That isn't too bad on a used plan. Heck, I haven't heard of a new plan going for that. My 3rd party ESP set me back $1350 for the 7 year.

i bought my bike and my bike and ESP from harley at the time of the sale. The Dealer was Hot Metal Harley in West Mifflin Pa. They were a good dealer to deal with I drove 800 miles round trip to secure the deal.

I purchased the ESP (7 yr/tire wheel) on my '13 CVO Ultra and thankfully never had to use it.
I did however, as the expiration date neared it's end, paid out-of-my-pocket to replace the hydraulic lifters at 33,000 miles and I haven't put 1,000 miles on it since.
(I bought a new Tri-Glide).
I read so many posts about lifter failure on the 110's so I figured that it would be a good investment, and warranty or no warranty I didn't want the risk of having a blown-up engine having to be repaired.
I think I have enough bikes (and mileage availability) to last me until I'm either too old or too dead to ride!

I have a 2016 FLHTKSE with the ESP and was money well spent. Had front wheel bearing go= new feont rim. Main cam bearing let loose for total engine failure = new engine and infotainment system get moisture behind screen = replaced infotainment system. to date out of pocket has been $150.00 ESP was Money well spent.

That isnt true. There are 3rd party ESPs out there that will cover you and your build, and it wont even break the bank.
