Aegis, mechanical breakdown coverage
Went down to the Honda dealership to buy a new (2015) F6B and ended up buying a 2008 Honda Goldwing with 17,000 miles, so here is my situation; feel I paid too much, a week later went to pick it up and this is what I decided to do. I put money down and financed the rest and also bought Aegis three year extended coverage for $1,650.00, so to make up or not to spend even more I am dropping the "Aegis" and going to pay off the balance saving $2,130.00 on the finance charge, a $3780.00 total savings. Now I've come to my question to you all. Am I making a mistake dropping the extended coverage? I own a Honda 2014 VT1300CT Interstate and I was going to buy a 2018 Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe for my next ride and a friend was saying the bike you have is the less maintenance ride. So now owning the Gold Wing a very clean bike and a very low mileage I am thinking I am throwing money away on the Aegis. So you all owning the Goldwings know about or at least could advise me on this.
i traded my 2013 f6b for a pearl white 2008 goldwing...
i had a few minor issues to correct on the 2008 (but nothing serious, just like knowing the bike functions safely)...
changed the oil and oil filter,
had 3 sets of brake pads installed,
had the clutch and brake fluids flushed and replaced,
took off the centramatic balancers,
put on new bridgestone tires on my spare f6b rims (i didn't care for the dunlop elite 4 tires, nothing wrong with them, i just prefer the bridgestones),
had some critical torque values checked (the previous owner's mechanic didn't have a clear understanding of torque and it's importance)
bought it on ohio, took it to the tail of the dragon, and then back through tennesee and kentucky, i love having cruise and reverse now (i'm not a spring chicken any more)
as for mileage vs. warranty, i didn't even ask for one, it's a rock-solid bike, so i kept that money in my pocket.
enjoy the new wing,
