Default selling my F4, get a used bike or use that money for money down on a new bike?

i already have two loans out, one is for my gsr, and one is student loan.


im selling my F4 and gonna save up a little more, at 5gs im gonna shop for a new bike, i realy like 05 kawasuki 636 in orange :D, would it be pretty smart to just use all the money i get from the bike/saving up to put it as a down?

a couple of friends financed there bikes and tehre paying like 100 a month..and i cant do that i want to get rid of it fast.
putting money down on a bike will lower apr pretty good right?

I'd rather get a used bike, and if you're looking for an 05 636, they'll be right in your price range, used, by the time you're shopping.

as far as i know... putting money down will not effect the apr, at least in a positive way.
generally...
finance/loan for a larger amount = lower interest
finance/loan for a smaller amount = higher interest
the banks gotta make their money.

Buy used, but be smart about it. You can save alot of money buying a nice clean used bike.
