    Not sure if this is the cheapest but the following dealer and sales rep was posted here on the forum...Max's Cycle, Abilene, TX, 325-673-4636, Talk to Al Miller.
    I'm curious if you also got a quote for just the warranty. I already have roadside assistance with my AMA membership, which is a very good deal as it covers any family member and any vehicle you own.

    It's $595 w/o the roadside. The benefit of the roadside is your bike goes to a Honda dealer.

    I have a transmission problem on my 2013 F6B 48,000 miles
    They had to pull the engine and split the case to take pictures to send to Honda to see if Honda will cover it. Been waiting since May 26, 2020

    Having to wait over two months just to know if something is covered? That's a USELESS warranty. After I bought my new 1998 Valkyrie I was talking to a Honda service manager about warranty coverage should I need it. He said Honda bent over backwards to cover Goldwings because the owners were loyal and important to their business. Honda isn't the same company it was then.

    I was on the fence until I read this post. I'm going to put my $600 in a good ETF. My chances of coming out ahead will be better!

    I didn't think twice about it when they were $399. But after Honda raised their prices significantly a few years ago the decision got tougher. I could still change my mind until the bikes birthday next week. Interestingly, some manufacturers will extend your warranty after the original one expires, but you have to pay to have the vehicle inspected.
