getting ready to purchase the 06 CBR600RR and its like a grand cheaper without the 2 year warrenty honda sells with the bike...do you guys think its worth it to get the 2 year warrenty or should i just go ahead and save the money??

 

If you buy it you'll never use it. If you don't buy it you'll need it within the year. Kind of a gamble isn't it. think of it this way what could you do to your bike that would cost a grand to fix?I dont know unless you break it in wrong. Get full coverage somthing goes wrong hit it with your car and get a new one..lol I don't know but I bought mine used and now I've got 20,500 miles on it still running strong.

 

hit it with the car lol....well im not getting full coverage insurance cause its crazy high for me im only 20...thats why i was thinking about just getting the warrenty but i dont know of anything going wrong with the 06 CBR.

 

That seems really high for a 2 year warranty. I bought the 4 year warranty from Honda and it was $450. So the bike is covered for 5 years. I guess the price can vary from state to state, I'm in upstate NY and bought the bike in Vermont, but it sounds like the dealer is trying to rip you off.

 

I got a four year on mine for $300 so I just couldn't pass it up at the time. I think two year is not worth it but try to get a four.

 

That does sound high. One positive of a warranty is that if there is still one on the bike provided you ever trade it in, they give you A LOT more for the trade in. Encase you ever want to hop on a 100RR[sm=massbounce.gif]

P.S.-I'd go warranty... what was your quote for full coverage?... I got quoted for 1340 a year... i'm 21... thats a 250 deduct comp/collision

 

I'm on my second Honda, both have had extended warranties. I just bought a new '06 1000RR, the 5 yr extended warranty cost a total of $580, so make sure your dealer isn't jerking you around.

For me the true value in an extended warranty isn't just to cover mechanicals. It's a Honda, so mechanical failure is rare. The true value is when you go to sell it. To be honest, dealers won't give you much extra for a trade-in because you have an extended warranty, at least the ones around me wouldn't. In fact, they suggested that if I wanted my money out of an ext warranty that I call Honda and have them cancel the warranty to get a prorated refund. However, If I'm buying a used bike that has an extended warranty it tells me a lot. I'm far more likely to buy a used bike with an extended warranty than one without. So from that perspective, the extended warranty should help with resale to a private buyer if you choose to sell it at some point.

 

i cant really remember what full coverage was it might have been somewhere around there or a little higher....yeah im going to go back and tell them what you guys said about yours and see if they are messing around with me
thanks
hopefully i sell the car soon so i can get my bike i want it sooooo bad
