    And I still can't get over on how good they use the space and how clean the shop is.
    No piling bikes in one place - all bikes have ample space around them, all in wheel chokes so it easy to sit and try.
    Gear is all organized - really thought out use of space.

    Yeap, these guys carry excellent brands, have top notch staff and great prices. Maybe the best shop in the Golden Horseshoe?
    There is no planet B.

    Very well could be! I am a big fan of Glen at FS, Simon at Topendz and gpbikes was my number 3.
    But looking at brands, selection, prices and SERVICE - Yamaha Oakville is now in my Top 3! I think they are doing the right thing with less is more - carry top brands at reasonable prices and actually have sizes and models in stock.
    And they had 50th Anniversary Edition of FZ8 on the floor -big droool!

    I've visited their facility a couple times last year and always left with a smile on my face. They're focused on customer service and it shows. I would easily recommend them to anyone in the area.

    +1 Oakville Yamaha is a shining example of customer service. I bought my Kriega bags and Held pants there early last season, and dropped by last month, they remember me. Best pricing for Held Titan gloves I've found, even better than online.

    I think I read your review while searching and that's how I ended up going there.

    Did you see any Shark Helmets on display? I think someone here said that Yamaha Canada is the distributer for Shark brand this year!

    I was not looking at helmets - I did see that they carry Schuberth and did not pay attention what else.
    Give them a call

    Just want to confirm that the OP and everyone else is dead on about the spacious dealership and excellent super friendly staff.

    I went in on Saturday afternoon with my girlfriend and I wanted to see what the rave was all about about this place. Kyle and Marc helped me find an appropriate size for my Held gloves, but they took the step further to chime in on their experiences and giving me advice on how to get into the hobby. They were by far one of the most friendly, patient and understanding sales staff I have ever came across.

    I will definately come back and will be on my top place to go for other accessories and gear in the future (or bike even too!)

    Thanks a lot guys, you made our afternoon a great one!

    -Brian
