I always thought these extended warranties were just a waste of money. Then I bought a Triumph Trophy that finds new ways to crap every month.
When I bought the CTX1300 I bought the Honda extended warranty. I plan to use this bike as my primary transportation for several years and I don't trust all of the fancy electronics to last. Honda calls this a touring bike. They usually have three year unlimited mileage warranties on touring bikes. The short warranty on this bike makes me wonder what they intend to do with the warranty on the Gold Wing and its variants.
I got it for something under $700. If you buy this at the time you get the bike you can wrap it up into the financing package. I think the dealers get bonus points for that.
I've read comments on the ST1100 and GL1800 forums about folks shopping around for better prices. You can buy the extended warranty at any Honda dealer at any time before the standard warranty expires.
I had to buy a car last week and I considered the extended warranty for it as well. But at less than 5000 miles per year I just can't justify the cost.
