Cagiva USA Motorcycle Retailers Offer New Financing Program

ST. PAUL, MINN. - Nov. 29, 2006 - GE Money’s Sales Finance unit today announced an agreement to provide consumer credit services through Cagiva USA dealers nationwide. GE’s FUNancing revolving and an installment loan credit program will be available for the purchase of motorcycles and accessories.

Cagiva USA, located in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, is the exclusive distributor of Husqvarna and MV Agusta motorcycles in North America.

“Cagiva USA has experienced phenomenal growth over the past couple of years,” said Greg Pierce, vice president and general manager for GE Money’s Powersports industry. “Adding GE as a strong financing partner will help continue that growth pattern.”

“Offering consumer credit through GE Money will provide benefits for both our customers and our dealers,” said Larry Ferracci, director of operations for Cagiva USA. “Consumers will find it much easier to finance the motorcycle they want, and dealers will have an effective new marketing tool backed by proven industry expertise and service.”
