Yes, just like a car lease. Leasing a bike will cost less than buying it on credit.
Of course the bike is worth less than the car. The numbers will reflect that.
Price is irrelevant.
I can lease you a $700 cell phone.
I start with projected value after 3 years, let's say $250
Then I work the monthly numbers around that, to recoup my $450 and give me whatever target annual APY for my risk. Say $30/mo.

The same could be said about car leases.
Yet, car leases are a thing.
