My bike's warranty is about too run out another 11 days it will have it's 2 yo. birthday. Bit of a worry, always nicer to have that security behind you, but am not expecting the motor to collapse on me. But I guess the idea is to trade up, only youd have to make a reasonable deal in order to justify it.
I just bought an Audi TT a few months ago it came with 3 years warranty, I also had an option to take out 4 years extra warranty giving me 7 years all up, I took out the extended warranty with Swan Insurance, it is mean't to cover exactly the same as the original with Audi, maybe they do the same kind of deals with bike warranties. It wasn't cheap it cost $1500.00 but I'm sure if they did bikes it wouldn't be as bad as that.
Cheers
