So I came in to check out a bike they were selling, after seeing an ad on craigslist. Someone asked if I needed help so I told him the bike I was interested in and asked if he could tell me more of the bike. I forget the name of the employee (short, bald, stocky man) but he seemed like he had better things to do than help me out. After reluctantly answering some of my questions, he got offended when I mentioned the condition of the bike, then turned his back on me (in the middle of a conversation) and continued on with his shop duties. I immediately thanked him for his time and walked out (which was a shame because I was genuinely considering the bike). I feel that is no way to treat a customer, I think a business that sells and repairs motorcycles should understand that by now. I will certainly not be returning here. They do seem to have a nice selection of bikes for sale though. And the cafe next door is super friendly. read more

Quick Summary: - Honest, trustworthy expert assistance. - A real service shop, no fancy showroom or high-pressure salespeople. - A small selection of necessary accessories. - Accepts credit cards (visa, mastercard) for purchases (other forms of payment as well). - They go to the DMV for you, so your time is not wasted ($65). - They have a cafe next door! Full Review: I am absolutely new to motorcycle riding (two friends and I took the MSF course a few weeks ago and got our M1 endorsement last week)... I decided to purchase a used motorcycle... I looked at all the forums, asked people (who say they know about these things), read blogs, magazine reviews, and realized that I needed expert assistance in picking my first bike. I recalled I had seen that MotoJava had a Triumph Bonneville so I decided to check it out... I went in yesterday around 4:30 pm and was immediately greeted by one of the owners, a real bike expert (and practical, down-to-earth person). He used to race and said that nearly all of his bikes had been Triumph. I explained my conundrum and with a very reassuring attitude, he asked me about 20 questions, stopping to explore my answers and commenting on whether or not a Bonneville would be a good choice for me. In the end, he told me to just sit on the Bonneville and see how it felt... Immediately I noticed that it was quite different from the one in my MSF course (a Kawasaki Eliminator). He told me how the riding stance was different and how to deal with the foot pegs that seemed to be in the way of everything... I was there about 1 hour, and in that hour I learned more about the practical side of riding a motorcycle than I had read from my entire search on the web. I decided to purchase the Bonneville, and as he had some helmets (which are lower cost and all black, but quite safe) I tried one on and decided to purchase it (he made me wear it for like 15 minutes to make sure it still felt ok after some time). Today I went back to pick up the bike around 3pm, I was terrified of actually driving on the road with a bike that had 5 times more HP than my MSF training bike. He had me sign three papers and completed the rest of the DMV paperwork himself, then gave me a paper registration. I then got a complete orientation to the Bonneville and was able to ask some of the strange questions I had lingering from my class (counter steering). He answered every question in a manner I could understand. He even offered information about clothing and attire, showing me the suits that the uses to ride. I was given the keys and told to try out the clutch and get the feel of the bike - then ride over to the ballpark and practice. He made a special point to let me know that if I was not comfortable riding the bike today that I could leave it there until a later date. There was no pressure... After about 30 minutes, I got up the courage to ride away and all went well! Seriously, if you want a simple - no hassle purchasing experience with expert assistance (for very little extra cash) to buy a used bike - go to MotoJava. read more

I know the reviews are a little confusing, because there are actually 2 distinct shops here: the motorcycle shop itself, and the adjacent cafe. While I feel an affinity with the bikers and their quest for the perfect, winding mountain road in the middle of nowhere, I'm not so down with the instant death thing, so I'll settle for lunch like the milquetoast programmer I am. First let me emphasize that the cafe is very much in its own room; you don't have to worry about the smell of oil and tires messing with your lunch. And it's a pretty cozy room at that, with a couch and coffee table, and people's dogs wandering around. Once I got my food, it suddenly became clear why there's a cafe here at all--because these guys seriously know their coffee and sandwiches. I had the Stephen, which is a delicious ciabatta with hot turkey, veggies, and cheese, and washed it down with a cafe au lait. The perfect lunch, really. With so many lackluster lunch options in these parts, it's kind of funny that a bike shop's little side venture manages to leave the competition in the dust. But I'm not complaining--Motojava would be a fine addition to any neighborhood, and at 9th and Bryant? Godsend. Just don't come here all at once or there won't be any room for me to sit down. read more

I bough my second bike here. They had a posting on craigslist for a 2007 Yamaha Vstar 1100. The bike was almost brand new at 1500 miles. It had custom pipes and swapped out the frumpy seat for something more sleek and sexy.I instantly fell in love. Enough about my bike, the review of this place is what you came for. The shop is small but, I feel that's the charm of the place. It feels like each bike in there was hand picked by the owners who take pride in their work and their customer service. They answered every question I had and were authentically nice and friendly through the entire process. I also love the fact that I felt like I was buying my bike from "experienced motorcycle enthusiast" opposed to some turd-polishing salesmen. If you're looking for a quality used bike from guys you can actually trust, if MotoJava has the bike you're looking for, you'd be a dummy to not pick it up from them. As cheesy as this is going to sound, the guys over at MotoJava made my experience of jumping from my beginner 250cc bike to my real bike (The Vstar) a memorable one. Can't thank them enough. read more

Quirky, eccentric little respite from the evil American highways, on-and-off ramps Mega-Chain stores, and cracked out tweakers sleeping on the streets, in this hyper busy / industrial slice of SF known as SoMa They have coffee, and other hot beverages as well a lunch menu I've just started going there for coffee, in slippers It does have free Wifi (or at least assume it's free, saw ppl with laptops there and asked if it they had wifi, can't see them charging like Starbucks does) Personally don't fuss with motos at this point in my life, having 10 bicycles, snowboards and fast german car is about all the projecting yourself around the globe one can handle, but do get hyped when see stuff like this 322 Feet Motorcycle Jump, New Year's 2008, Robbie Maddison http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NikiU447Fhw Back to the review It's right across the street from Trader Joe's, Bed Bath and Beyond, near Costco and all those other urban feeding frenzies downtown Support the little guys, your neighborhood will be richer for it. read more

I went there for coffee... and by god... I rode out on my first Honda Rebel Motorcycle! (okay... there was some time that elapsed....but it happened.) I love those guys... they completely helped me find a motorcycle class, pick a bike, get a helmet and find a place to get leathers to fit me. It was great. Paul is a sweetheart. read more

I should probably try their java portion of their store one day, but this review is for the moto side. Best of the best. Those are my words about this place. Joe and Paul are the two main guys here. Their seemingly infinite knowledge of motorcycles puts them above everyone else. Their service is also unmatchable--they are extremely patient in answering questions and end up asking you follow-up questions to ensure that you understand what they were talking about. I was looking at a Triumph (forgot what model) for my first bike. Their knowledge and expertise pitted me not to get it, and instead led me to my first bike ('05 FZ6). When I first sat on it, I realized that this bike was for me. It just "felt right". Because this was my first big purchase, I was a bit intimidated, which they understood. They did not pressure me to buy at all (I later realized why--it's their reputation that sells these bikes themselves). They were very genuine and friendly during the whole process, and I ended up buying the bike the next day. The whole purchasing process was painless--they took care of all the legal paperwork, informed me where to sign, what DMV documents I needed to have in my possession as I left the store, as well as when I should expect the permanent DMV paperwork. Before I rode out, they spent a great deal of time teaching me about the basics of a motorcycle (I had received my license many years prior and definitely needed a reminder). They also said if there were any issues, I could always call them or even bring it in. I've never had a problem with my motorcycle since then, and it's been over six years now. I have absolute faith in their work. In fact, I ended up buying my second motorcycle, an R6, from them too. What really surprised me was how they were not willing to sell the R6 to a kid several days prior. Seeing it as a nice bike, they wanted to make sure the bike was going to a responsible rider, and not wanting to see a piece of beauty ending up in a wreck. Seeing that I've been regularly riding for a few years, they entrusted that R6 to me, which made me feel honored. I later find out that one of my coworkers have bought four motorcycles from this place and agree with my positive experience with them. In turn, I've turned several other coworkers, as well as friends to this place. Paul and Joe said it right--their reputation is what sells these bikes, and I will always refer everyone interested in buying motorcycles to them. read more

Definitely recommend Mike at MotoJava. Very knowledgeable staff and great deals. Sold my bike to them on the spot just took approximately 30 minutes or less. Very professional! read more

Moto Java - Motorcycle Dealers Near Me - San Francisco, California

Well... Another 5 star rating. It's hard to not be skeptical when a place has all 5 star reviews, but believe the hype. I am a relatively new rider who was in search for my second bike. I had seen a bike on MotoJava's website awhile back and was impressed with the look and price of the bike. When I went to check the website again, it was gone! This place seemed to not only have quality looking bikes, but bikes that were being turned around quickly. As soon as another bike I was curious about popped up online, I knew I had to go in for a visit. Unlike other motorcycle shops, who barely acknowledged my presence, I was immediately greeted by Paul and Joe, the owners of the shop. I began to give my backstory on where I was at as a rider and where I wanted to go with the sport. I told Paul about the bike I had seen online and asked if that would be a good choice. Paul gave me the backstory on that particular bike and also gave me a secondary option I should consider. After sitting on and examining both bikes, I still couldn't decide. They pulled both bikes outside and went through a thorough performance analysis/pros and cons on each of the bikes, where Paul was able to answer all of my questions. In the end, I chose the bike that fit me best and went through the no hassle paperwork that only took 10 minutes. Another interested party was also considering both bikes, but I was assured if it came down to purchase, the patron first in the store would have priority on whichever bike they wanted, a great rule of the shop. Joe walked me through all the essentials of checking the oil and tire pressures on this particular model and Paul double checked again that all parts were working before I rode home. I honestly can not say enough good things about this place and these guys besides, I will definitely be taking my bike back here for any/all services. Completely normal, trustworthy, and authentic guys who just love motorcycles here! You won't be disappointed. read more

There's a reason these guys have 5 stars and 13 years in business. #1 Superb Service #2 Reasonable Prices #3 Great quality bikes They are especially good for first time riders and will take the time to explain everything in detail to you. I bought my first bike from them a couple weeks ago and am extremely happy with it. I may have paid a few hundred bucks more than waiting to find something similar on craigslist, but the fact that they do a 35 pt safety inspection, tuneup and handle the DMV paperwor is so worth it. I had a couple small issues/ adjustments I wanted, I rode back and they took care of it right away. These guys are the real deal and go above and beyond. I will probably buy my next bike from them and will recommend them to all my new rider friends. Thanks Paul & Joe! read more

I visited MotoJava yesterday to sit on some bikes. I explained that my motorcycle was recently stolen, so I was in the market for a new one but wasn't quite sure I would go with the same style (dual sport) or try something new like a cruiser or a sport bike. The sales person was incredibly patient with all my questions, gave us time to discuss our options privately, and put no pressure on us to purchase. They've got a fantastic selection of bikes and their prices are fair. We had a great experience and I will definitely return when I'm ready to buy. I highly recommend! Their entrance is on Van Ness and not Howard Street - don't let GoogleMaps fool you. read more

Whatever you do, don't get the egg frittata with cream cheese on a bagel.. I want them for myself and they're often sold out by the time I get there. And yes, the people who run this place are great. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a motorcycle from them. They seem to keep a pretty active list of what they have in stock on their website. read more

First, no comments about a father of three with a motorcycle! Why MotoJava ROCKS! 1) Great advice about bikes in general; 2) Great service, worth the price, good work; 3) Small Business, not a huge operation so you get attention; 4) IDEAL place for a first bike and then the next. Ride safe ya'll! read more

Amazing people at Motojava. I visited both the coffee shop and the motorcycle store, and these are the types of people that give you a good feeling just by walking in. The motorcycle shop isn't big on selection (check out Scuderia West or CycleGear), but what they have is very reasonably priced, and the owners give out free, useful advise. read more

Bought my first bike from these guys and couldn't be happier. I've stopped in several times after my purchase to ask questions and get advice. They have been helpful each time and often even hook it up with some free parts. They could have easily put me on a bike that cost more and wasn't something that would have been ideal for me but they made sure that I was on the right bike even though they could have made more money on the sale. read more

SO... I went inside MotoJava expecting a little coffee shop, but before I went I did a little research on Yelp and the cafe part of this company is called L'acajou and located in the same building. Confusion ended. This tiny cafe/bakery serves up some mighty fine treats. I got the free cookie that came with my Yelp Check-in (Ginger Molasses) which was good, but my coffee lacked something. I ordered a Vanilla Latte.... but I think they forgot the Vanilla. At least they didn't forget the espresso. I'll give it another go for the cheap breakfast bites they have - like egg sandwiches but I need L'acajou to impress me next time around. read more

I bought a bike here about a month ago, Paul and Joe were patient in answering all of my questions (and my dad's, when he came to pick the bike up for me) and made the process very smooth. Prices are fair for a dealership and the guys make sure each bike they sell runs well and is caught up on routine maintenance. It's obvious the shop is run by people who love motorcycles and know them inside out. And the cafe makes a mean iced latte! read more

There is a reason these guys have a perfect rating, and when I was shopping around for my first bike in Aug'15, this reason was the same one I strolled in one Friday morning to buy a 2007 Ninja 650R. As a first time rider & buyer, Paul was very helpful in answering all of my questions, so I picked the bike up on the spot. Fast forward five months, 8000 miles later; purchased a ZX6R for the sportier riding style, and didn't have a reason to keep two bikes. They were very helpful in purchasing back my old bike, and the entire process took less than 30 minutes. I couldn't recommend a better place to get started as a first time rider. If you are on the fence about picking up a bike here, just go and see! read more

There's a reason this place has so many 5-star reviews, and no doubt most all of them have been listed here. Still, it doesn't hurt to testify one's utter satisfaction with what would be an otherwise painful bump in the credit. Recently, I bought a lightly-used bike from them and was really impressed with the amount of candor with which these guys conduct themselves. They knew I did my research on the bike, so they said, "Do your research on us. Check Yelp." Hah! Living in San Francisco, word of mouth on this place is nothing but glowing. This chit-chat is not without reason. Knowledgeable, thorough, patient, and very, very cool, making sure you get the bike you want and know what you're getting out of the bike. For that alone, I don't mind paying a little more than what I might plop down cash for something off craigslist - and seriously, my bike was just a little more than what I would've paid had I gone that route and was moderately lucky. Plus, I didn't have to meet some random dude with my few-to-several grand in my bag, schedule a pre-purchase inspection with a mechanic, make sure the pink slip was there and that the title was clean, and deal with any of the inconvenient "little fixes" one might have to make with a street purchase. Paul and Joe are very generous with answers about the bike and I've never had a problem with stopping in with questions about it such as, "What oil were you running in this when you serviced it?" or "How do you get this seat off?" you know...stupid stuff like that. None of that, "Thanks...Peace!" attitude you might get elsewhere. The only problem you might have is getting exactly the bike you want. Lucky for me, just that one came through. On that end, I'd suggest you just keep an eye on their website and see which bikes are coming through as they're constantly rolling out bikes. On the other hand, the great thing about their varied selection is that you might walk in there for one bike and find another you might not have considered before. Or, you could just stop by there. I hear they make a decent cup o' the dark stuff. read more

I just love these guys. They are so helpful and sweet and always willing to answer questions and go the extra leg. I am also a small woman, and people tend to not take me seriously in traditionally "men's spaces". That was not at all the case with these guys! Both Joe and Paul are patient honest and kind. I walked in here looking at their selection a couple of years ago, and though I didn't find the right bike for me, from my interactions with them I vowed to return here for any moto-related needs in the future, and I have. They did a great tune-up on my first bike, and now that I am ready to switch to a bigger one, I keep checking their website hoping they will get a Vulcan 500, the one I want next. It is actually the bike Joe recommended to me. I always enjoy going in there and interacting with them both. Going to go by there tomorrow and get another helmet, for my girl. read more

I think I'm gonna borrow a star from my next review to give to this one, bringing it up to six stars. As mentioned, this store is actually a used motorcycle shop and a cafe all in one (hence the name, I think). The cafe is run by the wife of one of the co-owners of the bike shop. So what can I say about this place? I've been interested in bikes for a while and drop into the shop once in a while just to check out the inventory. Every time I'm in there, I manage to end up in protracted discussions about all things motorcycling with both of the guys there (Joe and Paul; they're the owners and sole workers there, as far as I know). Then if I manage to stop chatting in time to go to the cafe, I'm treated to some of the best sandwiches I've ever found. To borrow a phrase, "yummers!" As previously mentioned, these guys will buy your bike from you (assuming it's not a steaming pile), tune it up (often on their own dime), and then sell the next customer a steed that can actually be trusted to not break down twelve minutes after it rolls out the door. (Whether or not said customer gets creamed by psychotic/idiotic SF car drivers in the same time frame, cannot be guaranteed unfortunately...) The last time I went in there, they had almost a shop full of bikes (around eight or ten), and then a week later they were all sold to happy customers. BTW, this shop also supports www.bayarearidersforum.com, a local online motorcycle forum, and if you ever see a Honda Hawk for sale there, then snap it up because they take special care of Hawks! ;) read more

Today was a very sad day for me.. I sold my Yamaha FZ6 - the good news is that I had the chance to meet Paul and Joe (two of the owners of Motojava) in the process. These guys are some of the nicest people I've ever met! The sympathy coffee they gave me to help get my mind off of letting my bike go was great! Where other than San Francisco could a "bike shop/bike dealer/coffee shop" exist!? If I was to by a used motorcycle right now, I couldn't think of anywhere better than Motojava! read more

Best place ever!! Lucey is so cool she fixed my bike in no time +oil change good price good customer service highly recommended ! read more

I bought a 2005 Yamaha FZ-6 today from MotoJava and it went about as great as I could have ever hoped for. Joe and Paul are real class-acts - knowledgeable, friendly, and fair. This is my second bike, but most importantly, my first upgrade from the "starter" bike. Joe helped walk me through the inventory and steered me towards a bike that was not only perfect for my current skill level, but also towards exactly what I was looking for in a new bike (more power, freeway use, etc.). I left the store an hour later with my shiny new bike and couldn't be happier. Could not recommend enough for riders looking for new wheels at a fair price - I have found my new shop! read more

When I moved to SF and was looking for a place to rebuild the head I wandered into a bunch of motorcycle shops. MotoJava was one of them. Turns out there is no place in SF that will do such work, but Paul referred me to Engine Dynamics in Petaluma. His advice was worth the trip over and the service I got from Engine Dynamics was great. I made a note in my head of the positive interaction I've had at MotoJava. Then recently I was looking for a second bike along with the 1980 one I had (I end up tinkering with the old bike to make it an every day commuter). I found three promising bikes on the MotoJava site: a salvage title SV650S, a 2006 Ninja 250, and a Honda Nighthawk 250. When I popped in, I prepared a long list of questions (how do the drum brakes feel? how hard are radiators to maintain? why is it a salvage title? and so on). Paul helpfully answered each one (of what must have seemed like incessant) inquiries. I dropped by the next day and put down the deposit. The paperwork took 10 minutes and Joe let me keep the bike at MotoJava for two weeks until I figured out the insurance for it. I had such a positive experience with MotoJava that I would certainly recommend the shop to anyone looking to purchase a new bike! Joe and Paul are great! read more

I recently sold my motorcycle at Moto Java and was treated fairly and kindly. Paul and Joe know what they are doing and they know motorcycles. They treated me professionally and we arrived at a mutually agreeable price with very little fuss. These guys are smart about their bikes, and more importantly they care about their customers and their reputation. The next time I'm looking for a bike I'll see what Paul and Joe have on hand at Moto Java. It is a great shop! read more

Okay ! This shop is totally worth going to... my husband and I had one of the best experiences at MotoJava. The owner and his staff were so insightful and helpful , they weren't pushy at all , made the paperwork super easy, and I really genuinely enjoyed the experience of becoming new motorcycle owners. Every question we had was answered, they had a huge selection to chose from , all the bikes were in great condition , ready to ride right out of the store right then and there! We came back to this store to buy a great bike because this places bikes ride out the door , literally! So the deals were just too good to pass up. ! Give them a call , stop by , the bikes speak to you as soon as you sit on them , and it made all the difference seeing the bike we were admiring on line in person! It was a pleasure doing business with owner Mike , we will be back to his shop if we are ever in the market for a bike again ! read more

How can you go wrong with motorcycles and coffee? It's like two of my favorite things all rolled into one! Paul runs a great shop. Always helpful and willing to talk. There's an interesting selection of bikes for sale and the coffee is hot, strong and tasty! read more

Motojava rocks. If you are looking for a great used bike, in excellent condition, this is the place for you! Paul and Joe know what's up and they'll help you find 'the one'. Then when you find 'the one', you can go next door for a tasty Cappucino (made from good italian espresso) and a homemade scone. The Mistress of Motojava bakes all her bakery goodies from scratch every morning. The peach scones are amazing, as well as the blueberry muffins. So if you're ever wandering the streets near Costco and the Ninth Street offramp, make your way over to MotoJava. read more

I bought my 1986 Yamaha Radian from Paul and Joe a few months ago. They've been helpful, informative and patient with me beyond what I'd ever expect of anyone. Whether it was my bike getting knocked over and taking some damage, crackheads taking my spark plugs (multiple times!) or running out of gas on the bay bridge and thinking something was wrong with my bike (they didn't laugh in my face!), they've always been friendly, helpful and perfectly honest (even if it loses them business). My roommate wants to get his first bike from them because of my positive experience. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to get a used bike, especially their first. Check out the regularly updated list of bikes on their website to see what they have to offer. read more

I normally don't like to gush about places, but sometimes you have to call it like you see it, and if that means gushing, well, then... Most of what I'm going to say has already been said, but places like this really deserve as many positive reviews as they can get, so I'll throw my two pennies into the fire. I came here a couple of weeks ago looking for my very first motorcycle after taking the MSF class a month prior. I was, and still largely am, a greenhand in the purest sense of the word. I tried doing as much research beforehand as possible, but there's still a big gap between making the jump from watching others ride motorcycles to actually doing it and I couldn't have been more pleased with the start I got at motojava. I had so many questions (I probably forgot half of them in the excitement of buying the bike) and every single one of them was answered with great care and patience. I was really impressed with Paul's willingness to spend however much time necessary getting me acquainted with the bike. He went over all these little details that I would've never thought to ask on my own. You can tell he really cares about making sure you are comfortable with it before letting you take off. The other co-owner, Joe, is also fantastic. I called them on a Monday, which is a one of their rest days as it turns out, and he still picked up the phone and stayed on the line for like 10 minutes explaining some basic maintenance tips to me. It's rare that I meet people who know so much about something and are so willing to share it with people just getting into it. read more

Motorcycle Shop Review: I had heard many good things about MotoJava from motorcycle riding friends all over the Bay Area, and I have to say I agree whole-heartedly! I did have to watch their website like a hawk, because the available bikes move fast in the spring time. They were down to only 3 available when I walked into the shop to get a preview of a bike they had mentioned secondarily on the site. It's a good thing I got there 1 hour before it was to hit the showroom floor to put unofficial 'dibs' on it, as another guy tried to get 'dibs' a half an hour after I did. Deep down both Joe and Paul are geeks (this is a non-pejorative statement coming from a Software Engineer!), and I was almost instantly comfortable talking to them, as they are sincere and approachable. I am a newer rider, and Joe very specifically helped make sure the bike was as right for me as I was for the bike. Joe and Paul will do their best to make sure your purchase is an appropriate and happy one. As an added bonus, every time I go back with a question, Joe offers me a 'tip of the day' which is a suggestion or hint about riding in general that helps me become a better rider. This is a great shop with some great people offering bikes at great prices. They do a lot for their customers as well as for the riding community in general. Keep up the great work, guys! read more

Just bought my first bike from Moto Mike and he is AMAZING. If you're honest with him, he'll be honest with you about what you need. Prices are more than fair and the bikes are refurbed so you can have confidence that the bike is good to go out the door! Best vehicle buying experience I've ever had. read more

I can't say much for the motorcycle shop side. It's small and cramped and I don't have any experience other than browsing. However the coffee side is GREAT! Yummy coffee drinks and always friendly, interesting people hanging around. I've had some great conversations with complete strangers. Small complaint: Most of the tables are too small for a helmet and associated motogear. read more

You know what it's like after dating a bunch of lying, cheating idiots just trying to take you for everything you've got.... then magically you find that one true love who is honest, faithful and will take you out to dinner once in awhile? Well, that pretty much sums up MotoJava. I've been riding bikes for 20 years now, I've gone through my phase of fixing up my own bikes, but as I get older I just want bikes that run and I want a mechanic to fix whatever is wrong with it. I've been to quite a few shops in the city looking for that mechanic and have been let down quite a few times. A friend of mine a few y ears ago purchased a bike through MotoJava and I didn't hear one thing about the bike, because she couldn't stop RAVING about the owners and the service. She's kind of curmudgeonly so this is a big deal. Not but 3 months later did I give up on my old bike and decide to sell and buy a new one. These guys bought my old bike and spent the next two hours with me while I sat on everything they had, talking bike talk, hanging out. I want this shop to adopt me. I would work here for free, if I could. Ironically, I didn't purchase any bike from them, but what did happen was incredible. I've recommended this shop to every single biker I know. For everything. I TRUST them. I'm bringing my new bike into them next week for frame sliders and everything else I need for it. Thanks for restoring my faith guys! Consider that adoption thing, too. read more

Moto Mike was rude, condescending, and unhelpful. I have cash and can buy today, however he decided to behave unprofessionally and cost a sale. Regardless of what machine I want, I will not be buying it from here. I asked if the compression had been checked and requested the readings if so. He proceeded to be condescending and rude. When asked if he was the store owner he didn't answer but instead continued being rude. Oh well. His behavior cost you guys a cash sale for that DR650. This would have been my 16th motorcycle, I'm very familiar with purchasing and sales, this was a very unusual experience. read more

Although I haven't purchased any bikes from them till now, but I feel comfortable speaking for them. They are really nice guys, you can go and check out all the bikes that they have. Couple of times I went there their supply was limited (They have only 6-7 bikes at any time), hence you will have to stay in touch with them to get what you want, if you know what you want. They do tune up and fix whatever needs to be fixed before they sell so the bikes are in pretty good condition. True that you will be spending few hundred dollar more compared to if you were to buy from private seller but you don't have to go through all the hassle, and being inspected by professional mechanics means you will be fairly safe purchasing one from them which means it is totally worth it. As per me, I went through the hassle more so because I was particular about what I wanted. read more

Great sandwiches, snacks, and of course, coffee. Cool motorcycle theme bar (more Euro themed, not a "Harley" or chopper bar). There is a motorcycle repair and sales shop next door. Friendly service. Great place. read more

Wow, I can't believe I almost forgot to review MotoJava and give them credit for all the great advice they've given me. When I was first looking for a bike, I went into MotoJava to look at their selection of bikes and talk to Paul, a person I was told to ask for when going there. He let me sit on a few bikes of interest and gave me some info about them... ride-ability, friendliness for beginners, etc. We talked about my experience behind the wheel and came to the conclusion that I should purchase a particular bike... one he didn't have. Not only had he been very nice to take time and break down the whole bike thing for me, he recommended a bike he didn't even carry at that moment. I thanked him for his time and very much appreciated his advice. A week later, I found and purchased the bike we talked about. Each time I've needed anything, maintenance, etc, I'd call them first. I always want to give them my business and show my support for their great work, and they've never let me down. Now, I'm on my 2nd bike, and still think about them before anyone else when I need service of any kind. Go MotoJava! read more

Maria makes a mean cup of coffee. In a good way. And the sammiches are delicious. And if it happens to be 11am, yes you can still have a beer with it. And she's got a great selection of motorcycle magazines, too. And you can trust the guys in the bike shop as well as any mechanics you'll ever meet. If someone new to biking is looking for a used bike in incredibly clean condition, this is the place to go. I don't know where they find these low-mileage, perfect condition, used bikes, but they're absolutely perfect for someone who's just learning and doesn't feel ready to do the maintenance themself. Great shop, nothing pretentious at all. Good people. read more
