RE: Extended warranty and GAP
I went to 4 years on the extended warranty. GAP would only be needed if you don't have much of a down payment on the bike. I put nearly half down so there was no need for GAP in my case.

Bought the warranty, put 50% dwon so didn't need the gap. If you're like most, minimum to no down - GET GAP. Guy at the local dealership didn't, totalled his new bike 60 days after buying it - complete with all the gear he'd financed in the deal...he's still paying for the bike, which was totalled.
I look at the warranty like I do insurance. I average 10-15k miles/year, and tour each year. Cheaper to have HD fix it on the road than pull it outta my wallet....

No need for extended warranty. Hell I would want a new bike every few years anyway. I had to get Gap cause I was upside down on my trade in. In Colorado Gap is a flat $300

RE: Extended warranty and GAP
Got the gap and 7 year warranty. The way I see it is, I want it paid off if I total it and I am not a Harley mechanic.
I just want to ride it not work on it.

Get the whole 7 years because once you buy it you can't extend it.
