    2015 Monster 1200
    Michael D.

    I just bought a 2015 Monster from Marin Speed Shop over in San Rafael. The purchasing experience was very easy, streamlined, and professional. I want to give a shout-out to Donnie, my sales rep, who went above and beyond by taking up the slack when my bank was not able to raise the daily limit on my debit card for the purchase. Donnie offered to drive me to my bank branch (2.2 miles away) so I could pick up a cashier's check. I'm a long-time Ducati rider and an even longer motorcyclist. Marin Speed Shop made it easy for me to replace my stolen Monster 1200S. I highly recommend this shop/dealership. I highly recommend working with Donnie who, like me, is an Army vet,

    I finally found my scooter. I was looking for this all over and that had it here! Everyone was super nice and helpful. They answered all my questions, I had so many. I would highly recommend this shop for a purchase because they made it fun and easy. I came from the city because even the guy on the phone was cool.

    When you're traveling on a motorcycle, stuff comes up. Shit breaks, you've forgotten a piece of essential gear.... Something. We didn't think to grab a phone holder and traveling without good maps was a total trip disaster. These guys (I think it was Brian) went WAY out of their way to make sure we were happy travelers. I ride a lot, and the best shops in the world always do this little (major) piece of extra friendly service that is part of what makes motorbiking fun and feel like a big family. We should have written this review sooner but we've packed every second of our vacation full of delightful little adventures... this was not the least of which. Thank you SO much from the bottom of our speedy little two-wheeled hearts, Pepper and Bronwen love you guy

    Last time I had my bike front tire replaced and loved the customer service. I definitely recommend them.

    Couldn't ask for better people to be around here. I'm on my 3rd or 4th vehicle transaction here and will keep coming back! This most recent time, Issa helped me get into a streetfighter v2 by talking me away from an MV agusta haha! Any way, Issa is not just the only good guy, we go Bryan, Malik, Steven and Charlie! From sales, to service, to financing and getting my bike delivered to me, it was smooth all the way through.

    I've been wanting a motorcycle for the longest time! I was recommended over to this shop by a close colleague of mine and dealt with Bryan. He made the process super smooth, transparent on the deal, and showed me all the right things to look for on the new bike. Being a new rider, he made sure I knew what to do and also reassured me that the bike I got was great for beginners. I went for the Triumph Bobber and just love it! If anyone is looking for a motorcycle and want to know what is good for them without all of the hassle, reach out to Bryan. He will take great care of you! Marin Speedshop is the place to check out!

    7/31/2021 Update: Today I traded in my beloved Bonneville t120 for a Triumph Scrambler. I just wanted to reaffirm what a pleasure it is doing business with the team at MSS! Bryan worked diligently on getting me a really fair trade-in and was very kind and patient in all the communications leading up to the sale. Thanks again, guys!

    3/20/2024 update: The Manager, Issa, upon reading my initial review had the courtesy to contact me and inform me that he was very concerned with the review and caught off guard in regards to my purchase experience. Issa felt that it didn't meet his standards and expectations for what a proper buying experience should be, especially with pre owned vehicle. He personally saw to it that his parts and service team ordered the exact parts that were damaged by Marin Speed Shop. I'm proud to say that the parts have come in, match, and restored the motorcycle to the condition it should've been when I originally purchased back in late 2022. I do highly recommend Marin Speed Shop/Hattar Motorsports also based on their honesty and accountability. Perhaps one day I will pick up a future Ducati or Triumph motorcycle next time I'm in the area. I also recommend that if there are ANY issues in regards to sales or service that cannot be resolved with non management staff, take it up with Issa and he'll see to it everything gets sorted.

    Bought a new Triumph from these guys, and even traded in my old bike. Great experience, overall. A few highlights that I wanted to mention: Before I bought the bike, they let me test drive one, which the SF Triumph dealer wouldn't allow. They let me put $5k of the purchase on my credit card. When they forgot to include an accessory that was part of my "deal" they shipped me the part pronto and even worked out a hiccup with that shipment quickly. They are really nice guys and they do what they say they are gonna do. Thanks Marin Speed Shop! Am loving my new motorcycle!

I…read morebrought my older bike in just to get new tires put on, and on the way home I immediately noticed a loud rotating noise that had never been there before. I called the shop and was basically told it wasn't their fault, that my bike was already in poor condition, and to just try riding it home to see if the noise went away. When I got home I saw my chain was left super loose and sagging onto the swingarm, my front wheel bearing is now failing, and the axle nut on the front wheel was completely missing. None of these things were issues before I took it in. They've been dodging my calls ever since and won't do anything to help. Now I'm stuck with a bike I can't even ride. Super disappointing that a shop that seems professional can have such dangerous and incompetent oversight that could seriously hurt myself or others. stay away at all costs. Update: After 28 days of being gas lit at every moment they finally fixed their mistake. they did want me to pay for them to fix their mistake but after twisting their arm and not giving in they fixed it for free. I was accused of taking the nut off my bike myself and blamed for the problems they caused. highly unprofessional shop and honestly for your own sanity just go to another shop. Im done with these people. no accountability. 0/10

I emailed Factory Pro and Marc got back to me right away. He told me to get a PCV and if I wanted it really dialed in, a fuel controller module to pair with it. I bought both and delivered my bike w/ parts to FP. About 4 days later Marc called and said, "it's ready, and it's running really well!" I rolled up there the next day and took it for a test ride, and he wasn't lying! Holy S**T! It felt like an entirely new motorcycle. The throttle delivery was smooth at all RPMs and I could tell right away that it was breathing better and had more power. It was low on fuel after the dyno runs they did, so I took it to get gas. When I merged onto the freeway I gave it the beans and took off with the front wheel waving in the wind! No clutch, and in 3rd gear, it easily wheelied under 3/4 acceleration. Needless to say, I was stoked! I got back, thanked the crew for their excellent work and loaded the bike for home. Factory Pro was quick, extremely professional, reasonably priced, and they know how to properly tune motorcycles. I will definitely be using their services again in the future.

Nini at the front desk was absolutely perfect for the job imo: compassionate, reassuring, and exactly what a first-timer needs before throwing a leg over a bike for the first time for real. Freddie and Henry were great too, really easy dudes to talk to and very helpful with sharing tips and other pointers for me. I'll be honest, I dropped the bike an equal number of times on both sides over the weekend, all at zero mph (embarassing af). Symmetrically bruised ego, perfectly balanced. Returning it felt intimidating, but the whole team handled it with zero judgment and genuine professionalism. I didn't try to hide anything and they made the whole process painless, albeit with some monetary penalties caused by my inexperience (I own up to this though). I'm leaving with my wallet lighter but with my heart genuinely fuller for the experience. The environment this shop creates for nervous beginners like me is genuinely rare, and it made me feel supported and motivated to come back and do better next time. Will absolutely be back for my next rental and keep getting ride time in, because real experience gained like I did is priceless. The human element of the shop is just cherry on top, and makes me feel good I'm supporting a local business. Shoutout to Nini, Freddie, and Henry. You made a squid feel welcome.

Nice selection of books and magazines on their shelves. Holiday food/snack selection was great!
