What is also good is the fact that in case of a sale, the warranty will be transferable. So, if the current owner sells it to someone else, then the new person will have the benefit of the extended warranty as well. This comes on the back of Aprilia's reliability concerns that was reported by quite a few owners on various platforms in the last few months. The Italian company did release a statement to address its customers.
