Against the grain here.
Pay the trike off and in a couple of years or whatever then go for the single ride.Ya want the single that bad then ,whatever your extra payment would be for the single put that toward paying off the trike.

I hate paying interest on a car, truck, or motorcycle.
THe last vehicles that we have bought were at 0% or we paid cash if that rate was not available.
The last H-D dealer I talked with told me that the lowest interest rate they could get would be 2.99% and that was with a good sized down payment and a good credit history, which isn't bad if you don't stretch the loan out more than 2-3 years.
If it was me and I could make easily make the two payments, I go that route and pay the loan with the highest interest rate off first, or stash the extra money aside just in case.
Kinda weird as I'm thinking maybe of buying a 2013 Tri-Glide as I have other two wheelers to ride.
