HUGE selection of used motorcycles in all price ranges, and organized so you can easily find and compare different models. What I really loved is that they genuinely seemed passionate about motorcycles and helping me find the right fit. If you're looking for a bike in the Twin Cities, especially if you're newer to riding or want a more chill buying experience, I'd definitely recommend checking them out.

We purchased a bike for $12,000 on 7/24/26 thinking it was a turnkey and road ready bike. We were…read moretold all bikes go through an inspection prior to going on the sales floor. After purchasing the bike we were told it would go through final inspection prior to us picking it up on the 28th. When we got it home the problems started. The bike wouldn't start, clutch issues, windshield not on properly, headlight cover missing, and aftermarket wiring for lights. My husband contacted Steve Bauer who we purchased the bike from who told us we needed to talk to the service department. We contacted Shane in service and told him of the issues and were told to bring it back in. When we took it back Shane he then told us that the bike had never gone through inspection because they were short on tech's. Shane also stated that there is a color system yellow tag goes on every bike with price, green dot on those that have passed inspection and red dot for those that didn't pass inspection. Yellow tag with no dot has never been inspected. We were sold a bike that never went through inspection. We were NEVER informed by Steve Bauer in sales that our bike had never been inspected or looked at prior to purchase. Then Shane told us "sometimes the salesmen forget to mention that". Seems like a big thing to "forget" to mention. Now our bike has been in the shop on "priority" more than it has been in our garage or ridden. When we called to check on the status it still hasn't been looked at because the "tech is out". Priority doesn't mean the same to them obviously. Here we sit watching riding season go by without our bike. We've been told so many things that we no longer trust their word or work. At this point we don't even want this bike. We are requesting our money back or an exchange for another bike that is road ready with no mechanical issues.

He got it started and I brought it home.on Wednesday I pulled the type of the first bike and there was a puddle of gas underneath the on my brand new asphalt driveway.I went back and ask what they had done to my bike if thy taken off the tanks or just disconnected the lines to drain the bike. They said they didn't take off any lines or the tank. so one of two things happened. First they didn't drain the gas after the winner. or they messed something up and are trying to hide from the responsibility of that. Sorta funny though I drop the bike off with a full tank of gas. And when I picked it up it was empty. If it would leaked out over winner they would have seen a spot underneath the bike.I take great pride in my motorcycles as I'm sure you do too. I know every little piece of my bike and if there would have been a problem with gas leakage I would have known.I would not recommend them after their reorganizing of employees. I wouldn't let them touch my bike ever again. Either they don't know what they're doing or they do they mess up and don't take responsibility. I could go on and on buy from 1 biker to another save yourself and find a different shop. Mike hendrickson.

We brought it into Empire & they did a bang up job. Bike now runs so smoothly, feels like it's brand new. I will say, this is a BUSY place! Take that as a good sign. There is a reason for that. The prices here are reasonable and the service is personal. The shop has a small town feel & they repair all types of bikes, new and old. I was really happy with the repairs they made, the cost & the service. I also love that they line up the bikes that are ready to be picked up on the main street in Loretto. Such a cool shop with a great vibe, definitely check them out if you need bike repairs.
