Extended warranties

[jmdaniel]

Is it worth it? Only you can decide. Must be purchased before the original 3-year warranty expires. I'm generally not a fan of such extended warranties, but I just got the one for my F6B. The original warranty expires in March. I'm getting older and if I decide to sell the bike in the future, the warranty might be a good selling point.

As for getting it, I did lots of research and found the following to be the best (and is where I purchased mine). Simple. Just have your VIN number when you call. He looks your bike up and confirms info, and enters the warranty into the Honda database. Took about five minutes.

Max's Cycle
Abilene, TX
325-673-4636
Talk to Al Miller
Cost: $585 for the 60 month (60 months beyond the end of your original warranty).

Thanks for the info, Dave! A memory popped up on my FB account that I brought the bike home 3 years ago today, so I got on the phone and Al hooked me up for 5 years. Roadside assistance wasn't included in the $595, but I added it for $50.

Basically; what's included in roadside assistance?

EDIT:...Just went to Honda's website and found this...

Yeah, even though I have AAA, that isn't going to take the bike to a Honda dealer, necessarily. $50 for 5 years wasn't too bad of a deal.
