How many of you actually "own" your bike?? - Page 7

I own my bikes. I'll own the cars in a few months...

Just paid $$$ for this sucker. I hate payments.

Out of all my bikes, the only one I still owe money on is the BMW. Heck, for a 0.49% APR, I would have been stupid to pay cash for it. The rest I paid cash for.

I've never financed a motorcycle- even when buying new, I pay cash. Of all my cars, I've only ever financed one, and that was when I was just starting out on my own and I paid it off early. I don't own a house anymore, but I had a mortgage on the last one and will probably have one on the next one.

It just doesn't make sense to me to finance a depreciating asset. Besides, bikes are cheap.

Own both my bikes outright....the truck though, still has a few payments left, at least until my next deployment....lol

I have no problem with payments, mostly because I can't seem to save up money long enough to buy anything with cash. However, once I get a payment book I hate it and pay it off as soon as I can. Ive started a small collection of titles in my safe, I have the title for the KZ440, the GSX-R, my truck, my camaro, the KDX dirt bike, and my camper. We just bought a Jeep so we got payments on that but im gettin that "pay it off itch" and have made 2 double payments in a row. Ill probably never see the "title" for my house!

I have the title to my bike (paid cash) and I have the title to my Vette.

I own my Ninja....paid cash for it. That's why I am really not all that concerned that is is most likely totaled right now

I think I got my $1800 out of it over the past 3.5 years and 22k miles

My car will be paid off in November, paid cash for hubby's car.
