I am picking up a 9R this week and I remember seeing at one dealer that they listed them as two-year warranty and the dealer I buying mine at believes it is one year.

Can someone clue me in???

If it is a 03 it has a one year warranty. The 04s have a 2 year.

Absolutely not would be my guess. The legal and retro-flashback implications would be enormous.

Tell ya what...if, just if, you can craft the argument, clue me in. I bought my F-250HD Ford the year before they changed the warranty. They also changed the mirrors and I see no reason why, if they'd change the warrantty, they'd not change the mirrors. You know, thinking about it, they also went with the new compressor for the A/C...yeah...I want that too.

By the way, I'd also like to be paid the difference in my "pre-raise" portion of the year and get those hours "corrected" for the marginal increase!

I love the idea.

DYNA FOR PRESIDENT!

Not arguing Court, just asking the question if they would or not? No real difference between the 2 years besides the belt & gearing. Same exact motor & tranny setup. It would be a little incentive on Buells or the dealers behalf to unload any unsold 03's.

I tell ya what, if I was interested in the XB9 & had my choice I would take the 04. Another year warranty, better belt & pulley setup, less guards, etc for what? maybe $1000 more?

Not that I MIGHT be able to make work...your choice:

A: some low rate financing
or
B: the 2 year warranty

The key is that there MUST be some "quid pro quo", some "consideration" invovled or the deal gets on very thin ice.

I am thrilled to have seen Buell done the change in warranty

I am betting that they were including a 2 year warranty in their final price and it was not something offered from Buell.

So, what kind of deal could one swing on an extended warranty, as I know they have room to deal on extended car warranties, and would an HD warranty really be worth it?

I washed an waxed my M2 and I am really getting sad to think I have to sell it. I have become so attached to it...

Dyna, your choice may be an 04, but a grand is 12.5%, which is a fair amount. And the sole 04 the dealer has is an XB12S in black which is the demo, and they sold it already.

Personally, I love the white bodywork, but would love the white rims from an 04.
