im tihnking about putting a down payment on a TRX 450r, i will be putting down 4 grand and prolly have to pay off 3 grand over 2 years, im 15 and at my new job i will be making close to 120 per week, i think the payments will be close to 85 bucks with one the deals they have going, i race and thats why i want one, i rode a 450 the other day and fell in love, lol, im only 15, i was planning on putting a Sparks exhaust on it, nerfs and a kill switch(so i can race it), idk is this a good idea?? or should i consider the YFZ

Yeah, but unfortunatley many people don't have 6-7 grand laying around to just go spend...:o

Yes, you should wait until you save until you have it all, but that is why there IS financing!

Take out a bank loan. Then just buy it.

:huh You're still making payments.:huh

I have to side with the others here. Racing something you're making payments on is a pretty risky venture. If you fifteen, and you have 4000 to down then buy a used 400ex and mod it up, you'll still be competitive and best of all you wont be married to a payment.;) Pay cash, it feels better.
