I got the 5 year unlimited mileage extended warranty. I double checked before I signed that it was UNLIMITED mileage because I plan on putting a ton of miles on this thing. I was putting 10,000 per year on my Star and really needed something a little bigger to be able to put more on riding farther and more often. I think the warranty made a difference of something like $25 per month on the payment, not bad for some peace of mind until it's paid off.

I put about 12k-15k miles on my bike per year. If it breaks after 2 years I'll fix it. I wrench my own bikes. I expect to be riding and not wrenching on this one 11,483 miles so far no problems. Bought the bike end of September, build date 8/16.

Postmortem is a term commonly used to describe the examination of a dead person.
Do you mean the standard warranty + 3 years?

No, I mean ESP for five years... first two are just the towing and loaner bike, but yes effectively three additional years of actual warranty.

This is dDavid way of being cute with word play. I digress though, the poor man is at odds with himself trying to decide if and when he will pull the trigger on buying a Harley, M8. Im not sure I care for the use of the word postmortem when talking about the M8, I think its a great motor, on a great bike.......
