I recently brought my Kawasaki Z650RS to Malcolm Smith Motorsports for service, and I had a great experience. Sean McDonald and the service department were professional, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the process. The service was completed as promised, and the motorcycle rides smoothly. I also had a Quad Lock USB charger installed, and the installation was clean and professionally routed with excellent attention to detail. The wiring and cable management look factory-installed. I appreciated that they took the time to answer my questions about the service and chain adjustment, and communication was prompt throughout the process. I'm very pleased with the quality of the workmanship and customer service I've received so far. Thank you to Sean and the Malcolm Smith Motorsports service team for taking good care of my motorcycle. read more

The location has a variety of motor sports necessities and vehicles. Areas of kudos: 1. The Parts personnel are nice and helpful. I was able to find my items fast and a a good price. 2. The front counter personnel was friendly, prompt and has a service with a smile. Area of recommendations for improvements: 1. Customer service (internal and external): I witnessed multiple times in 15 minutes of the service personnel speaking ill of Parts personnel (input of information on an account, credit to a certain personnel for the purchase). Also when wanting to pay, the whole going to the counter to pick out parts and then to the front for payment then back to the counter to receive your parts is so inconvenient. The Services personnel are condensing and short with customers. When asking a questions it feels like you are being reprimanded. 2. Price tags: cost of items was a guessing game. read more

If I could give 2.5 starts I would. I'm only saying this because I was upset with their customer service and the way they make you feel. I cannot comment on their products or vehicles since I didn't not purchase any. But here is my reason why. My experience at Malcolm Smith Motorsports was frustrating and off-putting. From the moment my husband and I arrived, we didn't feel like a priority. While we were walking around the store, we weren't greeted at all. We started in the clothing section, then moved to the parts department, but after telling them we weren't looking for parts, no one seemed interested in assisting us further. When we finally found the bike we were interested in, my husband stepped away to use the restroom, and during that time, I was completely ignored. I was already in front of the bike, mentally prepared to make a purchase, but no one approached me. This felt strange, especially since we had already done our homework, including getting a solid offer from a dealership in Bakersfield. We hoped that Malcolm Smith would try to work with us to match the price. When my husband returned, the first salesperson finally approached us. However, it was clear we weren't their priority; it felt like they were more interested in catering to my husband (even though I was the one purchasing). We laid out exactly what we wanted: we were looking to get the bike out the door for $7,800, which was the price Bakersfield had offered. We weren't trying to haggle or waste anyone's time. The salesman seemed fine, but it was the manager who really turned us off. He came across with a "we're not going to work with these people" attitude, trying to scare us by questioning whether Bakersfield's offer was even legitimate. He even claimed to have checked their stock, implying they didn't have the bike we wanted. Instead of offering any potential flexibility or alternatives, it felt like he was trying to intimidate us into walking away. At that point, we decided we wouldn't be coming back to Malcolm Smith. While they did manage to scare us a little, it only reinforced the idea that we'd rather spend our money at a place that values us as customers. We called the Bakersfield dealership, got the offer in writing, and set off to make the purchase. On the way, I also reached out to Mountain Motorsports in Ontario. Adam there was helpful and offered me a competitive deal, even acknowledging that Bakersfield had a great offer. Ultimately, though, we had already made up our minds, but I really appreciated the honesty and no-pressure attitude from Adam. In the end, we went with Fred Cummings Motorsports in Bakersfield, and I'm so glad we did. Oyuki was amazing to work with--no hassle, no pressure, just a straightforward deal. I got the bike at the price they promised, and though I added some extra gear, I felt completely satisfied with the entire experience. I cannot recommend Malcolm Smith Motorsports. If you're looking for a place that respects your time, gives you honest offers, and doesn't try to pressure you, I suggest checking out other dealerships like Fred Cummings or Mountain Motorsports. read more

I want to specifically recognize Brian and the technicians who worked on our Can-Am. After a difficult situation with the machine, Brian stepped in, took ownership of the issue, and made sure everything was handled properly. He was professional, responsive, and kept us informed throughout the entire process. The Can-Am ultimately received a complete engine and turbo replacement, and the technicians did an excellent job with the repair. The machine is running great, and the quality of the work has given us confidence in taking it back out on the trails. Brian followed through on everything he said he would do and made sure the situation was resolved the right way. Thank you to Brian and the technicians who worked on the machine for standing behind the repair and getting our Can-Am back in top condition. read more

Don't waste your time. Seriously. They'll click bait you with low advertised prices and then on the back end inflate the destination and markup charges. Disgraceful business practices, and why they will NEVER get one dollar of my hard earned money. read more

Sarah in accessories always makes my son and I feel like family. Always an awesome experience when she is working.

I had been shopping around for a KLX300 for a while and hit a few dealerships before landing at Malcolm Smith Motorsports. What made the difference was Mel. Other spots gave me the bare minimum--rushed convos, short answers, no real effort. Mel was the opposite. He took his time, answered every question, didn't push anything, and clearly knew what he was talking about. That kind of service stands out. I left with the bike I wanted and felt good about the deal--because I made it with someone who actually gave a sh*t. read more

Wish there was a 1/2 of one star!!!! First..... service dept. was professional.... However, when it came time to look at a new bike, the Sales Manager was an asshole! He actually told me to my face, we don't need your business, in front of other customers and his employees! I'd never buy anything from this dealer. So many others to take my money with professionalism. That's what I did, found great selection and a professional staff at Del Amo Motorsports. I caution anyone who thinks of buying anything at Malcom. Do your research first. This feedback was LONG OVERDUE. A horrible experience! Good luck, ride safe! read more

I've been dealing with Malcolm Smith for a couple of decades. Multiple motorcycle purchases service, etc. everything is always been great.

Careful when shopping here. Any dealer than won't give a price unless it's on paper is a red flag. All they do is deflection and won't answer any questions about pricing. Not my first rodeo guys and there are plenty of other dealers with no games read more

I came in as a returning customer, but unfortunately, I won't be returning again. I found a bike I liked, and the salesman asked me what price I wanted to pay. I gave him my number, he took it to the manager, and came back with a credit application for me to sign. Naturally, I assumed that meant they were willing to work with my price. They ran my credit, I got approved--but only then did they tell me the manager couldn't do the price I asked for. The counteroffer was so far off from what we discussed that I walked away. If I had known they weren't serious about honoring the negotiation, I never would have agreed to run my credit in the first place. This was especially disappointing because I've bought two bikes and gear from them in the past, and I trusted the dealership based on that history. My advice to anyone going in: don't let your guard down, and make sure you get a clear agreement on the price before they run your credit. read more

A truly PERFECT BUYING EXPERIENCE buying my new bike from Malcolm Smith Motorsports. I have many bikes (8), an experienced rider and enthusiast, and have purchased and dealt with many, many local dealers. I have to say my experience with "Eddy" at Malcolm Smith was perfect. I knew what I wanted, they had the bike, and Eddy and his team made the transaction PERFECT. It was so nice dealing with Eddy and his team, they know bikes and pretty much most of their competition knew nothing about the bikes they sold - they were awesful and cheesy. But not the folks at Malcolm Smith - they were ALL PERFECT! Eddy and his team were pros! Picking up the bike was easy, paperwork, delivery, introdution to every department, all A++++. Eddy thoroughly went over my bike upon delivery, again a perfect experienc!!!! No surprises at signing time, honored our agreement to the penny - easy paperwork, they are pros. Looking for this bike and getting clear and transparent pricing from the other dealers was a nightmare, it really shouldn't be that hard, but Eddy and his entire team from Malcolm Smith Motorsports were PERFECT, A++++ .... I had to drive a little further to this dealership, but it was 110% more than worth it .... I just can't say how NICE, PROFESSIONAL, KNOWLEDGEABLE, EASY, and FRIENDLY EVERYONE was - thanks for a great buying experence, great pricing, and easy delivery. I have 8 bikes and this is a nice new Kawasaki "retro classic" 2026 W 230 ABS added to my colletion and love it. A++++++ buying expereince, 5 Star Dealer, thanks team! read more

Malcom's prices are very competitive and negotiable. They have a huge inventory to select from, including parts and accessories. Cool looking store building too. Ask for "Canada Mike" he's says to work with. read more

Took my 2022 Honda Africa Twin in for its big 16000 mile service. Took a bit longer than expected, but this was due to parts availability and totally good. I got that call I had been dreading.. "unfortunately you bike needs more work, oil leak, coolant leak, fork seal leak". YIKES! Normally I get pessimistic when a service writer upsells a repair, but these guys were good enough to show me photos of the leaking areas. All of these items are your basic must fix now issues. So, I gave the go ahead for the repair, and they got her taken care of. So why a five star review? Simple, these guys were professional and made me feel like they cared about me and my bike. When I first asked for cost of service, they provided a detailed list of the service and line item break down of the service cost. To top it all off, the shop is clean. Nice job Malcolm Smith! read more

I saw a bike that I knew would sell fast! Chip made it happen in no time! Chip and his staff are excellent communicators! I highly recommend these guys!! Thank you again for all of your hard work and being so down to earth! Easy peasy! Hit them up! You will be super happy you did' read more

I bought a bike from Malcom Smith a couple of years ago and needed service. I wanted to have them replace a battery. They tell me they still can't start the bike, even with the battery. They wanted $225 to find the solution and couldn't afford that. I wanted them to tow the bike back, since they couldn't fix it and they wanted me to pay for the battery before they could do that. I said keep it. I now have no transportation. These people are mean, nasty and try to chisel you with no remorse. Go here if you must, but you have been warned. From Gary Daniel Bryant read more

We were on the hunt for a Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 (aka. The Black Arrow) and this was one of 4 dealerships within a 2 hour drive from us. After talking with all the dealerships, this one clearly stood out. Chip, who helped us out, was a guru of all things motorsports and gave us fantastic guidance on the ins and outs of purchasing a bike. He was patient, accommodating, extremely knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. It was clear that he cares about Motorsports and people enjoying their experience on their bike more than the business side of things, which was very refreshing. They are offer very competitive prices and work with each individual to figure out the best fit and best deal. If you're going to buy a bike (or other mechanical beast) you simply MUST go here. You're going to get a fantastic price and establish a relationship with a store that will take care of all your needs following your purchase. The store is family owned and operated and definitely gives off that homey, caring feel. Owned by the motorsports legend (Malcolm Smith), and 3 family members work at the business. It's a well loved store. Next time I'm down in Riverside I look forward to popping in here and checking out all the history and cool merchandise. It's practically a landmark! read more

Needless to say, I am very HAPPY! in the last 3 weeks I have bought 1 bike Gas Gas ES 700 and a Can Am and have another one on order. from the start with Chip to Sam in finance and Valerie in apparel on the 1st run. Then from Madison to Jim in finance and Valerie again in apparel, she killed again! and also, to the awesome lady, who I will soon remember her name by heart, that designed my Can Am! and I cant forget Danny! Thank you!!! read more

My salesperson was Michael Wiebe. Super chill and informative for me. Didn't push me towards any motorcycle specifically and rather explained the pros of each for the context I'd be riding in. There was a sale on my bike, he kept me in the loop after purchase and it was overall a nice experience. read more

Went into Malcom Smith to purchase a Jet Ski. Spoke with a salesman, found a ski. Discussed and agreed on a price, they were not to flexible, however, a price was agreed. A preliminary credit check done, no problem. An agreement was made to take my jet ski in for a trade in price, the next morning, no problem. The trade in was the only thing needed to complete the purchase. I get a call that evening stating that someone had purchased two jet ski's and that the one I was going to purchase was one of them. I asked the young salesman how they can sell the one we had agreed upon. He just said that a person bought 2 skis and mine was no longer available. Of course selling two skis is more money, for the company, and commission for the salesman, never mind integrity and honesty....... Typical business, good talkers but money talks BS walks!!!! read more

I'd take stars away if I could, but can't. Steer clear of Malcolm Motorsports. On May 25th I contacted them to apply for a loan for a Vespa, since they were having their Memorial Day special $600 down and pretty darn good interest rates. They have yet to get back to me. This after sending three applications (or trying), twice via my phone, once on ipad, then finally got the loan application sent through email on my computer. Issues on their end. A week or so later, I contacted Andrei and asked what was taking so long, dead silence. Prior to sending the application he was attentive. This is downright discrimination. However, of what type? Is it my age? Do I not fit into the Vespa driving age in their eyes? Is it my dis-ability? My invisible dis-abilities that have me on SSDI? Shouldn't be since I listed my permanent jewelry welding (among other things) that bring more than enough income. Besides, how could I lease a Prius and 2019 RAV 4 from Toyota back to back with zero down and payments under $400, if I didn't have good credit? My credit is darn near 800, so it can't be that. Is it my gender? Is it because I am a woman of color? Anyone in the market for a Vespa, I would avoid this shallow discriminatory company like the plague. Because of my dis-abilities, I hardly drive, so I thought I'd get a Vespa to scoot around town. They have refused to make that happen, let alone, tell me why. And to think they actually had the exact GTS Vespa 300 in the color red that I wanted. A darn shame, but not for me. I will be contacting the attorney general, and quite possibly an attorney for their blatant discrimination. Patience may be a virtue, however, they no longer deserve my business. Big mistake, huge. read more

Don't do it!!! Go somewhere your business is appreciated! I have spent thousands in this place and they would not abide by their extended policies you purchase. The Finance Manager Sam is rude and disrespectful, night and day from when you are purchasing. Matt their sales manager tells me I don't know what to tell you. He would not get anyone @Alexander since you gave me the wrong email here is my response so everyone is able to see how bad your team is. Hello my name is Michael King and responding back to your response from Yelp. I had a very bad experience with your team given my last purchase with my Jet Ski. Your sales Manager Matt was rude disrespectful and claimed to be the higher level of leadership when I asked to talk to his manager. In addition, your finance manager was similarly disrespectful and rude to me. I have purchased multiple things at your establishment and was treated as if my business was not appreciated and felt unappreciated from your leadership team. I was given the extended warranty for my battery on the Jet Ski as a "military discount " and your sales manager and finance manager claimed that was not the case, so I purchased a battery out of my own pocket. It was about 1-2 days later your finance manager called me and said he "made a mistake" and I do have the warranty. I called your store multiple times to talk the owner and was told multiple reasons I cannot talk to you from your "busy riding, you are not available, and you have no time!" Overall your stores lack of appreciation and professionalism is disappointing to me and makes me not want to purchase anything from your establishment and encourages me to share my experience with other patrons and warn them of your team's management and appreciation or should I say lack of appreciation to the customer. If you are not to busy doing any of the things I listed above that your team stated I would love to have a conversation with you. Best, Michael King read more

Well, I own a 650 Suzuki Bergman scooter max which I'm proud to say it does 130 miles an hour which is quite impressive but the problem I'm having with it I bought it with no miles on it. It's at 77,000 miles now my impeller to the water pump disintegrated on the way coming back from LA Ted garage number 13 replaced the impeller. They said they flushed it and got all the debris out well they did a horrible job. The bike kept overheating. Took it to Malcolm Smith Motorsports they found a lot more debris in the ports. They took the top and off the engine. They charged me $800. I leave Malcolm Smith Motorsports headed home out to Yucaipa on the way there I overheated again but only now it's worse than it was before I took the bike. The guys in the service always make it look like it's my fault or it just happened for some reason out of the blue Well come Tuesday I'm calling him and talking to Sean and explaining my bike's overheating to where my red light turns on, that means it's overheating. You don't wanna ride it anymore past that point you shut it down, so I sit on the side of the freeway until my bike cools down to where I finally can get home. I'll pick up this review after I see what they actually do for me. read more

Apparently, they are inflating their positive reviews through the same IP address. Makes sense now because I bought my XSR 900 and they don't negotiate prices. Don't do your service here. Customer Service is the worst service I've ever experienced. I waited about 15 minutes at the service department with 3 gentlemen ignoring me. One of them had a customer, but still no hello or anything. Don't bother calling either because the front desk will keep transferring you to the service department and no one will pick up. read more

TL : DR If you feel like being lied to, getting ripped off, and paying a $1,300 "assembly fee," shop here. If you don't want to be ripped off, choose another dealership. LONG VERSION: I bought a CRF300l from Malcom Smith about 3 weeks ago. When I first talked to the sales guy, Liam (would make a great politician -- presentable, well-spoken, will give you a big smile as he stabs you in the back), I directly asked what sort of extra fees MS added to the price of the bike. He assured me there would only be the standard freight / doc fees, no extra dealer fees and that MS would price any fees at "cost." He made a big point about this & said they could do it this way as they were a smaller dealership. I thought Malcom Smith seemed like an ethical business so I put down a $500 deposit and waited about 40 days for the bike to get there. I got a call that it arrived so I drove out 1.5 hours to get there. After all this, at the very end of the sale when it came time to sign paperwork, Liam sprung the extra fees on me. The most blatant exorbitant fee was the prep / assembly fee - $1300 - for a few hours work, max, by lower-wage techs. The other fees seemed inflated as well, but I can't be sure. The MSRP for this was $5,250 and the final price was over $8,000... I was given the option: pay the exorbitant fees or go somewhere else and start all over, after waiting 40 days & driving out 1.5hrs. These were some shady sales tactics to line the pockets of the dealership &/or boost the sales commission. I feel like I was lied to and taken advantage of, and instead of being happy with my purchase, I left the dealership feeling angry & swindled. If Liam had just been upfront / honest about everything at the start, I wouldn't be upset about this, and could have used the info to make a choice of where to buy from. But a $1300 assembly fee is definitely not at "cost" as he told me it would be & I would imagine the other fees were inflated as well. The general manager sent a follow up email a couple days later. I replied to him, sharing this experience, and haven't heard anything back since then, a couple weeks ago. Do yourself a favor, save your money, and avoid this place - try to find an ethical business to buy from instead. read more

As you all can see in my wife's previous post I purchased a new KTM duke 200 about 2 months ago. Took a picture and all with Bryan the salesperson in the parking lot. Fast forward to now, I put a short!!!106 miles on the bike and they have had it ever since. Horrible communication on every end BUT mine. I drove 3 hrs to see what the deal was cause nobody was getting back to me,,Well we found out today that there is no end in sight. MALCOLM has NO CLUE when the part will arrive, NO GUARANTEE that it will fix the problem and no deals to extend my warranty even if it takes 6 months I'm still liable to make monthly payments on a bike I can't ride possibly all summer that was supposed to be RTR and is currently sitting back at there shop and well....shit it'll be winter by then. So with the summer already here and no bike to ride for over a month already (cause who knows when they will get the part in) Service department told me I should buy the part on EBay and do it myself????!!! WTF yeah he got fired. I head back to MSM with my wife to purchase yet another (second chance I'd call it) bike. My credit is excellent, down payment in hand no problems I'm thinking. I going to buy a bike that runs!!! Needless to say I wouldn't recommend an enemy here! TAKE MY ADVICE AND DONT SPEND THE MONEY TWICE! Shop anywhere else and you've already won read more
