You had better Check

I see these guys on the forum saying they are paying $450 to $550 bucks for a 4 year warranty. What warranty are you getting for that, do you know? The two good extended warranties thru Honda that cover everything on the bike are both over $900 bucks. If your warranty is half that cost what does it cover? Warranties are only as good as the written statement. If they say we cover everything from stem to stern on the bike except those that are excluded you had better dig deeper and find out what those excluded items are. You might be amazed at what is actually not covered at all. The good Honda extended warranties cover the bike no question for as much as 5 extra years from stem to stern.

There is no 5 year extended warranty. The max is 4 years. It's called HondaCare (Honda Protection Plan) and this is what it covers:

There are exclusions and they are basically the same things that are excluded in the original 3 year warranty.

I also have it in a pamphlet that was later mailed to me by Hond; with my name and VIN stamped on it. No smoke and mirrors here about the extended warranty coverage.

It say 48 months cover with roadside assistance is $980 bucks and that is exactly what my Honda dealer told me this morning for the top of the line Honda warranty with roadside assistance. For God sakes don't shoot the messenger as that is what I was told by a very good Honda dealer that I have great respect for.

Those prices that are quoted in the link are Honda corporate suggested prices I believe. I think the dealerships have a minimum that they have to charge; the rest is gravy for them.

Could be that many stealerships realize that they can make a little off of the sale of a Honda protection plan at a discounted rate, rather than none by charging full price and very customers will take it?

I tried them. They will not sell to Florida bikes. Here it is $800 without the roadside assistance.

Before an insurance company makes a policy a lot of very smart experienced people sit down and review the statistics. They build into the price the odds of a claim and a sure profit margin for themselves! Like Las vegas your playing against the house and the odds when you buy any insurance policy!
Like health care, car insurance and yes even bike insurance, it's to the advantage of the insurance industry when the price of repairs goes up resulting in the fear of loss, forcing people into buying their product. But the facts and numbers prove, most of us will never use these policies.

+1 Makers of Electric Hand Tools are a great example of those trying to push/sell extended warranties at the time of purchase. A "great gimmick" to generate revenue for the sellers/manufactures. Insurance Companies are, in fact, the "greatest bookies" in the world. They are the "supreme odds makers" and ensure themselves of hefty profits. Remember this Insurance Industry Motto! "The premiums of the many, cover the losses of the few" thereby guaranteeing a grand profit margin!
