I popped by their showroom last week and there wasn't much left. I get the feeling they move a lot of bikes. I'd like to hear from people who purchased from them.
- quality of product
- deal you got and were they fair
- after purchase treatment any issues after you bought the bike
In a nutshell are these good guys to deal with and were you satisfied? It also seems like they only sell US bikes.

A close friend of mine purchased an 08 R6 from them back in april... the bike was in stellar condition, and everything went well with the purchase. there was a smalll coolant leak as one hose wasnt tight 100%.. this issue was dealt with within a day, no questions asked at no charge... overall a very good experience... if i was in the market to buy, i would shop there for sure.

Im replacing some parts with aftermarket parts so l really didnt really care about the problems l had with the bike l bought.
you gotta remember, all their bikes are US bikes... you have no idea where they have been. Bikes 08+ shouldn't have coolant leaks, failed sensors and such... (it just makes me paranoid, since i"m not too mechanically inclined).
I also realized US and Canadian bikes aren't identical. The US R6's have no immobilizer, so the key and ignition look different (look cheap) and there's no blinking LED light.. (lol, the little things) ... I have OCD, so I said no and bought a local R6 for cheaper.
Thanks for the input guys/gals. Would like to hear more though.
I got my bike with them, 08 cbr600rr. I had no experience with bikes, so no idea what to look for. Bike had minor damage, at first glance. Once I got it home, I realized it had a lot of damage. The muffler was poorly re-welded at the connection of exhaust pipe and muffler, had to get it welded again. Back fenders were all cracked underneath, lights are all hanging off, rad bracket is broken, rear brake is bent, tires should never passed safety, they fixed some fender damage and over spray was on the tank, oil wasn't changed, fluids where dirty...list goes on.
The "car facts" sheet they gave me said the bike was never damaged, but several mechanics have told me with certainty that the bike has been down several times, probably rear ended. The bike was highly over priced considering all the damage and any mechanic would have told them about all this damage. I was naive, next time I won't be.
They were very nice, and the experience there was cool. My advice would be to look over the bike very well.
I don't ride a bike for safety.
I will probably upgrade next year and am just seeking opinions/reviews about different dealers. When I was there last week there wasn't much left but what I saw wasn't too stellar. I guess they already sold the pristine bikes.

I got my 09 sv650s from them, great guys they let me keep the bike there for a couple of days after I was suppose to pick it up so I can do the motorcycle safety course. My bike was 09 but was new with 0kms so was in excellent shape. I recommend them, and when I upgrade in a year or two, I plan on going back to them
