Tire and Wheel Coverage replaced a rear tire for me with 10K miles for a puncture, zero deductible on my current coverage.
It is a gamble. You are betting it will break, they are betting it will not, the winner is decided at the end of the plan term.

Doesn't that seem counter productive to bet additional money that a bike will break, considering the fact that a person just spent 20k+ on it? I WON! My bike is a POS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of all the bikes (and H-D's) that I've owned, I've only had two extended warranties, one on my '96 RK and now on my '13 CVO Ultra.
I tend to keep my bikes a long time so I figured having a complete warranty was worth the price of the plan.

The thing that people seem to be forgetting in this thread; What was the total cost of the ESP that was purchased for the bike? Plus the deductible. Did the parts and labor required to repair the bike exceed that overall total? If it did great! If it didn't, well!

I got the ESP and the tire/wheel coverage when I bought mine. 200miles into my happy ownership, I picked up a nail in the rear tire. It was covered 100% labor too. I am pleased with having so far.

I purchased a 7 year ESP for my FLHTK. I ride between 15K and 20K per season. $1200 dollars well spent in my opinion. I will be amazed if I do not triple my investment over the 100,000 plus miles I will put on my bike.
