Well, the time has soon come....my KTM 1290R Super Adventure warranty expires on Friday! I guess I just now cross my fingers and hope for the best!
It is a bit crazy to think that with the advancement in technology on many of the bikes today that the manufactures can get away with only offering very limited warranty. The S version of my bike comes with a two year warranty. Because mine has the R attached, it is considered off road and only gets 1 year warranty.
(I believe in Europe, the R gets a full two year warranty too).
These bikes are more like cars, and I think they should have the same with a minimum of 3 year warranty.
I think most all of BMW's have a 3 year warranty. But they have mandatory (dealer only) scheduled maintenance. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I did look at new BMW's back in 2011, but I remember the mandatory scheduled maintenance was pricey!
And don't get me started on aftermarket extended warranty (I have plenty of stories from my time in the automotive industry).
YMMV
