zerofz07 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 So I need your opinion on something guys. I've been wanting to get an fj09 for a good while now and I keep seeing some good deals on Craigslist for low mileage ones. I know if I go to a bank or credit union I know I'm going to get accepted for the loan. But what do you guys think should I wait until I pay off my FZ which I still owe maybe like $7,000 on or should I get it and have both bikes? I will definitely be able to keep up with the payments because the FZ is my only debt right now and I don't plan to get in then the other debt. I make more then enough to pay both bikes and to live on. Long story short : should I wait to get an FJ until I pay off my FZ or should I just get it now?

Beemer Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 It sounds to me like you're not satisfied with an 07 so I would sell it, get a new 09 and since I had $$$ to blow I would get a fun toy other than a bike. For my pleasure I would get a Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator mjh937 Posted March 13, 2017 Global Moderator Share Posted March 13, 2017 This is a personal thing and everyone has different ideas on debt, but since you asked... I would pay off the FZ-07 as quickly as possible and then save up a decent down payment for another bike. I personally do not like to finance toys (and my bike is a toy as I bought it 100% for fun) but if that is your only debt then you are already doing better than the vast majority of people, so congratulations on that. Let us know what you decide. The FJ-09 looks like a great bike. It would be nice to have something more touring oriented in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will still be riding my FZ for canyons and track but that's why I want the FJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
