emergency comes up, but also gets the loan paid off sooner (with less total paid).

I put about 2000 down on a total price of about 8000… payments werent bad about 150 a month… but they were almost entirely INTEREST.. which i could NOT afford! So I ended up rearranging things and paying it off early. If you MUST finance, I would recommend what a friend told me he did (too bad he didnt tell me beforehand!) … go through your bank or a credit union to get the loan instead of through the dealership.. you’ll get a LOT better interest rate and the payments will take less time to pay off the bike!

I borrowed the money from my 401K right before the market crashed. So I pay myself back with 6 percent interest, but it goes to me and I own the bike. Then they automatically deduct however much from my paycheck each pay period and it just goes back into the 401K.

I got about 6% on my bike loan for my used Ninja from my credit union.
