What is bad credit motorbike finance?
If you’re concerned that your bad credit score might stop you from being approved for motorbike finance, don’t worry. Bad credit motorbike finance helps people who have a low credit score, bad credit, or no credit history. This means that you can still get the motorbike you need, even with bad credit.
The process of getting motorbike finance for bad credit is the same as if you had good credit. The lender pays the dealership for you, and you repay the finance through monthly payments over an agreed amount of time.
Moneybarn is a specialist lender, but we can also help if you have good or excellent credit. See more on our motorbike finance page.

To increase your chances of getting approved for finance, there are steps you can take such as checking your credit score and ensuring that all your information is up-to-date. If you have very bad credit, it is important to understand what affects your credit score so that you can avoid habits that may make it difficult to get approved for finance.

Does financing a motorcycle build credit?
Financing a motorbike can help to improve your credit score, as long as you make your monthly payments on time and in full. However, it’s important to know that there are several factors that can affect your credit score, and there is no guarantee that it will increase.
When you take out motorbike finance, you may notice a slight dip in your credit score. This is because you are opening a new line of credit, and the lender will make a hard credit check, both of which can cause your credit score to drop.
Repaying your motorbike finance will only help boost your credit score if you are also making timely and full payments for your other debts. If you have other lines of credit, and you pay them off on time and in full, it can help to build a positive credit history and show that you can manage credit responsibly.

Can I get guaranteed motorbike finance?
No, it isn’t possible to get guaranteed motorbike finance. No responsible lender can claim to guarantee motorbike finance or offer it with no credit check because it doesn’t exist.
Every lender will conduct a credit check when you apply for motorbike finance. This ensures that any finance offered is affordable and suitable for your circumstances.
This requirement is outlined in the rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates financial services in the UK. They say that lenders ‘must undertake a reasonable assessment of the creditworthiness of a customer’ before entering into a finance agreement.
However, that doesn’t make it impossible to get motorcycle finance with bad credit. It just means you might have to use a specialist lender.
While specialist lenders like Moneybarn exist to help people with a low credit score or no credit history, no lender can offer guaranteed motorbike finance as it doesn’t exist.
