"Extended guarantee" from Honda

Hi,

For extra £500 you get another 2 years of warranty with unlimited mileage. Unlimited claims. Roadside Assistance for UK & Europe.
It means 4 years of peace of mind.

I hope to do 25K a year. Even more if possible. I do 10K/year on a VV without too much riding.

Does anybody know if this "Extended guarantee" is that good?
What is considered as consumables? Are coils, rectifiers and sensors consumables as well?
Seems too good to be true.

Do note that it's probably a 3rd party insurance policy to cover warranty work, rather than a manufacturer's warranty - this can cause further problems.

If thats the case, anything but a manufactures warranty is not worth having.

Ive had endless woes with these after market warranties.

My Audi TT threw its cam belt destroying the engine 3 DAYS after i brought it.

Warranty company weaseled and snaked out of it.

Had to threaten the garage with legeal action before they paid the 5k for a rebuild.

Also my stepdad had one of the oil filled suspension units go on his Citroen, not the bushes but the actual shock its self.

" wear and tear " i believe they said was the reason for not paying out. Confused

I went for it for the KTM partly because I found the KTM European cover to be excellent and this was extended for two years too.

I was looking at the NC700X and the sales guy said it was a Honda extended warranty when I asked him, though I would have to have the services done at Honda during the extended period too.

Manufacturers do extended warranty that generally cover all major mechanical and electrical components,

Better find out what is on offer before bad mouthing it.
