I have a 2018 RINET that had an unfortunate event, cracking the right cylinder to the point it literally would make my jeans soaked. Not a daily. I paid a good price, tried to replace the cylinder myself and it worked for a month. Depressing. I found Ben online, w fairly specific requests that many mechanics would refuse. Nothing outrageous, and I think it reflected his confidence in BMW boxer motors, even a more modern four year old one. "It's the same engine, more or less". For some reason, I was sold on that. I had seen the engine apart, and I had to agree. I brought the bike not running, repaired ineffectively by me. He helped guide me which parts he thought were important...which took a few weeks. BMW parts are SLOW if they're not in the states. "A 2018 RNINET CYLINDER? Let me check mother Germany." Three months ....Anyhooo....Ben is smart as a tack, personable and a born teacher. He loves these bikes and understands them. I gave him every bit of information I had for the bike....LOTS. I think he opened it up once for torques. One of THOSE guys. I know, he graciously allowed me to WATCH him work and help when I could. I wouldn't count on it, but very generous act. He also allowed my dead bike to sit in his garage waiting for Berliner's get their shit together. I can't remember if I paid him a little extra sunthin sumthin, for the pain...but it wasn't from his suggestion if I did. Ben doesn't seem like that kinda guy. Bike fired up, and has been settling over the last several thousand miles. I love my bike. BMW always told me..."don't replace the cylinder, it won't ever be the same." That's easy for them to say. I don't know if it's the same or not as I've done little to the bike. Scrape a baby possum off my face plate...but that's my head. I paid under 4 grand for the bike. Under one for the repair? Might drag little at 2k in first gear coming out of driveway....wtf do I want? I drove a 1100 cc NINJA when I was a kid. This is much classier and I don't have paper plates at the little car show around these parts. My bike looks used but imagine a beautiful woman waking up in your bed, for no reason determined, she looks as hungover as you feel not perfect but just RIGHT...smells amazing...stays the after noon...maybe even dinner again when she orders Vietnamese food you didn't know existed. Nobody complained. I couldn't prove the bike is slower pre or post accident and repair even I wanted to. I've pushed 120 mph easy. Ben is not a bullshitter. He speaks in a manner that suggests he's thoughtful of what comes out of his mouth but has a sense of humor too that spurts out. HE GENUINELY WANTS TO DO A GOOD JOB. He's willing to ask himself questions and make moves that others may not. But he won't do it without asking YOU FIRST. After three thousand miles I'm perfectly happy. read more

Ben’s Classic Bikes - Tonight October 4th 2022 after replacing cracked oil filter and oil change after dropping off a ridge five feet down... - Motorcycle Repair Near Me - Austin, Texas

Ben replaced my clutch plates and added some accessories (bar end mirrors, bar riser and shorty levers) to my 2006 Ducati Monster. He is professional and fast with excellent communication along the process. I'm thankful that I now have a mechanic for my Ducati that I like, know and trust! read more

Ben's service is far better than service anywhere else! Ben and his crew are very knowledgeable and passionate about their work. Ben was able to give me an estimate on my non-functioning (Yamaha v-star 2009) bike based on what I suspected was wrong and was accurate! Other places try to entrap the customer in my situation... They expect you to tow your bike to their shop, they don't give you estimates beforehand, and they charge a diagnostic fee for their estimates before they even begin making repairs! My bike had been idle for many years and needed a new rear tire amongst many other cleanings and replacements. Ben also offers his own towing service for a reasonable price! For $700. All of the repairs were made, all services were offered, and my bike is ridable again! Thank you Ben for being an example of how a mechanic, should conduct business! read more

Ben is an amazing mechanic, he went over and beyond in assisting us with repairs on our Harley Sportster. He took the time to call and text us daily with updates on her repairs and gave us plenty of options. My husband is a Diesel Mechanic but doesn't work in Motorcycles, so it was great to find someone who has the passion at what he does like my husband. Ben takes pride in his job and it shows. He even followed up with us a few days after we got her back to check on how she was riding. Not all mechanics go the extra step but Ben does. So please if this review helps you won't be disappointed he does excellent work. Definitely going back to him for all our motorcycle repairs. read more

Highly recommended! Ben's passion, knowledge and experience working on bikes ensured my 2003 HD Fatboy got up and running again. He sourced the replacement parts and suppliers to re-line the gas tank at a fraction of the cost the dealership quoted. Throughout the time my bike was with Ben he sent regular pics, texts and videos with updates, giving me the peace of mind my bike was getting the attention it needed. Great job! read more
