I was scanning my bike documentation last night. I keep everything, religiously sorted chronologically. I bought an extended warranty when my bike was three years old, to run on from the end of the normal warranty and last night I found the extended warranty expires in December 2017, I had thought it was the end of this year. So here's to another year of trouble-free motoring, because you know it will never break down while covered ...

Well, we hope not anyway! One month into my extended warranty on my 2005 ST1300, my Alternator went out! I was glad I had the extended warranty! :D

If maybe at the end of 2017 you haven't used the extended warranty maybe Honda will give you a refund.

Or credit towards a 2018 ST! ;)

Ouch... not sure how the cost of the replacement works out against the cost of the extended warranty... but peace of mind has no price.

Ha - but that would be on the Recommended Price, not the price you actually haggle the dealer down to...

Gee probably the most reliable motorcycle made gave me piece of mind.

Plus being able to fix anything that might fail.

Not that anything major did fail.
