Offer came in the mail today from Honda offering extended protection plans for my 2021 NC 750X DCT.
Ive never bought an extended warranty in my life. Then again I've never had a bike with a DCT trans or this much electronic stuff.
Protection Plans can be bought from 12 mo for $490 up to 60 months for $970. The first 12 mo are the big hit @ $490, the next 12 are only $90 and the following 12 are $110.
I'll be 72 next month and if I can ride 3 more years that would be astonishing considering family history ( going back 3 gens that I can track, no male has lived past 78), and the fact that I have already had a couple medical "issues". My goal was to ride until I was 70 (55 years riding street on 2 wheels) and I made that in May 2020. Still having the fire in my belly and still feeling physically/ mentally able, I moved the goal post to age 72. That comes next month. I should surely make that (God willing I will be on a MC trip to New England on my birthday with a couple CB 1100 buddies). Then I'm thinking the goal should be 3 more years or until I'm 75.
I believe this will be the 10th year of the DCT so Im pretty sure the trans is a solid deal and not much to worry about. Do I have reason to be concerned with Honda's electrics?
I've had 10 Honda motorcycles, 10 Honda cars/truck, 1 Honda ATV, and none have ever let me down in the past. I dont believe this one will either, but .....
