It’s not the first bike firm to do it, but Honda’s certainly the biggest. And its new six-year service-activated warranty will give customers peace of mind all across Europe, according to the company.
The new warranty covers the entire Honda range, from the EM1 moped to the GL1800, across 14 EU countries plus the UK and applies to both new and used bikes. There’s a maximum of six years’ coverage, and the warranty is tied to the bike, not the customer, allowing it to be transferred with ownership. After two years, the warranty is activated annually by a scheduled service at an authorised Honda dealership, using genuine Honda service parts. The new Honda six-year warranty is valid at more than 800 Honda dealers across the 15 countries in the scheme.
