I just got my motorcycle license and I wanted to get my first bike. Should I finance it through my bank or should I go through the dealer?

Talk to your bank, and get pre-approved for a loan. You then will know what interest rate that you can get from the bank. Compare that to the rate offered by the dealer, and choose the lower cost option.

Going though the bank will be a better option. They have more experience and in it for probably longer than the dealer.

bank

dealers usually have more built in hidden fees and surprises, like a balloon payment at the end of 3 years for instance

You should go with the lowest interest & fees for the same term loan. Whom ever offers the best deal is where to go. I suggest you look into one of your local credit unions as well.

Which ever gives the lowest interest(APR)
You will need a money block pre approved loan check from the bank because you wont know what the bike costs.
