Default Leasing

Will Leasing Program ever apply on motorcycles in the near future ?. Care to share your opinions, Pro's and Con's. Thanks for your input.

A local Indy here has a lease program for Harleys.
Not sure on the details.

Harley did lease bikes to the public at one time. Was back in the late 80's or 90's I believe. They stopped doing that but did lease bikes to Police Depts up to around 2008. The program just did not seem to work for the dealers. I doubt if the MoCo will do it again but who knows. Rentals yes, leasing no

Couple of indy's in dfw lease bikes. No idea on the terms though.

For those of us who like to change often it could be good depending on mileage stipulations because if it was low mileage like 6k a year I'd get eaten alive on penalties.

House almost always wins on lease unless full time business vehicle. I would hate renting a bike.

Gunny, renting IS leasing. It's just for a longer term.

Since Moco can't give Streets away, maybe a lease will help move them.
