What we finance

Every kind of bike, one application.

If it has two wheels and a logbook, we can almost certainly fund it. Here is the spread of what comes across our desk.

Road & Sport

Naked, sport, sport-tourer and supersport. From your first LAMS-approved learner bike through to litre-class machines.

Cruiser & Touring

Harley-Davidson, Indian, BMW touring and Goldwing. Long-haul comfort and big-twin character, new or used.

Adventure & Dirt

Adventure tourers, enduro, motocross and dual-sport. KTM, Husqvarna, BMW GS and the rest of the trail.

Scooters & Mopeds

Urban commuters, electric scooters and mopeds. An easy, low-cost way to beat the traffic and park anywhere.

Why use a broker

Bike finance is its own game.

A motorbike is not just a small car to a lender. The right specialist treats it as the asset it is, which is the difference between a sharp rate and an awkward decline.

Lenders who get bikes

Some lenders treat a motorbike as an afterthought. We know the specialist panel that funds bikes properly, so you get a fair rate instead of a penalty for not buying a car.

Branded and premium machines

Harley-Davidson, Indian, KTM, BMW, Triumph and Ducati are all on the table, new or used. We match the bike to a lender who is comfortable with the marque and the value.

Private sale, sorted

Found the bike on Trade Me or in a mate’s shed? Most of our lender panel funds private sales. We handle the verification so the money lands cleanly.

Built for riders

Start your pre-approval, then go shopping.

You do not need the bike picked out to get started. Lock in what you can borrow first, then walk into the dealer or message the private seller knowing your budget and your finance is already sorted.

Common questions

Bike finance, answered.

Quick answers. Longer chats welcome on the call.

Why use a broker for bike finance? +
Banks and dealers often have one or two lenders behind them. We have a specialist panel, and we know which lenders are bike-friendly versus those that treat bikes as an afterthought. That usually translates to better rates and higher approval odds.
Do I need to have the bike picked out first? +
No. Start your pre-approval first so you know your budget, then go shopping with confidence. The pre-approval is good for a window of time and we adjust if the bike you choose changes the loan amount.
Can I finance a private sale bike? +
Yes. Most of our lender panel funds private sales. We'll guide you through the verification step.
How much can I borrow for a motorbike? +
We arrange motorbike finance from $5,000 to $150,000, which covers everything from a first commuter scooter through to a premium touring or adventure build with accessories.
Can you finance a brand-new branded bike? +
Yes. Harley-Davidson, Indian, KTM, BMW, Triumph, Ducati and the Japanese marques are all funded through our lender panel, new or used, from a dealer or a private seller.
