What is motorbike finance?

Motorbike finance is when you borrow money to cover the cost of your new motorcycle. It allows you to get a bike without having to pay a lump sum up front. Instead you make monthly repayments until the cost of the finance has been paid off.

Buying a motorbike on finance helps you get the new or used motorbike you need without having to pay for it all in one go. Once you make your final repayment, you’ll legally own the motorcycle.
