It’s very hard to say No to .99% financing for 60 months on a $25k motorcycle. My 2015 will be paid off next year and I’m hoping they have the same interest special on them M8 softails. That will be the only way I finance a new H-D

I bought my wife a new bike 2 years ago and got 0.9% rate. You must have a tier 1 credit score which is anything over 750 FICO.
YMMV

Check bankrate, penfed credit union etc for their rates. Most of the time the dealer matches it, if your credit is good.

Really? How did you manage that? When I checked the Harley website their financing was 3.99% for new. Just curious.

Their rates can change like the weather....... Credit Score, Year/Model, time of year and even geographically where your located. I’ve seen .99% advertised in certain shops and my friends cross country say their dealership won’t offer the same even though it’s through the same bank Eaglemark.

thats what i got when i bought my cvo. i already had financing pre-approved through my credit union, the salesman said, 'lets run your numbers and see what we get'. and came back with 2.9%, beating my credit union substantially.

I had a 798 fico when I bought my ‘18 RGU. The best I got from the dealer was 7.5%. I was somewhat pissed that was the best they could do (and it wasn’t HDFI). Knowing I could refinance it at my credit union, I took it. 2 weeks later, I did a refi for 2.15%.

keep in mind that "the fed" upped interest rates again the end of June. Current interest rates are 2% in the US, so expect even the best lenders (like you local/loyal credit union) to be 2.9% or more. Sure there will be exceptions, but remember banks and credit unions are in business to make money if they're paying 2% you're paying more
