I guess it is just a crap shoot, when dealing with warranties. I am almost 70 and I have NEVER needed to use any warranty until the wheel nut recall on my Ryker....if that is considered "warranty" work. Any work that I have had to have done to replace anything on my vehicles has been years after purchase and then it was just due to those parts wearing out. On the other hand, my son purchases warranties on everything he buys, TV, appliances, and even his home. And he seems to use those warranties in many cases. I will take my chance and then if I end up spending a bunch of money on repairs, you all can say "told ya so." I do know that just service for cycles is a ton. When I went to the dealer to have the wheel nuts replaced, they did not even have the Ryker service prices posted yet. When I asked them how much it would cost, they gave me an estimate of almost $300. They said that was a guesstimate, based on Spider prices. To be honest with you, I think that after the first service, I will learn how to maintain mine. I stopped doing my own oil changes and what not once I was financially secure enough to pay someone else to do it, but that is more than I can throw away in good conscience, as long as I am still able to do my own wrenching.
By the way, this is just my two cents worth, while shaking my head over the price of these warranties. If I ever need a thousand bucks worth of work done to my Ryker at one time, I'll get it done and then sell it. I had my car for 15 years before I needed to put that much money into repairs, and decided to keep it because it had lasted that long. Just an old man rambling on.............
