Hi folks,
Fresh out of my learner's course with my M2 and I have a few questions about when to buy my first bike:
I saw a bike that I was aiming to own for sale (Kawasaki Versys-x300), and am tempted to buy. I feel like if I get it now I can ride fall and have a grand 'ol time.
Should I buy now?
OR
Should I just save my pennies (and off-season insurance expenses) for a down payment (or whole payment) for something in the new riding season?
The frugal part of me (i.e.: My Wife) wants to just hold off until the new season. I'm likely to agree, however a thought came to my head:
What if I just buy the bike now and store it, start paying it off over the winter months (without insurance), then insure it when riding season comes along?
To be honest I don't even know if that is possible but I figure I'd ask.
Thoughts? Experiences?
Regardless, thanks for reading!
