NEW YORK, NY – Sparta Commercial Services, Inc., the New York-based financial services company dedicated to the powersports industry, has launched a new Municipal Leasing Program designed to meet the needs of law enforcement agencies throughout the U.S. Sparta estimates that the municipal market for leases of law enforcement motorcycles exceeds $200 million annually, based upon extensive discussions that the company conducted among Harley-Davidson, Honda, and BMW dealers, with those brands being the most prominent in the municipal environment.

“We discovered that most of these agencies have historically been purchasing these vehicles with few, if any, alternatives, so we developed a way for governmental organizations to acquire the motorcycles they need through a program with great flexibility, and reduce their capital outlays at the same time,” said Anthony Havens, Sparta’s CEO. “Clearly, that’s a desirable option at a time when budgetary constraints are so common.”

Sparta has also determined that, given the seasonal motorcycle usage of many jurisdictions, and the significant mileage that others accrue, the short-term, 12- to 60-month leases available through the Municipal Lease program offer the greatest flexibility to the various departments.
