I am looking forward to putting down $2k - 3K on a motorcycle and my credit is fair, chance of financing?

[iwanttokno22]

What is the chance that i will get financed? I have a credit history of about 4 years. What are some things I can do to get my score up and increase my chances of being financed? Im looking to purchase a used or new motorcycle sometime in march 09 -may 09. Whats the best time (month, season, etc) to purchase used motorcycles? Im trying to avoid asking my parents for a co-signer? Oh and is it best to ** used or new? I had a dirt bike when i was younger but it didn't change gears so do you think its possible for me to get away with riding a 500cc or just stick to a 250cc. I am trying to buy a Ninja 250r 08 or 09.

Thanks for your help

With the credit crunch, your chances of financing are fair to low.

And do note the bigger the engine on a bike the more likely you will kill yourself on it.
