So are you gonna reduce coverage on your bike insurance down to the strict minimum? Last time I checked, insurance companies make a ton of money too.
 
This sounds more like a "bash Harley, Gold Wings are great" thread, rather than a "gee I am glad I bought the extended warranty" thread. You also don't seem all that friendly.

Have a happy day.

The above is true of course. If the odds were that they'd be paying out all the time, no dealer or manufacturer would ever DREAM of offering extended warantees. It's sort of like an insurance company philosophy. They are betting that you will not get in an accident or if you do, it will be a minor accident. If they gambled that you would need many payouts, they would not be selling you a policy. Either that, or the rates would be stratospheric.
 
I have never had to take my 07 to the dealer for any issue. Just like my 96 FLSTF...very dependable. My experience with my 96 was the reason I passed on the extended warranty. The dealer was betting I would I have trouble. I was betting I wouldn't. The extended warranty is nothing more than another way for the dealer to make $$$ in this "down economy". Maybe your scoot was built first thing on a Monday or at the end of the last shift on a Friday........
 
Not a cool thing to say when people are simply expressing their opinions. My 01 FLHR has had a chitload of problems and all recently. A fuse blew on my turn signal/brake light and I had a running light go out. Oh wait, that is only 2 problems. My bad.... Total repair cost me about $24.00.
 
I think extended warranties are worth it just for the fact of the peace of mind they give. But be sure to save all of your maintenance receipts. Some of them will deny you quickly without the proper records.
 
+1 one on all this! What works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another. I got the ESP since I've been putting on a lot of miles on my bike, since I bought it (10,450) 4 months ago. Glad it worked out for you.
