Harley-Davidson is an iconic brand when it comes to motorcycles. An aspirational brand that conjures a range of thoughts for different riders. But as a top-level brand, one of those thoughts may not be an affordable price tag and a ride for learners. But both of those are a reality with the new LAMS models from Harley-Davidson.
The new X350 and the X500, quoted at under $12k rideaway pricing, may be ideal for new riders to enjoy the prestige of owning a HOG and for any rider to ease the cost of living pressures with an affordable purchase. Great purchase price and potentially lower transport costs than owning a car. When financed through Jade Bike Loans, add cheaper interest rates for lower repayments to the list of savings.
The news of these new LAMS models will no doubt be extremely exciting for learners and new riders. The first models from Harley-Davidson were approved as LAMS motorcycles available for a few years. Reports have the X350 and X500 available in the Australian market late this year. Contact, or rush, to your local Harley-Davidson dealer for details and start talking motorbike loans with a Jade Bike Loans consultant.
Harley-Davidson X350 & X500 2024
The X350 and the X500 have several similar features but the X500 has a larger engine and is taller. Both have a DOHC liquid-cooled parallel-twin 4 valve engine. They also have a 6-speed transmission, dual front disc branks, single rear brake, and foot controls mid-mount.
According to Harley-Davidson, these new LAMS models provide full control through the adjustable from and rear suspension, to match the comfort with the performance. Control which may be welcomed by learners and new riders.
The X350 features several design elements to assist riders to better grip the 350 when braking and cornering. They are the narrow shape of the seat nose plus the back of the fuel tank. These also allow for most riders to place their feet down flat when stationary.
The X500 has American Roadster styling and the signature HOG LED headlamp. The seat is designed to provide greater comfort through width and pad thickness, for longer ride comfort.
Both models are available in the same choice of colours – Pearl White, Dynamic Orange, Dramatic Black and Supersonic Silver.
Now for the quoted pricing. Currently, the Harley-Davidson site is showing a ride away price starting from $8495 on the X350 and $11,495 on the X500. These prices may vary depending on the rego being included what that is in each state and other possible dealer charges. But that is a great indication to start planning a purchase.
Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Loans
Most buyers will be requiring financing for their Harley-Davidson. Jade Bike Loans provides cheaper interest rates on the new Harley-Davidson LAMS models to assist riders in easing the cost of living pressure and enjoying a prestige ride.
The most suitable loan for new motorcycles is the Secured Motorcycle Loan. This has a straightforward and easy to understand format. The motorbike is accepted as security for the loan and many applicants won’t need to provide additional security.
We ensure this type of loan has a fixed rate of interest and is set over a fixed loan term. This results in a fixed schedule of equal monthly repayments. With our large lender coverage and the sharp negotiating skills of our consultants, we have a track record for consistently achieving cheaper interest rates. A cheaper rate means lower monthly repayments which may ease the pressures faced by many from rising costs of living.
A comprehensive insurance policy is required to be obtained when purchasing a motorbike with finance. Secured Bike Loans do allow for extra payments to be made in addition to the scheduled repayments, should the buyer choose to do so.
One point to note is that these new models are learner motorbikes. But to be eligible to apply for credit under Australian Consumer Laws, applicants must be over 18 years of age.
These models are due to be available later this year, and pre-approved loans are available ahead of purchase. Allowing buyers to possibly pre-order or register interest with the confidence that their financing is approved. Pre-approved loans do have a validity period and one of our consultants can advise you when would be the ideal time to apply to fit with the availability date of these new models.
Interest rates may change between now and December, but the general feeling across the markets is that the RBA will keep rates steady for a few months. Making it easier for buyers to use our current rates on our Bike Loan Calculator to work up rough repayment estimates to start planning. Work up estimates and/or give us a call to discuss how to apply for motorcycle finance.
