LOS ANGELES, Oct. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- EagleRider, the world's largest motorcycle tourism company, announced today the launch of their EagleRider Certified (ERC) powertrain protection program, in partnership with EFG Companies, the innovator behind the award-winning Hyundai Assurance program.

To qualify as an ERC motorcycle, all bikes must pass a rigorous, 106 point inspection.  The program includes a complimentary 60-day powertrain vehicle service contract, 12 months of complimentary roadside assistance, as well as a 5-day satisfaction exchange guarantee, nationwide.  ERC bike owners have the added benefit of being able to have repairs performed by any participating OEM dealership for the respective brand.

"Certified Pre-Owned programs are common in the automotive realm, but are rare in motorcycles," said Chris Clovis, Vice-President of Sales for EagleRider.  "The key is value -- offering customers late-model vehicles for thousands less than new, while still providing the powertrain protection, roadside assistance, mechanical inspection, and financing of a new bike.  Combined with a 5-day exchange guarantee, customers know and trust what they're getting.  ERC eliminates the 'Buyer Beware' from a used bike purchase, replacing it with confidence and excitement." 

ERC bikes also qualify for long-term service contracts and roadside assistance plans, as well as flexible financing/leasing terms.  These include subprime programs for consumers with challenging credit, as well as low interest rate financing and zero down options.

"With EagleRider's national reputation of providing stellar customer service, they had ample opportunity to extend the service and benefits new motorcycle customers receive to their used-vehicle customers, as well," said Glenice Wilder, Vice President of EFG Motorsports. "Our private-labeled CPO offering for EagleRider takes on that opportunity by providing consumers with critical protection against unforeseen circumstances."

"Thanks to the quality of ERC motorcycles, nearly 40% of all bikes sold by EagleRider are delivered sight-unseen – customers have learned to trust the quality of an ERC bike," said Clovis. "EagleRider stands behind our bikes because we are committed to providing a stand-alone customer experience.  We want our customers to not only save on their motorcycle purchase, but also have a quality product that they can be proud of."
