Just curious, how many of those that have bought the extended warranty has had to use it? I had it on another bike but it was a $30k bike that had known issues. As r liable as the B is, I question if it’s worth buying an extended warranty.

I would imagine it comes down to whether or not you keep the bike during that time. For the occasional transmission replacement alone, I'll be getting one when the time comes, just to avoid the potential downside. I suppose it might make it a more attractive quick sell, too, if the need arose.Originally Posted by Av8er

I think part of what is being sold is "piece of mind". They would not sell them if money was not being made.
Correct. Extended warrenties are nothing more than insurance policies, and we all know that the insurance companies are RICH. When purchasing them, a person is actually betting that the vehicle will have issues, as that's the only way they will ever recover the money they spend. Don't get me wrong, if a vehicle is known as a "problem" vehicle, it may make good sense to get the policy. I have faith in the Wing, or f6, as they have historically been very reliable machines. Not to say mine may take a poop on my next ride, but I do almost all my maintenance, and am pleased at 45000 miles how good the machine is. JMO
$631.11 is current cost of 4 year extended warranty. I struggle with the decision as I have just a couple weeks left on the factory warranty.
Struggled with it myself and decided to not get it. For a strange Florida reason it is more expensive in my state than elsewhere and you can't purchase it out of state as per Florida. Another factor is I have an 03 VTX in my garage with over 50K miles that has never been to a shop for any repair in 14 years. Honda quality I think. I would not be happy with paying 399 to buy and needing a repair of 350. Sounds like a 49 dollar loss to me. Plus with the warranty you have to stay on top of the Honda required maintenance and checkups which I think are excessive.
I was wondering how many ways they can decline a warranty claim due to missing a scheduled checkup or if I'm doing my own oil changes and they don't like my oil choice.
You can physically take your bike to an out of state dealer and get a Warranty if you live in FL. You just cannot buy a warranty online or on the phone if you live in FL. I bought my warranty in NC where I ride in warm weather, live in Orlando. One Orlando area dealer wanted $1300 for the warranty......
I was told it depended on where the bike was registered. Is yours Florida or NC?
I bought my bike new in Brookhaven Mississippi, rode it home and registered it in Orange county...... Insurance regulations simply are made to protect the old folks from getting scammed online or on the phone from out of state insurance companies, which is what a warranty is. You have to take your bike to the out of state dealer where he can see it if it is registered in FL when you are purchasing the warranty. Some out of state dealers don't understand the law as written and won't sell you one.... Call Blue Ridge Powersports in VA.... Call Honda warranty division... All Fl dealers will tell you only they can sell you one.
