Found this place on Facebook marketplace but never actually made a jump till 2 years later. I came to purchase a 2021 R3 but it didn't happen, not because it wasn't there but it wasn't for me. I am height challenge, feet 5'1". Lyon gave me lots of information and suggestions, he's obviously not just trying to make a sale but he wants to make sure the bike was the right fit for me. I really appreciated his time and honesty, this is the kind genuine that is hard to find these days. I am definitely going to keep an eye on his site for what I am looking for. read more

I was in the market for a used motorcycle and came across Arcadia Motorcycle Company. I am so glad that I went with this place over private sellers! Lyon is the owner and communication was prompt and detailed. I appreciate that Lyon was upfront about the cost and what it includes prior to making the drive out to his shop. Keep in mind that even though there are store hours posted here on Yelp, it is by appointment only. In person, Lyon is personable and great to work with. He is genuine and honest about everything that he has done (i.e. inspection/part replacements) to the bike. His prices are not only reasonable, but cheaper than many others that are sold elsewhere. This will always be my first stop anytime I'm looking to buy a used motorcycle! Thank you, Lyon! read more

My son needed to sell his motorcycle, so he and I brought his motorcycle to sell at this very clean shop near the railroad tracks in Arcadia. The owner is very honest and prompt about being available on Saturday, even though the shop is listed as closed on Saturday. The types of bikes in the collection were Japanese, German and others used for street and some for just cruising and commuting. The sale was 100 percent what was agreed upon and now I have more room in the garage! read more

It's reasonable to look at the motorcycle retail industry and assume that all dealerships, salesmen and purchasing experiences are the same. Lyon and his shop are one of the few exceptions to that fact. I had been seeing his bikes for sale on Facebook and Craigslist for a few weeks, while operating under the conviction that I would purchase from a private party only, not a dealer. But after being drawn back again and again to an SV650 he had, I decided to check out his Google and Yelp reviews and was quickly swayed to give a dealer a shot after all. Lyon runs a solo operation, and it's crystal clear that his mission is to help people get onto quality bikes at whatever terms are most suitable for their situation. The entire experience was painless, there were no hidden fees or markups, communication through email was timely and effective and Lyon was just as eager to help me get my bike at a specific time in my busy schedule as I was. There are not enough words to describe how much of a pleasure it's been to do business with Lyon, and I know I'll absolutely be right back at his door when I'm ready to move up to a bigger bike. This is the only dealer you should even consider doing business with, he sets the standard incredibly high and you won't regret it. read more

wonderful guy to work with, highly recommended for anybody in the area who rides (the right bike)

Very personable and quality work at a good price. Quick work on a tire replacement! Totally worked with my schedule to get me back on two wheels. read more

This is what you want with a shop! Within a few minutes of talking to Lyon I could tell he's honest and will give it to you straight. This is what I think anyone wants when working with anything to do with cars/motorcycles. He's not trying to "sell" you anything. You can tell he wants you to make an informed decision which is a breath of fresh air. I picked up a Kawasaki versys and the bike is an absolute gem. You can tell he takes immaculate care of his bikes. Made my mind at ease immediately. I highly recommend you check with him first before going anywhere else. Thanks again for the bike and the service, Lyon! Chris read more

I recently purchased a 2016 fz07 from Lyon. He made the process very easy for me. He was able to work out a good deal for me even though it was my very first auto loan. He was very straightforward with what bikes I was able to get in my current financial position. I'd definitely recommend AMC if your looking to get your first bike or even add another one to the garage. I was in and out in 30 minutes ! read more

Lyon is the man. I couldn't be more happier with the service and friendliness of this company. Others will jerk you around and be short with you- like the typical stereotype of auto shops. Got my tires changed on my Kawasaki Concours 14 and was charged a surprisingly fair, low cost, and honest price for the service. You truly do feel comfortable with the service and will never feel pressured, uncomfortable, or concerned with anything. I've already recommended them to many of my friends and will definitely service all my bikes here. read more

Lyon was great. I bought my first bike from him and I couldn't be happier with it. He made the process easy.

Great service super nice he was willing to work with my odd schedule went above and beyond imo would come back i was referred by a friend so i trusted his work before i even contacted him read more

The level of compromise of this shop it's 0. Business wise they have 0 ethical approach and you could be the next. I supposed to buy a bike, after trying days to contact "this business" finally I could where we agreed on terms and purchase a bike next week. Today I have q message "bad news, the bike it's been sold" , bud I supposed to go there on Tuesday to pick it up. The right way is to advice your client, let him know that another offer was made. You can't break a deal and leave the original buyer empty handed. Everyone knows this is not a good business practice. Don't relay on this shop, you will be disappointed. read more

Found this place through Yelp looking for places to service my GSX-R 600. When I rolled up, Lyon greeted me and was ready to start working on my bike. I asked him a few questions about my bike which he was super knowledgeable on. Lyon works really quick and managed to do the basic maintenance service in just a little over an hour, which was way faster than I can when I work on my own bike. I plan to keep coming back when my bike needs maintenance! read more

Nice guy, honest and affordable, quick and thorough service! He was so helpful and accommodating and took the time to explain the problem and solutions and not pushy. Thank you so much!! read more

I came for service and inspection. The place is motorcycle sales first, service second, but that didn't stop Lyon from providing stellar mechanic skill. Got all requisite service done without any fuss. Lyon is also clearly passionate about motorcycles, not just a simple hustle. Will come back for all my motorcycle needs. read more

Second bike purchased from Lyon and Arcadia Motorcycle Company. Lyon is professional, knowledgeable, and competitively priced. There are no hidden fees or hidden issues with any bikes. All bikes go through a full service, even if they appear to be brand new. From valve adjustments to fork seals. Lyon has been in the business for a long time and has a wealth of knowledge. Every time I've purchased from Lyon, we spend 10 minutes signing paperwork and 30 minutes talking about bikes, racing, etc. I've referred several coworkers to Arcadia Motorcycles and some are on their second bikes from Lyon. Long story short, I only purchase from Lyon. My only complaint is I wish he was closer lol! read more

Showed up to the front of a nice and very clean location and met with Lyon right away he greeted me and after I told him I was here for the Yamaha since I had done the paperwork online and Yamaha R3 he pulled it right out signed some final paperwork and before I knew it the motorcycle was loaded on to the truck! Thank you so much Lyon your office was extremely neat and organized and your motorcycle inventory is very nice! Thank you once again! read more

Cannot say enough good things about this guy. Bought a bike here (my second) a number of months back and had an amazing experience. When I inquired about the bike he sent me the full price up front, no dealer fees or bullshit like that. Went to look at two of the bikes he had and he was straightforward about the pros and cons of each. Absolutely no pressure to buy. I ended up being super happy with the bike I got. Had such a great experience that I immediately went to him when I got rear-ended a few months later. Again, no bullshit and straightforward about pricing. Got my bike back today and it's running exactly like it did when I first got it. If you want to deal with an honest dude who knows what he's doing, this is the place to come. I will 100% be back if I need any maintenance in the future. read more

I purchased my 1st motorcycle here and I learned a lot in the process. Memories forever. Lyon was very helpful and patient with me. The 2hr drive to the dealership was well worth it. Thanks again and I will see you in the future when I'm ready to buy a 600cc bike. read more

Lyon is the man, man! From service, to sales, and everything in between. Knowledgeable, friendly, and he won't work you over. Go see my boy for all your MC needs. read more

I bought my first bike here after searching with great frustration through Craigslist posts and dealing with dealers having hidden ADMs or playing games with the out the door price. Lyon was very responsive and straight forward when getting the total price of the bike I wanted and setting up an appointment. When I showed up the bike was freshly serviced and ready to go and passed every inspection point I gave it from a fairly substantial list. I've had it a month and a half now and couldn't be happier. This is the place to go for an honest and hassle free experience! read more

Clean shop, nice cool guy, good prices, quick turnaround time, not too far from home, can't complain. Got back into riding 10 months ago, my first time taking my bike in for work, and definitely my new go-to shop for more "complex" work. read more

Came here to get a new front tire for my 2001 Yamaha Fz1. Lyon was a very honest guy when it came to what tire I needed to get. He also did the work on the bike. He did an excellent job, came in and was out in about 30 minutes. Would definitely would go here again if my motorcycle needed anything. read more

This place was very very small, limited, BUT: I purchased my bike here, my friend recommended this place to me. The guy name Lyon seems like a very laid back, and honest guy. He was very straight up and the price he sells his bike seems very reasonable! In fact, we bought two the same day and almost emptied out his inventory. He also was nice enough to offer me a lot of tips since I am a new rider. I ended up with a used Ninja 636! What a sweet ride. I am in love with it! He also offers full service on bikes, guess I will take it there for service! Shop was also very clean and all! read more

Wish there was more selection. The owner is a pretty great guy. He was more then willing to talk with me for nearly an hour about things a first time rider should know even though I was just looking. He is a one man operation and doesn't do engine or trany work. He is a licensed dealer though and offers financing. I will definitely be checking his website on the regular and if I ever need service this would probably be the first place I come to. Industrial park. Won't see the store front from the street. Have to drive in. Small garage/office. read more

I'm very happy with the service and bike I bought at this place. Lyon is a very straightforward, honest guy that will not sell you anything sketchy. He works on the bikes he sells and maintains every bike into perfect working order in his clean, nice shop. The prices/labor are priced good and very fairly. I'm excited about my bike and I will always come here for anything I need. Thank you Lyon ! Made my experience great. I definitely recommend anyone coming here for service or to buy/financing/ a good used bike. read more

I needed my Susuki to be serviced and it had been sitting too long with old gas in the tank. Lyon promised it would be done in a week, no problem and asked that I pay in cash only (that should have been a red flag). I picked it up and it was running but very rough but he told me to just ride it and it would smooth out. This roughness and backfire only got worse so much that it kept stalling and wouldn't run without the choke on. He hadn't drained the tank at all and did minimal carb work to make it run. It was still a mess. He charged way too much for what he actually did. The good news is that I've found a great mechanic elsewhere - who did ALL the work needed and the bike is now running great. read more

There's not enough stars in the world to show how good Lyon at AMC is. From the very beginning Lyon treated me with the utmost respect. He put up with a week long process of me calling and asking dumb questions, I changed my mind three times on what bike I wanted. If you look up professionalism in the dictionary you will find a picture of Lyon! Thank you for making my dream finally come true. read more

Let me start off by saying Lyon is a cool straight forward guy and really easy to do business with.

Amazing service and response quickly. Was looking for a place to service my motorcycle 2 days ago and was able to get an appointment with my tight schedule. Definitely would recommend and I will come here again. Owner is very friendly and supportive. read more

I ride a 2010 ninja 650r or the naked street fighter version er6n, and was looking for a local place to change my tire that has been long overdue. Called and Lyon somehow managed to squeeze me in with his 3 other appointments on Saturday. The business hours mention mon-fri but Lyon will make the exception for you just call and ask! Great service and I'm very satisfied with the tire. I paid 126 for a rear tire change for continentals which is a very very good deal. He sells bikes as well and there's a ton of them in his shop. You can access his website and view the prices. Will most definitely consider selling my bike and getting something from Lyons as a later time. I attached some pictures that show how bad my tires were and all the bikes in his shop! I'll be coming here as long as I ride!! Highly recommend! Great great service. LYon is very knowledgeable! read more

I thought I knew what I wanted. I was in the market for a bike. It had been 8 years since I owned a bike and some things had changed. My twins are now 8 years old and I decided it was my turn to have some fun again. My friend had purchased a 2008 GSXR600 and let me ride it. Needless to say, I fell in love with it instantly. From that point on, all I could think about was HOW CAN I GET ONE??? I started doing my homework. After many weeks of research I was ready to make my purchase. I found one on Cycle Trader or Craigslist, I think. It looked clean, had low miles and it was a great deal. I called and left a message showing interest. I received a call the next day letting me know that he had already sold that bike, but that he had a small shop in Arcadia. He invited me to come look at the other bikes he had in stock, and that is what I did. Upon arriving I met Lyon, the owner of Arcadia Motorcycle Company. This was the best move I could have made. After probably an hour and a half, Lyon talked me out of buying one of his bikes. I asked many questions as did he. He thought that bike might not be the right fit for me. From the info I gave him, he thought a 2007 GSXR750 might be a better fit for me. He didn't have one in stock so he shook my hand and wished me the best of luck. This guy has INTEGRITY written across his forehead. So I modified my internet search, and luckily the next day I found one. I called Lyon, sent him the link and asked him if this seemed like a good deal. He responded with an enthousiastic YES! I quickly purchased the bike and couldn't be happier. I brought it back for Lyon to give it a quick 'Once Over'. It needed new tires and a new chain. He had both in stock and actually at a much lower price than Bert's. He took care of it while I waited. He didn't even get angry with me that I was watching him work and asking him a crapload of questions. Lyon has a new customer for life. I can't say enough about how good my experience was and I could not be happier with my new bike. It's going to take a long time for this smile on my face to fade away. Thanks Lyon!! read more

I found this small dealer from an ad in Craigslist for a particular bike I been looking for, I went to their location in Arcadia city. The place was is rather hidden, there were no sign visible from the main street, had to go around twice and find out their location was inside of an auto shop complex. The place was pretty small but literally full with bikes. All of the bikes were Japanese sport bikes, When I came they had a Yamaha R6, Suzuki Gixxer, and several Kawasaki zx6r most of them in a excellent clean condition. I met Lyon the owner, He was very friendly and polite. He was very informative every time i asked about any particular bike he had. he mentioned all the bikes he own are clean titles,also willing to give the VIN number for me to check. Surprisingly he would tell me straight away what he had done to the bike if he ever done any repair or changes to the bike every time I noticed something from the bike and asked him about it. The nice things is .. since practically he does hands-on work on every bike by himself. he was very knowledgeable about every bike there, did learn a lot from him. Finally there were two bikes I considered, later I told him that I will give it a thought and decide which one I prefer. When I asked about the price, he simply said "price + tax" no BS hidden fees or any BS calculation, hey awesome !! After running the VIN number and make sure it was clean, days later I went back and decided to get the fat zx6r. Again I ask him a million question about the bike and he was patiently answered my questions, must be tough to have me as a customer. Finally the negotiation, it only took 10 minutes max, already had the number that I willing to pay for the bike considering the condition of the bike. After we agree on the price (price + sales tax), he also offered me a service to install the tail lights back as original because I prefer to have a brake lights easily visible (at least for now). A week later he did keep his promise by installing the tail light after i hand him the parts. He also delivered the bike to my place at reasonable fee. been riding the bike now, loving it.. no problem ! got my plates, title and registration within 3 weeks. Would recommend this company !!! buy from a person who loves bikes.. the quality and condition of the bikes are superb ! attention to details services.. read more

Well I can't really add much to what has already been said. This shop is welcoming and feels personal. The owner, Lyon (say Lion) is an upfront guy and will not sell you on anything. But that's not really the point. I went in with a used bike purchased a few weeks ago and had a chain adjustment done. I wanted to check out the shop and become a customer, so I made an appointment for this simple task. Obviously newer to motorcycles, Lyon discussed the bike with me a little, and gave me tips about how to best finish off a chain after cleaning. The great thing is I did not ask for the cleaning and lube, and in fact had done it a couple hundred miles earlier. I came just for an adjustment. I told Lyon this but he cleaned and lubed it, anyway. And not the lazier way as I did with a "grunge brush." He cleaned it with a rag and solvent and just....scrubbed it by hand, essentially. Whatever the case the chain is well adjusted now, and sparkly clean, too. So, that was my experience. He looked over the bike, said it was as well as any, didn't need anything but tires, and I paid him and was on my way. Will be back sooner then later for the tires and will have all other servicing done here, as well. And yes, this place is neat and clean and well kept as has been mentioned. It feels like a shop where one guy works on bikes as simple machines. I am sure much more is involved, but if you leave your bike here you'll have a good feeling it is coming out right. His attitude seems to be "no problem." I don't know the limits of his shop, or if he does not take on certain kinds of work, but for what you see posted at his website, he is good for it. I met a rider outside who has, somewhat interestingly, the exact same make / model bike I ride. Same color, too. It was coming out as I was going in. His has 30,000 miles on it, mine is under 10,000. But this place keeps his up and running, and that's good enough for me. Also good to meet a customer who says this shop is top notch, too. So much I can say about this little shop, but mostly I can say you can trust it, and it's "one man show." He greets you, takes your bike, fixes your bike, and writes up your receipt. Start to finish, ride away happy and safe and on the road with confidence. read more
