I had the 4 year warranty and heated grips thrown in when I did the deal. Being unable to extend the warranty was the main reason I changed from rsv4 to the panigale. Had no issues other than odd sticking exhaust valve in 2 years / 9k miles on the pain tho
Having recently purchased a Streetfighter V2, there is still a years Ducati warranty remaining, looking at the options to purchase Ducati extended warranty. It seems it has to be purchased at time of buying the bike new. Very strange they don't offer extending the warranty before the standard warranty is due to expire. Looking at this thread maybe they do offer something? Funny coming from a BMW they offer extending the warranty, it's almost like they encourage you to extend. What are peoples recent experiences ? Thanks all
It’s been like that for at least for the last 7 years. When I bought my Panigale V4 in 2018, I had a limited time to decide on extending the manufacturers’ warranty. When I bought my pre registered Scrambler a couple of months ago, I was told I couldn’t buy the Ever Red extended warranty but I’d be contacted about an extended warranty (from an aftermarket provider) nearer the date of expiry of the manufacturers warranty.

That's not great is it, very strange setup compared to BMW. I guess the answer is it's not a BMW, the aftermarket provider assume would be limited cover! Thanks for the reply at least I know there is no option.
To my mind the only legit option is the Ever Red warranty, effectively it's an extension of the factory warranty. Any third party warranty is, IMHO, subject to too many opt outs, limits and restrictions. Shame is that the Ever Red warranty can only be taken out at the time of purchase (registration), or, apparently, a month thereafter.
The Ducati web site, states that all “Ducati Approved” used motorcycles up to 6 years old, qualify for a 12 warranty. This can be tagged on to any unexpired portion of the original Ducati warranty. According to the AI internet bot thingy, the used warranty is underwritten by Motors Insurance Company Limited and Car Care Plan Limited, trading as Ducati Warranty Services, acts as the administrator, managing and administering all warranty services, including claims and correspondence.

Exactly, it's an insurance scheme, not an extension of the factory warranty. Subject to the discretion of the underwriter.
The Streetfighter V2 I recently bought arrived much later than expected so the dealer offered free items as ‘compensation’. I asked if I could have the extra warranty instead and the dealer said they would put it to Ducati. After weeks of waiting they refused and said they meant a t-shirt or something as compensation !! I asked about buying the warranty but as it was slightly past the 30 days I was too late. I complained and got the first service free but still didn’t get the t-shirt.
