Default lemon law & florida.....

who knew? Ran across this bit of info regarding lemon law in Florida.

copy & pasted from Florida BBB bulletin..The Florida lemon law covers cars and trucks that are sold in Florida to transport persons or property. This includes demonstrators, recreational vehicles (other than the living facilities), and also leased vehicles if the lessee is responsible for repairs. The Florida lemon law does not cover vehicles run only on tracks, off-road vehicles, trucks over 10,000 pounds G.V.W., motorcycles, mopeds, or the living facilities of recreational vehicles....

https://www.bbb.org/us/Storage/16/Do...-LLsummary.pdf here's the whole thing.

Lemon laws have been discussed here in previous threads. You are just finding out that motorcycles are not always covered by state lemon laws.

The Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act is a federal law that covers all vehicles including motorcycles. But, lemon laws are state laws that vary which vehicles are covered and which aren't. Here in Texas, motorcycles are covered by the state lemon law.

This site has the lemon laws for all 50 states.

I knew bikes weren't included. It's a good reason to ride your motorcycle a lot in the first 2 years while it's still under warranty.

That sucks. So you can spend $60k on a nice 3/4 ton pickup and its not covered by Florida's Lemon Law.
