You should have asked this question before you paid over the deposit 
Get a good warranty!

There were a good number of complaints about the early bikes, I reckon at least two dozen lemons reported here. But a dilgent (picky) owner together with a helpful dealer will have sorted those issues by now. If they didn't then make sure you get a comprehensive 12 month warranty & look through the threads on here to see if yours has any of the common issues that hasn't been fixed.
Mine had only one, the engine start switch. I mentioned it to the dealer as I collected it after 6,000 mile service (of course saying before would have been better). Only to be told they had replaced it as part of a preventative recall programme without me asking.
Just ride it & enjoy it.

If it is less than 2 years old - yes. After that try people such as Warranty Direct, but read small print, it is not nearly as comprehensive as the(expensive)BMW extended warranty.

I bought my GS new in 2004.
I've not had a warranty for a very long time now..... also I haven't had any other bikes.
