Getting a 125cc motorbike on finance: how does it work?

Getting a 125cc motorbike on finance: how does it work?

A 125cc bike is a great choice for beginners, commuters, and anyone looking for a light, easy-to-handle ride. However, the upfront cost can mean buying outright is an option that's simply out of reach. That's where First Response Finance can provide an alternative. We offer 125cc bike finance via Hire Purchase agreements, meaning you could get the keys to the ride you need, without it costing you a fortune. Here's how it works:

  1. You put down a deposit on your motorbike and borrow the rest of the money from us.
  2. You pay off the loan via fixed instalments, either weekly or monthly. This is done over an agreed period, for example, 48 months. 
  3. Your instalments include interest which means that by the end of the agreement, you'll pay back more than you borrowed. 
  4. When your finance is fully paid off, you legally own the bike. 

Just so you know... you may not have to pay a deposit, depending on the value of the motorbike and your credit limit.
