Get the Facts About Motorcycle Loans
When you choose to borrow to finance your motorcycle purchase, it’s considered a recreational vehicle loan. That means lenders will typically treat the purchase like other recreational vehicles – a camper, ATV, boat, or jet ski. When you work with FFCCU, you’ll get “credit union rates” on a recreational vehicle loan which can often be lower than conventional banks or lending institutions. Often interest rates will depend on the age of the motorcycle. The interest rate on a new bike will be lower than the interest rate on a used or pre-owned one. Harley, Yamaha, or Suzuki, we can help fund your dream bike so you can get out there and explore all the scenic areas Northeast Ohio has to offer.
Are you Eligible for a Motorcycle loan?
FFCCU will consider many factors to determine your eligibility for a loan, including:
- Your down payment amount. How much do you need to finance compared to the value of the motorcycle?
- Your credit score. Even if your credit score is low, you may still be eligible depending on your circumstances, down payment amount and other factors.
- Your credit history. A history of on-time payments on other loans can help lenders feel more comfortable approving your application.
FFCCU offers a convenient and quick online “pre-application.” Once you’re pre-approved, we will provide a pre-approval letter that you can take with you when shopping for a motorcycle.

The best interest rate is the lowest rate with the fewest processing fees. Typically, rates are lower when you borrow to purchase a new motorcycle.
It often depends on each individual’s personal situation and history. Typically, the lower your credit score the more difficult it is to get approved for a loan. If you want to make a major purchase that requires a loan, consider taking steps to repair your credit and raise your credit score.
Any time you apply for or open new credit there can be a short term impact to your credit score.
It is usually better to pay cash when you can, but financing can also make sense. If you have your money tied up in investments that are earning interest or dividends, then borrowing at a low interest rate can keep your money working for you.
FFCCU will consider your entire financial picture, including your credit score, when looking at your eligibility. However, the higher your credit score, the better your chance of being approved for a motorcycle loan. If you are worried about being approved, consider taking steps to raise your credit score.
