Tech Talk Info....something new...
« on: March 28, 2014, 03:45:51 PM »
I heard that some news was mentioned at the Tech Talk...

Something about a lease program here in the US for The Empulse.

Could be a good program as many people are wondering about updates to the batteries and such.

Anyways, discuss...would you lease or purchase?

Stay tuned for more information on the lease program coming out very, very soon. I let the cat out of the bag at the Tech Talks, but the full story isn't too far behind.  8)

My spies are everywhere waiting for any small taste of information :)

Hmmmmm, an RR lease would be tempting...

Should maybe pay off the R first.

I don't think I can ever recall a factory program for leasing motorcycles.  This just might be a first.  I can recall my BMW dealer wishing that there would be a leasing program but apparently his wishes were not sufficient for the BMW finance department to create such a lease program.
current bikes: 2018 16.6 kWh Zero S, 2011 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic, 2009 BMW F650GS, 2007 BMW R1200R, 2005 Triumph T-100 Bonneville, 2002 Yamaha FZ1 and a 1978 Honda Kick 'N Go Senior.

I think the only thing holding back many buyers is the price and un-warranted concerns about battery life (the latter of which the warranty addresses anyway). A lease program could make both of those lesser concerns.

Im with Gavin, I would jump on an RR lease... as far as my Empulse "payment" goes, I dont have one. though I will say, I was honestly pulling for discounted Empulse R's for the Brammovangelist team.

Whether or not I lease or buy an RR (not an if), im keeping my R because I see the Empulse as a piece of motorcycling history.
