    I’m exploring new bikes and financing options

    I’m on a pcp now and not convinced its the way forward as loans are cheaper without any conditions attached i.e I can do what I want at anytime without pcp restrictions

    if I go down this route I’d keep the bike for 4/5 years at least so an extended warranty would make sense

    Whom would you recommend for such, I see Car Care Plan provide Triumphs pre-owned warranty's

    Everything I've read about extended warranty is that they are not worth the money, with so many exclusions included it is difficult to know what and what not is covered. Like DD has said a new bike well maintained is unlikely to cause you to many problems in 4/5 years of pleasure only riding.

    I have never purchased an extended warranty on anything. Maybe luck but if I did it would have been a waste of money. Nothing 'failed' during the extended period (cars, bikes, whatever). I probably 'over-maintain' my vehicles, everything per the book and it has served me well over the years. Like others have said if you take good care and properly maintain the bike 'probably' not needed. But there is always a risk, but my opinion an low one.
