    Get a loan from the bank you are probably going to get a better rate of intrest. Thats what I did for my last bike and it worked out grand.

    exactly, lower interest rates from a bank, and payments are more flexible.

    Bikes + Finance is a bad idea, sure the depreciation, and the small re-sale market is madness.

    If you want a bike on finance I know chain reaction and wiggle do it. I know they are English companies but EU law has just changed allowing companies to give small loans to people in other countries. Suggest you maybe give them a ring and ask but the interest will be a lot higher than the bank.

    Other option go learn how to play a musical instrument and sit on Grafton Street for a few hours paying your heart out and you will soon earn enough.
