We are having issues with financing on a 2002 Honda Goldwing champion trike. It has 45k miles, a bunch of accessories. We can only get the value of the bike not the value of the package. Who is everyone using instead of banks.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
When we bought our first one, we had problems getting our bank to understand what a trike was. Finally, took them photos and still had to explain everything. It helped that I have banked with them for thirty plus years. Directing them to something like Cycle Trader might help. Don't think there's anything like a blue book for trikes.

So how many threads are you going to post this on? You hit the Chat Room with the exact same question. Did you recently create a fake user ID so you could troll this board?
Here's the reply I gave you in the Chat Room. Don't bother asking again unless you intend to be honest with this group!
From the Chat Room:
"Financing? Explain to the lender that you're buying a motorcycle valued at $9,700 (show them the NADA page) and $10,000 worth of accessories (same as an insurance quote).
Seems that you're right in the ball park. Least they should go is 80%, about $16,000 on a 3 year loan. Have you tried your credit union? They financed my trike - no problem."
Well Hell I guess he told you!:laugh:

A suggestion? find out the value of the bike and then find out the value of the kit and triple tree less depreciation to arrive at a ballpark figure.
How much will the bank loan on a bike that old? show them its true worth and see what happens?
I think all your chrome goodies would be valued at about 1/3 the original cost? at least that's what insurance might consider if ruined?:Shrug:

Velocitycycles, just be grateful that Veritas didn't see this post. You would have gotten an ear blast that would have roasted your chestnuts big time.

Damn! Wish I could get a new septic system. Best they'd float me for was a Porta Potty. :xzqxz:
I went with all the info on the trike and the loan officer went to the website and printed off the page showing what the kit cost.That along with pics of the trike were sent in to the overwriters and the loan was approved on appeal.

There you go throwing money down the drain. ;)
Thanks for all of your help guys! Sorry about the double post, I didn't realize it was a big deal. I just wanted so see what local people have done and that is why I went into the PA group.
Not a problem..post all you want, but double posts arent encouraged.
Sorry about the mix up, it will not happen again.

No problem at all...glad you joined us! ThumbUp
Just went through this with my Credit Union. They ended up using the value of a Tri-Glide in the same year model, after I showed them that the value of a Roadglide was close to the same value of a Ultraglide. The underwriters still wanted 20% down and I have good credit and a history with them
My issue is my CU wants to see an invoice for the trike kit and install, and the original owner can not provide that! any other suggestions?
Perhaps, champion could help provide pricing for that particular kit, might be worth a phone call.
