TRAVELLING ABROAD
Your warranty will be honoured in most European countries as stated in the warranty conditions. But be
aware of the following recommendations:
1. Ensure that your motorcycle is checked at your Honda Dealer prior to your trip.
2. Pay particular attention to periodic checks, as you may cover many miles at high speed with a
heavier than normal load.
3. It is strongly advised that adequate travel insurance is obtained to cover unforeseen
circumstances. Please consult your insurers or any motorcycling organisations.
4. Some European countries have legal requirements regarding certain “touring accessories”.
Please check this with your Honda Dealer before making your journey. Honda provides a range of
accessories available from your Authorised Honda Dealer.

related nature are dealt with and others are referred to your local Authorised Honda Dealer upon
return.
