Make no doubt. If you can get it buy it. It will pay for itself & then some. It also can add to resale should you trade up every few years.

In less than a year, my 7 year ESP has paid for itself just in tires. And I have 6 more years of coverage. For me, it was a smart buy.

That's always a tough decision. It can add a lot to the cost of the bike, depending on how long of one you purchase. I did not get the warrenty when I got mine used with 12,500 miles. I've had a few repairs that the warrenty would have covered in the 3 years I've been riding it, but I am still ahead money wise. The company makes money on the warrenty problem as a whole. It's like insurance, it is your risk to take.

I've had my '06 for almost 5 years and never had a problem.

If I was buying a used bike, I'd opt for the extended warranty if the price was right.

This scoot had 14000 on it and was owned by elderly gentleman that ordered a trike from dealer. Got the bike for $14,445.00 Not a scratch on it plus he had written every service date and mileage plus the bling with reciepes attached. Am confident that there is no hidden problem with the bike, justwanted input from you people. I believe you have to have a little faith in product but time will tell.Have had hondas ( wing's, VTX's ect. ) since I was a kid this is my first HD. Dad and I used to ride all oveer the country before he passed 4 Yrs. ago. Miss the Partner!! will be going on long trips and remembring the good times while making new memories. so far I love the bike.

This bike was bought new by older fellow and he traded it for trike. All the service mileage and dates as well as bling with attached receipes were written down by him and in the manu. Am sure there are no hidden prob. with it but just wanted you peoples input. Have had scooters since I was a kid , but all honda( wings, vtx's ect.) this is first HD. I guess you have to have some confidence in product. Dad owned 54 HD and 47 Indian Chief when i was small but sold them in 63 when I was born. He and I used to ride all over the country until I lost him 4 yrs.ago. Miss the rideing partner but plan on still going on long journey's with no real time to be back home and remembering the good times while making new memories!!
