Customer service is second to none here. And they have some good deals right now Stop by and check them out

I just purchased a helmet here and it was a very pleasant experience. I did some research online to decide sort of what I wanted the helmet to look like and then found this place on yelp. It was close to work so I got over there fast! The guy who worked there was real knowledge cable and help me pick out the perfect helmet and a bubble shield. I knew absolutely nothing about buying a helmet other than what I wanted it to look like and left with exactly what I wanted! You can beat that! The price was average but I cant complain about the service and convenience of the location. I would totally go back here for any motorcycle accessories I need. I cant say enough good stuff about this place its a winner in my book! read more

I swear by Wes and his team. Jesse, Kim, and Paul have been nothing but pleasant and friendly. The prices are darn near unbeatable. I have made many purchases from them. In the last 6 months I've bought, M4 mid pipe, new A* jacket/boots/and gloves. I've been trying on suits and realized I need to lose a few lbs, but the price quoted was amazing. If he has what I'm looking for in six months (grom/z125) when I'm ready to buy my girlfriend her first bike I won't hesitate to buy here. They literally have everything. Motorcycles, parts, gear, x-lite. I mean come on. You will not regret shopping here. New Review: I went late last week (5/22) with my blind uncle to get him and myself some new stuff. Paul was there and took care of us. Having a blind uncle that rides it is sometimes difficult for him to understand what something looks like or how it functions. Most places will obviously try to describe a tool/part/accessory but not many will open up packaging and allow him to put his hands on it. Paul doesn't care. Paul wants his customers to be 100% satisfied. My uncle ended up getting 2 helmets and a Sena headset and I was able to replace my Shoei X-14. End of story right? I don't think so. Today is Memorial Day, Motorangutan is closed. I wasn't sure of their hours today so I texted Paul to ask. I gotta day I got pretty lucky. Paul, who lives somewhat far away, had some errands to run in town and OFFERED TO MEET ME AT THE STORE ANYWAY! This is amazing to me! I don't expect anyone to do this... ever. On their day off. On a holiday. Especially when they live pretty far away. Seriously, who does that? Now I say all this because these guys deserve a tremendous amount of recognition but seriously, don't expect this to happen for you, like I said I just got extremely lucky. Paul, Wes, Jesse, and Henry are all amazing guys and this team is phenomenal. If you need anything accessory or gear related (Harley Davidson included) seriously call/visit these guys first! read more

My favorite shop in town. Their staff are honest, knowledgable, aren't pushy, and their biggest interest is helping you out, whether you end up buying something from them or not, and that's worth a lot in my book. I trust their expertise and recommendations and buy most of my gear and parts there. They don't have the largest selection, but if they don't have it, they can usually get it. Wes always gives me a great price! If they don't have it in stock, go try it on somewhere else, then go to Motorangutan and buy it and support an awesome, local company!! read more

Walked in. Was ignored for 10 minutes. Walked out. Not one word, eye contact, or any form of acknowledgment by the three employees at their desks staring into their computers. Thank's y'all. I'll just buy from Amazon. read more

This is one of the best motorcycle shops i have every delt with. I have lived all over and the are a true stand out. Customer service is top notch. Give these guys a call or stop by they can get anything. Reminds me shops from the old days where your word is gold read more

Not going to say anything that hasn't been said before: if you need a bike or gear, this is the first place you should go to. I bought an R3 here, and the experience was spot on! Wes is a very easygoing bloke, friendly, doesn't push, doesn't give you any unpleasant sales pitches which you'd expect in most other places. When it came to actually buying and getting my new ride to its new home, Wes went above and beyond. This place just gained another fan. read more

This is a long overdue review for Pink Gorilla. I'm coming up on a year since purchasing a very hard to find Ellsworth mountain bike. The owner is a motorcycle enthusiast as well as an off road cyclist. Wes treated me extremely well during my purchase, and has been great on follow up maintenance. High end bikes are often sold by shops staffed with snobs who act like you may not be cool enough to buy/ride what they have. Wes was the only person who took the time to spec the bike AND tell me the cost of the options. I was also able to demo the bike, which helped me make my decision. His support to the motorcycle crowd is just as good. He keeps cost down by running with a small staff. With that in mind, I don't think the hours are a problem. Great job! read more

I have purchased several items over the years from Wes and am always happy. The selection is great and they really know great customer service. Their business has really grown and its easy to see why. Honest and straight-forward in doing business. If someone is looking for a used bike I always recommend to go see Wes at Motorangutan. Of course I'm always getting the "how you spell that" question. read more

Great place for all of your motorcycle needs. The guys, Jesse, Paul, and James, are very knowledgeable and dedicated to providing you with the customer service you deserve. They will go above and beyond to get you what you are looking for. Very welcoming place. Thank you, Motorangutan. read more

Stopped by Pink Gorilla at the suggestion of a friend, and I'm glad I did! Wes, the owner was very friendly, attentive, and informative. The shop is a bit small, with limited inventory, but it's not cluttered,and the inventory is easy to see. If they don't have what you want in stock he'll order it for you, no problem. I was shopping for my first helmet, and Wes took the time to explain differences and features without making feel like a "noob". I also discussed purchasing my first motorcycle with him. and he suggested a few that he had available, two of which I really liked, but he didn't pressure the sale at all. Ultimately I found a helmet that I liked, and was in my price range. . They didn't have my size in in the color I wanted, but rather than try to up-sell me, or make me wait for a special order, Wes worked a little magic, and I walked out with the helmet I wanted. When the time comes, I will definitely return to Pink Gorilla Cycles for my motorcycling needs. read more

Came in to return a gift that unfortunately didn't fit and just wanted to drop a review to say these guys are SO nice and have a very well-stocked shop. I'll definitely be back when I need some more gear. read more

Still one of the best motorcycle shops in town. They've expanded their shop so there's a larger selection of stuff they have in store. Not only do they sell moto gear but Wes also sells motorcycles and bicycles. Go check them out! read more

Great selection and nice guys. Found a good looking mesh jacket here that fit well and was well priced.

Really friendly staff let me charge my phone when I was stranded after dropping off a uhaul

Best place to buy motorcycle gear and accessories in Austin. The owner, Wes, is knowledgeable about everything motorcycle related and is willing to offer great insight and knowledge without pushing specific brands. He is fair, listens to what's important to the customer, and delivers every time. The motorcycle community in Austin is very tight-knit, and he gives back more than anyone would or should expect. If you're looking for good products, sold at a fair price, from a company run by an honest guy, you need not look any further. read more

The owner not only sells bike gear, he rides, too. He's tuned in to what riders want and/or need, and has a great balance between high quality goods and what the average guy/gal can afford. His shop has one of the best jacket selections I've seen in Austin. Nice selection of helmets and gloves, too. If he doesn't stock what you want or if you have a special requirement, he'll try to get it for you. No hussle and no high-pressure sales. He had a decent selection of used cruiser and sportbikes when I visitied. All the bikes I looked at were very clean and priced for good deals. The shop is a little off the beaten path, but the customer service, selection and prices make it worth the trip. read more

My husband and I have both bought and sold bikes with Wes now, and he runs a great shop. It is small, but what he lacks in store square footage he makes up for with knowledge, helpfulness and honesty. He's been a great source of general and specific information on bikes of all types, is always happy to let us test ride anything we're considering, and will special order practically anything we can think of (with a fast turn-around time, plus a discount on gear if you've ever bought a bike from him). This is a business built by a guy who simply loves bikes and is happy to do whatever he can to help you love yours, too. Great guy, great service, highly recommended! read more

A nice little shop that still needs a bit of work. Overall ok. This is a small shop that carries a lot of mid to low end products. Their selection is a bit limited but if you request something they can order it for you. The owner is friendly and will give a lot of advice on what products he likes best. The only negative about this place is limited selection... read more

Wes is friendly and fair. I bought a bike that had a minor problem that could not have been realized until I brought it home. I notified Wes and he paid for the needed repairs. read more

Wes is the best used motorcycle resource in Austin. He knows everything you need to get up and running as a newb, taken care of as a pro, and all in the same friendly, approachable manner. This guy, this place: INCREDIBLE. Customer for life. read more

Wes at Motorangutan was very knowledgeable and helpful from the start. We went in looking for a specific bike, and he helped us out without being pushy or trying to sell us anything. He let us take our time and look around as much as we needed. The bike we bought was in great condition, and he sold it to us at a wonderful price. He is very easy to work with, and I would recommend his business to anyone. I will definitely be back for more gear and accessories! read more

One of my favorite shops in town for a variety of reasons but first and foremost would have to be the excellent customer service. Motorangutan has a solid reputation for getting riders riding with great bikes, high quality gear and excellent equipment. I've purchased a bunch of gear, a slip-on exhaust and some other goodies and have been happy with every purchase. Perfect store for beginners and advanced riders alike. read more

Fantastic service from a very nice guy. Where to start...I had no riding experience except for a saftey class I took two years ago when I wanted to get my M endorsement and start riding a motorcycle. Found one I liked on Craigslist that Pink Gorilla had for sale so my boyfriend and I went to check it out on a Saturday. After BF test rode it for me (because I wanted to wait until I could ride it in an open parking lot), I decided to buy. I also bought a jacket and helmet. The next day, BF and I took the motorcycle to a parking lot so I could practice and get used to it. Well, after a few attempts of trying to take off I just didn't feel comfortable on it and decided it was too big (heavy) for me and that I probably needed to take another safety class to refresh my skills. Took the class and really liked the smaller size of the bikes we rode during the range drills. A few days after taking the safety class I tried getting on my bike again but still didn't feel comfortable or confident on it. Wes offers a 100% satisfaction or 30 day return policy so I went back in to talk to him. While I was there I saw two smaller bikes and test rode both. After all was said and done, I was able to trade in my first bike for a smaller bike and it was all so hassle free! And the smaller bike was cheaper so I took some of the return money and bought saddle bags, gloves, riding pants, sunvisor face shield and a pair of gloves for my BF....after all he deserved a gift for all his help :) When I am ready to buy a bigger bike I know exactly where I am going....PINK GORILLA MOTORCYCLES. I don't want to do business with anyone else! And as far as finding the place...my GPS lead me straight to the location with no problem at all (well, excecpt it's all the way south and I live far north). Thanks Wes, for making this a fun experience. See ya when I need to upgrade :) read more

Wes runs a great shop! I've been by a number of times and his inventory grows more daily. The website is fantastic as well. I've bought tires, a helmet, a couple jackets, a tankbag and a number of little items (straps, etc) and the pricing has always been great and it is nice to know I am supporting a local brick and mortar vs. ordering from some drop-shipping superwebsite online. read more

Just bought a bike from Wes. Great guy. Helpful. A little quiet. Bike was priced cheaper than most I was seeing online locally so I knew he wasn't jacking up the prices. He transported my motorcycle to my home that evening of the purchase. Test drove up the road to get things going. I am loving it now. Great place. read more

I'm really happy with this place. There are three closer motorcycle shops to my house and Wes gets my business every time. He's very knowledgable on the products he sells and that's what keeps me coming back. Special ordering is also super fast and easy. read more

I had a great experience at Motorangutan. Wes has a good selection of the best gear. Prices are equal too if not better than Revzilla and other online retailers ( he also has an extensive website). Most importantly you get friendly helpful service and expert advice without any pressure. I highly recommend checking out Motorangutan for anyone in Austin who needs cycle gear. read more

The store has a great variety of suits, helmets and accessories. Wes, the owner and his staff are always very knowledgeable about their stuff and very helpful. If you can't find what are you looking for they can order just about anything. read more

Great and friendly service. Wes seems like a great patron who doesn't just want to sell you the most expensive bike or accessory, but tried to fit it to your actual needs. Recommended. read more

This may list itself as a motorcycle dealer, but it also serves as the only area store for Devinci mountain bikes. I had Wes build me a custom carbon MTB. He snagged a frame before they were even generally available, and we worked together on a set of parts. Lots of great input from him, a few color choices, and I am now a proud owner of a one-of-a-kind ride. Lots of great compliments and it rides like a charm. I couldn't be happier. read more

Awesome local moto shop, prices are just as good as Revzilla.

Just picked up a 2008 Vulcan 900 Custom from this dealer. Wes has been pleasant and accommodating. I doubt the motorcycle would have sold in two days time, but he did "hold" it for me for that long (with no deposits or anything of the kind), while I was working out the financing. I left happy with the deal, the machine, and the interaction. There was not much consulting involved from Wes, so I can't speak to that, but I get a feeling that he knows his trade. If I had to buy another cycle, I'd start looking here, no question about it. read more

My name is Slade. On 1-24-11, I purchased a 2006 honda vtx 1300 from Wes at Pink Gorillas. I can say that the experience was and continues to be very pleasing. I've never felt more comfortable in dealing with anyone when purchasing a vehicle. The bikes on his floor are spotless and extremely reasonable in price, as well as all the accessories he offers. Since i purchased the bike i have continued to acquire a few accessories just because i feel comfortable in dealing with him. I would highly recommend a friend, in fact, i already have. Hope this helps anyone looking for a good alternative to big dealers around Austin. Sincerely, Slade read more

I've bought two bikes from Motorangutan and a bunch of gear. Wes was great in working with me on both bikes, and always has a varied selection of bikes on hand. As busy as the store can get, Wes is always willing to roll up his sleeves and help you get what you need. In-store stock is decent, but any time I've need to special order anything it has never been more than a couple of days. Wes has always been extremely helpful in referring me to good folks for motorcycle repair and maintenance and has always gone the extra mile in giving good service and advice. This is a place you can trust. read more
