If you don't do any of your own work, they have a good reputation and you plan on keeping bike a long time go for it.

Like others have said, "IF" you trust the dealership and you ride alot, AND you honesyley think you'll keep the bike for at least 3~5 years, then it might be worth while. I can do most of my services for $60~$75 in my garage, so for me (even @ $100), that's 20 services or roughly 60k miles. So.... that;s not a bad price. If you use HD prices, it's even a better deal.

I wouldn't get it because:
Most people (at least on this site) trade for a new model, before they would break even on the $1,999 maintenance fee.
What happens if you move?
What if you are not happy with their work?
It is not really life time,what happens when you need maintenance 92 years from now?

Also, who is offering the agreement, the dealer or an outside insurance company? Either way, what if it goes out of business, like many unfortunateauto owners have found out with such plans? Like any maintenance agreement, they are betting that you won't need all ofit and you are betting you will, they have it calculated that they will make more money off of you if you select the plan. If it is an outside insurance company underwriting it, they usually let you take it to other places, read the fine print. Wish I could get all the money back that my wife hasspent on amulti year health club membership that soonwent out of business. Maybe this dealership knows something we don't.

My .02, sounds good to have your maintenance covered for the duration. But what happens when you go to sell it? Oh, they will tell you this is a plus for the potential buyer. Bottom line, you owe $2000 more on your payoff. See alot of guys in this position try to trade off in a few years and guess what. They are buried upside down. Coming from an auto dealership background I see this as great $$ for the dealership. Just MHO.

Sounds spendy, But if you put on a lot of miles and are not a do it yourself person, might be worth it. Just plan on keeping the bike!

****, I know people who can go through 4 scheduled maintenances per year. I'd be all over that plan like white on rice.

Sure wish they offered that plan here in Dallas. I paid exactly the same money for exactly the same plan, except no wash and wax, no rental bike, and it's for only three years! I think I got screwed.[:@]

If you want your bike to last a life time you better do the maintenance yourself.
