Honda just changed the game: Australia’s first 6-year motorcycle warranty lands at Hawkesbury

Honda has launched Australia’s first 6-year motorcycle warranty — a 3 + 3 program giving eligible road riders manufacturer-backed peace of mind for up to six years.

This is the kind of announcement that changes the motorcycle industry. Honda has officially launched Australia’s first 6-year motorcycle warranty, giving riders a new level of confidence, ownership security, and long-term peace of mind that no other motorcycle manufacturer in Australia currently offers.

From 1 May 2026, eligible Honda road motorcycles delivered on or after 1 July 2025 can now receive a Honda-backed 3 + 3 warranty program — combining a 3-year factory warranty with an additional 3-year service-activated extended warranty, for up to six years combined coverage on applicable models.

What it means

Not aftermarket insurance. Not third-party protection. Not dealer-only coverage. This is genuine, manufacturer-backed support from Honda itself.

Peace of mind for every ride

When riders invest in a motorcycle, they want more than just performance and styling. They want confidence. Confidence to ride more. Confidence to tour further. Confidence knowing the manufacturer stands behind the product long after the sale.

Honda’s new 3 + 3 warranty program delivers exactly that.

The initial 3-year factory warranty already represents a major step forward, but the additional 3-year service-activated extended warranty is what truly makes this an industry-first offering in Australia. It’s designed to reward riders who properly maintain their motorcycle using authorised Honda dealers, genuine Honda parts, and approved lubricants.

Applicable models across the Honda range

Honda’s 3 + 3 warranty program applies to a wide range of eligible road motorcycles, including some of Honda’s most popular models. Browse the range in stock at Hawkesbury:

Also eligible: CB500 Hornet, CMX500, Gold Wing, XL750 Transalp, CB750 Hornet, CBR1000RR-R SP and more. The 6-year warranty applies to eligible road motorcycles only and remains subject to Honda’s terms and conditions.

To qualify for the extended period, riders must:

  • Service the motorcycle at an authorised Honda dealer
  • Follow Honda’s recommended servicing schedule
  • Use genuine Honda parts and lubricants
  • Ensure the motorcycle is not used for commercial purposes

An industry first that changes expectations

Manufacturers don’t offer warranty programs like this unless they truly believe in their motorcycles. Honda’s move sends a clear message about the reliability, durability, and engineering confidence behind the range. For riders comparing brands, this changes the conversation completely:

  • Longer coverage means stronger ownership confidence
  • It adds reassurance for future resale
  • It strengthens long-term value
  • It gives riders another reason to seriously consider Honda

Whether you’re chasing adventure, looking for a commuter, upgrading your current ride, or stepping into your first motorcycle, Honda’s industry-first 3 + 3 warranty adds a whole new level of confidence to ownership. Come in, check out the range, and see why Honda is leading the way.
