Is an extended warranty worth it?

[Kevin Hoskins <Kevin.Hoskins@xxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

When I purchased my '00 blue Sprint ST 2.5 weeks ago, the salesman offered a warranty 
for $825 that would add four years to the Triumph two year warranty. There is a $25 dollar 
deductable with each warranty-covered repair.

The question: based on the repair experience of long term owners of Triumph 
motorcycles, is an extended warranty a worthwhile investment or would I reap better 
return by leaving the $825 in a savings account and use it for future repairs after the 
Triumph warranty expires? 

(Of course, as he tells me about the extended warranty, I am thinking: "Are you telling 
me that the quality of this motorcycle you're about to sell to me is so pathetic and that 
it is going to fall apart after two years that I would be foolish not to purchase this warranty?")
