Suzuki has recorded a bump in PCP sales on motorcycles, citing demonstrable ‘affordability’ as the contributing factor.
Promoting the bike manufacturer’s recently launched online finance calculator, Suzuki has offered the example of a V-Storm 650 purchased on Suzuki Rider Plan, its PCP offering operated by Close Motor Finance, with a £1,500 deposit, which would work out at £112.02 a month for 34 months.

The balloon payment would be £2,677.50 and the APR Representative comes to 8.9%. If combined with the brand’s £800 cash back offer as a deposit, the monthly rate would drop to £99.55 a month over 35 months.
‘Preconceived’
Paul de Lusignan, general manager at Suzuki GB Motorcycle Sales & Marketing, said the calculator would challenge "preconceived views on finance deals".
"APR is the main figure many consider, but in reality it’s the affordability that truly matters to customers," he said.
