Default What is an average finance rate for a new bike?

Anybody out there finance lately? With this economy I am wondering if they are more strict or more loose to increase sales?

I have great credit and should be ok, What is an average rate through Harley?
Any advice for financing through the dealer?

Santa maria Harley is financing at 5.25 percent right now. Most other dealers I spoke with are at 8.9 for tier one which they said was 740 or higher.

I agree with the credit union route. When I was looking at Harley, I asked just to see and my local dealership said that even good credit applicants were right around 8.9%.

Got mine for 0.00%
Payed cash.
Not bragging, I have trained myself to "never" buy playtoys until the full amount is saved up.
