    New tires, suspension work and brakes!
    Nicki S.

    Matt is extremely knowledgeable and a true professional. I took my 1960 R60 to his shop after looking around for a while. The bike needed everything. He handled the brakes, tires, carbs, wiring, engine rebuild, clutch, seat and more!! I've never met a more thorough mechanic in my life. Also the price was extremely fair. He also took care of my friends motorcycle with his amazing COVID procedure. Matt arranged for both pick up and drop off. Needless to say if you own an airhead BMW this is the only shop I would recommend.

    This is Matt's beautiful work on my 1966 BMW R50/2. One kick start and runs like a champ.

    Here's the deal. Despite his youthful appearance, Matt Gagne knows his machines. I'm not surprised to learn he was an engineer for Porsche Motorsports for 8 years. He brings that reputation for excellence and attention to detail to restoring, diagnosing, and repairing your vintage BMW. In a world where everyone is getting their hustle on at the expense of your pocket book, Matt is a refreshing, no nonsense kind of guy who is straight up and tells it like it is. You'll get the best deal for parts and labor from this independent shop which is quickly making its mark as the go to place for vintage BMWs. Note: His popularity is making it difficult to get your bike in, so call ahead and make an appointment.

    Matt at Black Kat did a great job on fixing my wrecked 1973 R75/5. It needed a whole new headlight bucket and speedo rewired as well as new valve covers and push rod seals, a battery and new tires. He did an amazing job and she's running beautifully. These guys know Beemers. I wouldn't trust anyone else. I wish I would have found them sooner. Would have saved me a lot of headache. He has lots of great vintage parts as well. Thumbs up

    Thanks for getting my R75 purring again Matt!

    Matt took in my 1972 BMW R75, and within an hour analyzed some of the specific things that needed attention, to get my bike running great again. He was extremely thorough in explaining the diagnosis, and a breakdown of cost and labor. I was only without the bike for two days. The price for parts and labor was very reasonable. I will only be taking my BMW to Matt & Black Cat Motorwerks from now on.

    Took my 72R-75/5 to Black Kat Motorwerks and the difference in the performance of my bike is like night and day! Matt is very knowledgeable when it comes to airheads. I highly recommend to all airhead riders to get tuned by Black Kat Motorwerks. Now I am not afraid to own a classic. Looking for a new airhead project . Thank you very much Black Kat Motorwerks (Matt) Edgar Rivera

    Thanks to Matt, Rick and Black Kat, my 1971 R60/5 LIVES!

    matt was able to fit my R60/2 into his busy schedule and get the work done in less time and for less than his original quote.

    Bombay Motorcycle Shop is exactly what you want in a mechanic. They are reliable, honest, and…read moreefficient. They get straight to the issue without wasting your time or inflating the bill, which is rare. Everything is clearly explained, and you can tell they're not trying to upsell you on unnecessary work. They stick to their hours, communicate well, and genuinely focus on solving the problem rather than dragging things out. If you're looking for a shop you can trust, Bombay is a solid choice.

    If I could give them 1,000 stars, I absolutely would!!! I…read morehad neglected my bike for about 2 years, so it wouldn't even start. It had a dead battery, a broken brake, and needed quite a bit of work to get it running again. I finally decided to look for shops to get it fixed and I'm so glad I came here. I ran into some issues trying to get a battery through my warranty, but Bruno went above and beyond to help me. He took the time to make calls and was able to get everything approved and taken care of. Both Bruno and Jonathan were incredibly helpful, professional, and genuinely cared about getting my bike back on the road. The pricing was very reasonable, and what stood out the most was how comfortable they made me feel. As a woman, I've been to other shops where I felt uncomfortable or overlooked, but that was not the case here. They were respectful, honest, and made the whole experience stress free. I Highly recommend this shop, and I'll definitely be coming back!!! Thank you guys again!
