At least one powersports dealer is accepting a new form of payment for motorcycles: bitcoins.
Old Road Harley-Davidson, a dealership in Santa Clara, Calif., sold a Harley-Davidson motorcycle to a customer using only bitcoins last month, according to a published report.
Bitcoin has been in the news a lot lately, particularly as car dealers continue to get on board with the digital currency.
The payment was processed by BitPay, a bitcoin payment processor.
“We know it was the first Harley in the United States, and perhaps in the world, bought via bitcoin,” Mike Moffett, president of Old Road Harley-Davidson, said in the report. Old Road Harley-Davidson first opened in 1965.
