I don't often write reviews, but my experience with CalMoto was nothing short of exceptional and well deserving of a review that reflects that. The owner Mike is the absolute man. This is going to be a long review so if you want the short version here it is. I drove eight hours round-trip to pick up my bike from these guys even though I had closer dealer options and I would do it all over again. Great prices, better people. Now for the longer version. I did some price shopping within about a 4 to 5 hour loop of my home in Reno. There were two reasons I was willing to make the drive down to Livermore for the purchase of my bike. Not only was the price worth the eight hour round-trip, but when I spoke to the owner, Mike on the phone, his service, knowledge, and friendliness was the icing on the cake. When I arrived, I was greeted at the door by name and was immediately taken to my bike to check out before doing any paperwork. Unfortunately, with my timing, I arrived right as KTM's system went down. Mike and two other techs troubleshooted for just over an hour, but the system would not get the bike out of dealer mode. I'm no stranger to technical problems and completely understand that it was out of their hands, but there was no lack of effort from his side. He didn't just say "oh the systems down come back tomorrow, he took the time to trouble shoot it for over an hour until past closing time. KTM's online support is based in Ohio a couple hours ahead of Livermore so unfortunately they were unable to help that evening. Mike said they would have it unlocked first thing in the morning when they got in contact with tech-support and that he would purchase me a hotel room for the night or I had the option to take the bike home with the dealer lock still on it and he would arrange for my local dealer to unlock it. I opted for the second option. I received a call from Mike the next morning letting me know who to ask for at my local dealer because they were expecting me. Mike was also extremely knowledgeable about the bike and gave me a full rundown of the dashboard and effectively answered all of the questions that I had because I was not used to a bike with that much technology on it. read more

Calmoto - Motorcycle Dealers Near Me - Livermore, California

This is an amazing shop. They have high-quality bikes, parts, and apparel. There's a great group here you can tell they really like their job. Arlie is a fantastic salesman. In my opinion he went above and beyond to make my purchase easy and he's still there to answer any questions that I may have. Yes that's correct. Still there after the purchase, that's very important to me Mike the owner is a great guy as well. He actually delivered my bike to Manteca at no charge. These are the personal touches that make a difference. I had a small issue with the service department and I think it was more of a misunderstanding than anything else. Mike is working with me now and I believe we will get this figured out. Definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking for a high-quality machine at a reasonable price thank you Cal Moto for all your help and also for being there with any future problems that may occur Tony ( from Manteca) read more

Calmoto - 2025 Vespa primavera 150cc - Motorcycle Dealers Near Me - Livermore, California

My experience here has been with their service department. You will typically find Jeff working behind the service counter. Jeff is always a pleasure to deal with in person or over the phone. It is usually pretty easy to get in for service, even on short notice. I have never had any issues with my bike after service is completed. It is a bit pricey, but I think that is pretty much anywhere you go these days. However, you get what you pay for here. The sales floor doesn't have the biggest selection of street bikes. They typically have a few BMW GS & RT models on the floor, but you will most likely need to order the bike you want. They do have a large selection of KTM dirt bikes on the sales floor if you're looking to get dirty. They also offer a fairly large selection of riding gear for both street and dirt. When having service performed, there is a waiting room on the sales floor. In there, you will find seating, magazines and coffee by Keurig. They have also some cool historical photos of different riders over the year. If you're looking for a quality BMW service provider, CalMoto is great. read more

Went to the facility a week ago to check out the two 2024 KTM 250 Dukes. Chatted with Arlie Blackshear and decided to ride the white/orange unit. The dealers location provided a great place for test rides, away from serious traffic concerns. I bought the bike and Arlie and other staff folks made it very easy. I really could not think of something they could have done to make things smoother. Very much worth the drive from Santa Cruz County! read more

Asian people are not welcome.The service was extremely poor.Yelling and screaming at me.

Awesome staff. Super helpful. Very nice bike shop. Very happy with the overall experience.

Love this dealership !! My husband purchased K1600 GTL recently. The whole buying experience was very low pressure and enjoyable. Arlie and Huff were a pleasure to work with. They made sure that my husband understood all the bells and whistles of the motorcycle since it had been almost 25 years since he purchased his older BMWs and many perks had been added :) They make you feel like family. Highly recommend shopping here if looking for a motorcycle. They have all types. BMW even came out with a model that looks like a Harley but rides like a BMW. read more

First time ever buying a motorcycle and was dreading going into a dealership, assuming it would be as painful and excruciating as going into a car dealership. Was I wrong!! What a pleasure it was to deal with everyone at CalMoto, especially Arlie Ray who sold me my Vespa! Extremely nice, honest, knowledgeable, and I can truly say it was an amazing experience. Also interacted with Marles in the Service department, Anya in Finance, Mike (the owner) who delivered my Vespa himself, and Jeff in Service. What a great crew!! The entire process from beginning to end was painless, smooth and lighting fast. I can't recommend CaMoto enough; you will have the best experience buying a motorcycle there. read more

Calmoto - Vespa GTS Super 300 - Motorcycle Dealers Near Me - Livermore, California

Calmoto in Livermore has a lot to learn about the customer service side of business. I pulled up at 547 pm tonight and they closed at 6 pm. I was looking for a BMW bike for my son and man walked out screaming at me that this is not casino parking( note 580 Casino is next door). I couldn't hear him and said excuse me?? He was unbelievably rude and I will NEVER aspens $1 with them. I don't gamble but I moved my car because if I stayed things would have escalated. Learn how to talk to people-!!! I'll spend my money at Harley Davidson- it's not my fault your Business shares a building with a casino- LEARN MANNERS!! read more

I just bought my first bike from David Y, here at CalMoto. As a novice, I didn't feel a single bit of uncertainty or regret walking in or out of the store. David asked me very specific questions about what I wanted and was looking into, and then helped me make that happen. Not once did I feel like I was being oversold or pitched at. I did my test drive and it simply came down to what I thought and felt. Mike helped with finishing touches on the purchase and I couldn't have asked for an easier process. Thanks CalMoto for making my experience and getting onto the bike I really wanted! read more

Calmoto - KTM 890 Duke, black - Motorcycle Dealers Near Me - Livermore, California

I am a very simple and straightforward customer and this was my exact experience at CalMoto Livermore with the purchase of my 2022 BMW R1250GS Adventure, simple and straightforward. David in sales expertly presented my options with my new bike and keep me informed as to the progress and timeline of the delivery of my new bike. Mike assisted with the purchase and financing making it super easy to simply ride my bike away once delivered. Jeff in the service department has assisted me with service and takes the time to explain what I should expect while in for service. The CalMoto Team presents a feeling of service and trust. I am recommending you check them out if your search for BMW/KTM dealer brought you here. read more

No wonder these guys have good ratings. I didn't even check the reviews prior to the visit and already felt that the service quality is above and beyond from the phone conversation. Arlie contacted me right next day after the initial quote request online and the numbers was given straightforward without any unnecessary waste of time negotiation. I applied finance online and was approved before I visit the next day and the whole process from the paperwork to drive off the lot was AMAZING! The dealership owner gave me info on many programs that this particular dealership was offering for their customers and handed me gifts that was useful. Finance lady was the owner's spouse and she was very nice and not pushy with any additional offers. In general, everyone worked here seemed to be known each other for a long time and very knowledgeable at the same time being kind and respectable to their customer. If I ever shop for another BMW or KTM motorcycle in the future, I wouldn't even bother to check any other dealership. I purchased 2022 S1000RR M Package and it's awesome as the staff here. =) read more

After calling around to multiple dealerships I ended up purchasing a motorcycle from Cal Moto. I drove three hours to purchase the bike but it was worth it. I was able to purchase the bike I was looking for at a competitive price! I had a great buying experience. The staff that helped me were friendly and easy to work with. Thank you Cal Moto! read more

Calmoto - Motorcycle Dealers Near Me - Livermore, California

I had my first experience here which concluded a few days ago. I worked with Jeff in service (awesome), briefly with Mike the owner (very nice guy) and Arlie Ray in sales (all-star). I ended up getting cold feet and not buying a new bike, but wanted to say a few words about my experience: I brought in my elderly R 1200 GS for service. Jeff was friendly, honest, knowledgeable, and just the kind of service advisor you genuinely trust. Had a terrific experience with him! I went inside to see about trading in the bike I had just serviced. I met Mike, the owner, and the guy was not only cool, but low pressure and very accommodating. Again, the kind of guy that clearly actually cares about the customer! Mike introduced me to a salesperson; Arlie Ray. I generally don't get along with salespeople. I don't like being pressured. That said, I sincerely doubt anyone who has met Arlie Ray has ever had a problem with him. Very cool, very funny, very interesting, low pressure guy. He clearly was more concerned with me getting the right ride than making a sale. He also gave my pup a bowl of water without being asked, which was pretty cool! Like I said, I ended up getting cold feet and decided to keep what I have, but when those feet warm up I will go straight to CalMoto for my next bike. We have a lot of places to choose from in the Bay Area but I would suggest starting here. It's nice to be treated with respect! Nice job, and thank you to your team! read more

On 2/3/22 @2pm I rode up on my Vespa to check out the new R18. Walked in on the KTM side and saw two salesman's sitting at their desk on their computers. I walked around and checked out the KTM's and the 1 Vespa. I then walked over to the BMW side of the house and spent another 10 minutes looking at the multiple R18's that were in stock. Saw several staff members talking near the parts area also. All together in the store 15-20 minutes and not one person came up and ask if I needed any assistance or anything. I guess whatever was on their computers was more pressing. I own six other motorcycles and was interested in the new R18 too. Interesting way to do business. Time for me to head over to another dealer. By the way, the service dept is great having service my Triumph & Vespa there multiple times. read more

I ordered set of paniers for my BMW F900XR from Calmoto Livermore. It took some time to arrive and was informed at arrival to be installed by owner as a fairly standard process. I picked delivery and tried to install myself but found the parts were incorrect. I informed dealership about issues with install and was clarified it is simple process and ended up retrying another time to which dealership agreed to take a look. I brought paniers and bike to dealership but after an hour of struggle, their technician accepted the parts for installation were older model parts and incorrect for this model. New parts were identified and ordered and took time to arrive. upon arrival few weeks later, I was called to install, we fixed the new paniers but the assembly looked Loosey-Goosey as after few attempts of tightening and re-tightening the paniers were little loose to my attempt to move them around. Anyway, I accepted the way this was and was asked to pay for parts that were ordered. I resisted but was told by owner itself that there was nothing that can be done. this is how everyone pays for their additional parts even though it was BMW parts/order/shipping mistake but they would not take the tab for it. Labor/Cost was adjusted half with me which was still over $100 for basic plastic pieces which would cost 5 bucks if available online. I paid for it and went for first long ride over weekend in rain. during this trip one pannier started to leak in rain water and soaked my clothes and bag entirely. There was 3 inches of water inside the panier. I brought it back to dealership as they said they would fix it first. then they called and said it was not repairable and were going to order a replacement for it. I requested to return it as there were so many issues with it and took so much time for basic assembly. so asked Calmoto very firmly to return this as I dont think it is a good product and parts were flimsy and after so many issues. It took a while to get a reply back, I received the call from owner to pick up new panier as return was not acceptable to owner. I requested in that case a price break. Between Calmoto and BMW this should be addressed as there were multiple levels of issues with this established product and parts and was not acceptable at the cost of what i paid for this. Total cost to me was around 1500. Paniers are still with Calmoto and i have received no additional contact or info on this. Paniers were ordered in 2023 and its going to be year soon and paniers have been with Calmoto all of this time. additionally, i ordered 2nd set of keys for my bike and was faced with similar issues with key delivered late and with issues that it was not programmed and would not work. I picked up key on way back from office (out of way) and it turned out that it was not programmed and had to bring it back and leave it for few weeks. My resolution would be to return this or further discount this because of substandard product, parts and installation experience. read more

Been shopping for parts and accessories at Cal Moto for many years now, but have never bought a new motorcycle (in my life, actually). I've always liked the shop and the people here (I've later learned it's a family biz and the employees have mostly all been here for many, many years). They always have had a great selection of parts, accessories, helmets, Klim gear, BMW gear to choose from and browse. Of course 'browsing' all the wonderful BMW's and KTM's is fun too. All the folks here are real helpful and are all truly avid motorcyclist's. Also, once you are customer of ANY KIND (including parts), you are offered to tag along on their monthly "shop rides" which are a glorious day of riding with like minded owners and are always safely put together with riding to fun lunch locations or other interesting places around the greater Bay Area. Anyway, I decided it was time to purchase a new BMW R1250GS and began speaking with their "Adventure Agent," Arlie Ray, about locating one. When we found availability was limited, I dropped down a deposit and ordered just the one I wanted, configured like I wanted (why make compromises on a purchase this large, anyway?). Working with Arlie was really a pleasure while waiting for the factory to accept the order, then eventually moving it into production. Arlie kept me posted on progress and even provided information about the cargo once the bike left the factory. I was able to track the progress as it was loaded onto a ship, arrived on east coast, and eventually loaded to be delivered to California. Lots of fun and kept me busy while thinking about my new bike. While waiting the long time to receive my semi-custom built bike, I would stop in the shop and talk motorcycles with Arlie Ray, David (other sales) and the rest of the team, including the owners Mike and Anya. They were always friendly and truly demonstrated excitement with me for the eventual delivery of my BMW. When the bike arrived, I sat down with Anya and we did the paperwork just as discussed several months prior. No games, no add ons, no BS. Just straight up honesty and right to the deal. OVERALL GREAT EXPERIENCE DEPOSIT TO DELIVERY. Highly recommend this group. Don't hesitate to buy from them. Great people (most importantly) and you can tell they care about their customer's experiences. read more

Ordered fairing for damaged bike. Never gave me any information on status of order and even whether the fairing was available. After waiting 8 weeks for repair, I decided to cancel the fairing order and take the damaged fairing to a custom painter. When I picked up repaired bike without the fairing the bill included a fairing. They told me the fairing arrived. The refused to provide a full refund and charged me shipping and deducted 25% for a restocking fee which was never disclosed to me. My attorney is pursuing legal action to recover all monies due. Avoid doing business at this place. read more

As a returning rider I ordered a KTM Duke 890 R last year from Ken who had great communication and made the sales side a breeze. When the bike was delivered to my residence in Modesto I took it out for a spin and the clutch cable was very loose and wouldn't fully disengage, not sure if it was inspected prior to delivery. During my initial break in period it was clear that I was going to need the KTM lowering kit installed, however, I was advised that the shop cannot complete the work as they do not carry nitrogen. Found that interesting, so they referred me to Unlimited Motorsports in Livermore to complete the job and they gave them a good reference. After waiting almost 6 weeks for completion I picked up the bike and trailered it back to Modesto...glad I did. The bikes rake and trail was offset resulting in a dangerous wobble, misaligned fork compression adjuster, rear shock rebound adjuster set to the wrong side, including numerous nicks, and scratches throughout. Botched work to say the least. Had to reach out to a suspension tuning expert and take it to a local dealership to have the rear shock rebound adjuster flipped over. Come to find out they're not a WP authorized suspension center, so not sure why I was referred there in the first place. Cal Moto will never earn my business again. Very disappointing. read more

We had a great experience working with CalMoto Livermore. My husband recently purchased a (basically) new bike from them at an amazing price. The price was already really great, and they even brought it down a bit more when the purchase was being finalized. We worked with Arlie, and not only is he like crazy knowledgeable about bikes, he was so friendly and patient. We brought our 2 year old daughter with us the two times we visited and he was so kind to her and even let us have some crackers to feed the dog that hangs around there! Arlie never got frustrated or short with us, even when my husband had a lot of questions. My husband was allowed a looonng test ride, like almost too long, so this was another really cool feature about this place. Arlie spent about 20-30 minutes explaining everything about the bike before my husband was able to ride off into the sunset I think he feels great about the prospect of having to go back here for any problems with the bike, since we are fairly certain we'd continue to be treated with respect and patience. As a side note, there's a huge parking lot here, no problems finding parking, especially during COVID times. It's also right down the freeway from a huge shopping center with great food options! read more

Calmoto - My husband as happy as he could be with his new bike. Thanks Arlie! - Motorcycle Dealers Near Me - Livermore, California

I'm totally pleased with the outcome and ongoing relationship between my family and CalMoto. The service manager - Jeff worked with me every step of the way (including the owner of the business). I have a S 1000 RR (2016) with a major engine failure. I was without my bike for 3 months. I'll keep this short because it will do no justice for deep appreciation in trusting CalMoto of Livermore in resurrecting the RR, and putting me back on my bike. I made the right choice and owning up to the fact that the S 1000 RR straight up race replica and that's hands down. There's a commitment that I was faced with and needed to embrace... 1). put $$$ into S 1000 RR fund. 2). S 1000 RR 2015/16, 17, and 2018 is 4th Generation and gettin extended warranty on a 2018 may be the best option (the earlier years call the dealership and or BMW Corp USA). 3). the motor has very expensive$$$, and ultra lightweight parts. Always keep that in the fun factor (race replicas). 4). If you're thinking of possibly upgrading talk to your dealer about mileage. ok - I'm keeping my S 1000 RR, and I have made a commitment, because I really like what I experienced at CalMoto of Livermore read more

Will never deal with this shop again. Pete Furman was the worst experience I have ever had from a employee of any shop. Arrogant and obnoxious to say the least. Trust me go elsewhere for your BMW needs. read more

been having my bike serviced here for 3 years, i have spent thousands of dollars here. Jeff the service manager has made it more than clear that I am a nobody and to busy to give a damn about even caring that after finally picking my bike up after over 10k in repairs sent me off on my bike with no back brakes at all. He just stared at me blankly like he had never met me before after returning to have the brakes fixed. I potentially could have spent much more money there, I am looking at new bikes and the service department is a definite deal breaker for me. I will be taking all of my business somewhere else as of today. My original review stands because Ken was the reason I brought my new bike to be serviced there in the first place. Jeff could learn something from him but he won't because he has checked out, he doesn't care period. Now that I have that off my chest I can move on. Safe riding to you, sincerely Tommy read more

There's a weird down vibe happening when you walk in there. The lights are down low, sales people aren't looking to greet customers and don't like to make eye or when they do it's a bit of an interview instead of "how are you today, my name is ____". The Parts counter also won't look up from their computer to say hi. It's as if they have something far more important than a live customer in front of them. My boyfriend was interested in service and said the guy wanted him to just bring the bike in and talking over him instead of listening to what he wanted done and scheduling a mechanic on a specific day. Then they wanted a week or two with his bike. read more

I couldn't be happier with the level of service I received from Ken Snyder at CalMoto.

Calmoto - My new R9T w/ option 719. - Motorcycle Dealers Near Me - Livermore, California

I never thought I'd have to deal with these people again, But I digress. I think what Michael, the owner doesn't get is that Bill is the problem there. Even after seeing all the posts about the used car salesman attitude at a moto shop BMW that's supposed to be friendly and welcoming to all riders, but this place is not. It's just a shame because in the wealthy tri valley, people want a good reliable BMW/ktm dealer and sadly Michael allows his dealership to be run this way. I had a BMW rep call me about the posts here on Yelp and Cal-Moto and I told them that BMW North America, a man named Derek replaced my bike, NOT MICHAEL. I had to threaten filing a lemon law case against them and they asked me not to so they could fix the bike and use it as a demo bike. Just the fact that they'd take a bike that was marked for the lemon law and use it as a demo means they probably resold it via auction and someone now has the bike and it's issues. I've now purchased 7 BMW motorcycles and I believe 2 or 3 came from this place. Simply because of Bill I will never shop there again and I highly encourage going to another location to get your bike. read more

Just purchased a new KTM here and my experience was exceptional. I submitted an online quote request and Ken contacted me within 30 minutes. He was friendly, knowledgeable and made me feel like he wanted my business. I could have purchased at my local dealer 15 minutes away, instead I drove an hour away only because of the way i was treated by Ken. Everything was negotiated via email and phone, when I arrived there were no suprise and I was in and out quickly with a beautiful new bike. Parts department hooked me up with a few things I needed, they were great as well. Thanks to the team at Cal Moto for taking care of me. I will definitely recommend to friends and family! read more

Calmoto - Love my new KTM! - Motorcycle Dealers Near Me - Livermore, California

My husband is the avid bike commuter, living in the SoCal/LA region. And he'd been looking quite sometime for "the" bike. He found it, a 2009 BMW K1300S, in the Lava Orange Metallic, with low mileage, and even some performance pieces, sitting on the floor here at CalMoto. Several telephone calls were exchanged between my husband and Rene, who was more than helpful and this made an excellent case for continuing to do business with them. Rene was true to his word, chasing down requested information and returning calls. But we couldn't fairly make a decision until we actually saw the bike and gave it a test. So we left early for a 6+ hour-one-way drive to Livermore to take a look. It was/is a beautiful bike, in terrific condition. Rene greeted us on arrival, and left us to look around, no pressure. He was available for any and all questions we had about the bike, and Bill was able to discuss with us at length the history of the bike and its care (the previous owner had bought it through them, and had traded it in on a subsequent bike). Needless, a test ride followed, and sealed the deal. When the bike was finalizing prep for sale, we noticed that the tire pressure lamp came on, and were assured that it was not a problem. We were hauling the bike back home in our dually truck, so the guys helped push it up ramps and strap it in. Safe and secure, we headed back south another 6 hours. Upon arrival, we unloaded the bike and gave it a start. The electronics still had not settled down, indicating tire pressure still off and fuel levels wrong. A phone call to Rene was made, to discuss possibilities and a follow-up appointment with our local Irv Seaver's BMW was made to evaluate the problem. It boiled down to a bad battery, which was everyone's initial thought. After the trip to Seaver's, who worked me into their schedule to address the issue, with only a days' notice due to an upcoming business trip, CalMoto reimbursed us for the cost of the battery. Their opinion was that we were to have bought a working bike, and the new battery would assure that condition. Since then, we have had no issues with the bike. We were extremely pleased with our entire purchasing experience with CalMoto. Rene and Bill were extremely helpful. (The pups were completely enthralled with the raccoon tail on my bag, and loved it when we shared our pretzels with them!). Would we return to CalMoto? Definitely. Do we recommend them? Highly. read more

One of the best customer experiences I've had hand down in my life! I came to check out the KTM superduke 1290 and while the power delivery of the V twin wasn't exactly what I was looking for. They were incredibly accommodating and trying to assist me with Finding a bike that fit my needs. The service I received from Ken at the dealership as well as the additional support provided by Matt the sales manager exceeded any expectations I could have had. Overall amazing experience and even though I didn't walk away with a bike anyone who's interested in a KTM BMW product I would highly recommend this dealership! read more

Let's start by saying thank you so much Rene. He is very professional and very very knowledgeable. He is an experienced rider and really helped me to find the right bike. I bought a new ktm duke even though I came for a bmw and after riding both I fell in love with the duke. Rene made the whole process super easy. Bill is the manager and he also was professional and like Rene passionate riding and both gave me many good tips as I'm not very experienced. I highly recommend calmoto whether it's for purchasing a new motorcycle or parts and accessories and also service. Highly recommended. Glad I chose calmoto. Thank you again Rene and Bill. read more

These guys started out as a 5 star shop then quickly fell from there. I am tempted to give a1 star but since it was their demo bikes that I rode to make my final decision I give the 2 star. Stopped by to demo a few bikes. Rene was there to help and let me on my way to demo the bikes. Made my decision and dropped a deposit on a bike that was suppose to land in a couple weeks. Couple weeks go by and no word. Had to start being very proactive on getting any update. After lack of response I took my search out to the bay area and found a shop that not only had the bike I wanted but at a significantly lower cost and they were willing to negotiate even further. Rene and Cal Moto were not willing to negotiate on price (I guess they have the market for the east bay for those who don't want to venture to the peninsula). In the end I never heard back on the bike coming in, never got a call back to refund my deposit and had to do a charge back on my account. In the end it was good as I got the bike sooner and about $1500 less than I was willing to spend at Cal Moto and tossed on a set of 50/50 tires for me free of charge. Its too bad as Cal Moto had the sale but lost it due to bad follow up. read more

Started out as a great experience. Quickly went downhill. Came here looking to purchase three Triumphs. Spoke with the sales manager who gave me a solid price for all three. This is important. When the manager says the price of the bike is $8,000 (without tax, license, reg), then that should be the price. When it came down to buying the bikes they decided to finally mention the "fees". I understand there are fees. And not all of them are BS. However, we agreed on a price, and then when it was time for paperwork, they said, "oh yeah, I forgot to mention almost 2k in fees". They'll do what they can to get you in the door and then when you've done your credit check they'll quietly and quickly mention the fees. Deceitful. We ended up getting the bikes elsewhere for a better price (a price CalMoto said would be impossible to attain). Moral of the story: WATCH YOUR OUT THE DOOR PRICE with these slick salesmen. They'll show you a cheap price but slap on thousands in fees. It's downright deceitful. I was emailing Rene about the price of the bikes when i guess he just didn't want to talk with me anymore because he wouldn't respond to my emails. That's just bad customer service. These guys are sketchy salesmen. The kind you want to avoid. They were deliberately deceitful and had an bad attitude when I politely questioned them about the never-before-mentioned fees. That's a red flag right there. Bad customer service, rude, horrible follow up, easily beatable prices. Don't waste your time. Ended up going to ACE Motorsports in concord/walnut creek. They were up front and honest about prices/fees and easily beat CalMoto's prices on all three bikes by a more than decent margin. read more
