My new 2022 Triumph Street Twin!
Tony T.

I'm stoked to be a new customer at Munroe Motors! I had my eye on this pre-owned 2022 Triumph Street Twin for a while now. The boys treated me the utmost respect and patience despite me arriving right before closing time of a Saturday. I had the whole shop to myself! Elijah took the time to walk me through every little detail on this bike. Danny "Shades" did all the paperwork and made it a breeze--and pulled a couple favors for me. And Andy made sure that I was taken care of every step of the way. I'm proud to support a legacy business that's an anchor in our Mission neighborhood. I'm looking forward to being a part of that legacy! Thanks guys! The bike sounds and rides like a dream. I appreciate y'all staying late for me. I'll swing by with a six-pack next time I'm in the area!

Best motorcycle shopping experience ever!!! Thank you so much to Danny, Andy and Matt. Always on top of everything, available to chat, taking care of all that is needed in an above and beyond way. Am so happy with Munroe Motors and my new Ducati. Thank you again for everything! Lifetime customer for sure

Wonderful Swiss army knife bike for my use.

I rode to Munroe in September 2022 just 'to see' what the Multistrada V4S felt like. I'm 5-8 with a 28.4" inseam. One of the sales guys rolled one out so I could sit on it. I could be on the balls of my feet and the bike, although heavy wasn't so heavy that I'd not be able to handle it. After a lifetime of riding/racing motocross, desert, and finally road racing and training racers I wanted a bike that would in all likelihood be my last one. I asked Andy what kind of deal he could work for me and he said the best deal would be on the shop's MS demo bike. It was at the mileage they set as the maximum before selling. So he walked me outside and showed me the MSV4S Sport and I was in love. He went into his office and came out with a post-it note with the price. Deal I was sold. Ask if he had and could install the crash bars (because I knew I would fall at some point) and he did. Subsequent to my purchase I emailed and talked to the staff there about questions I had/have since this bike has more tech than my car or computer. LOL. In each and every case I get a prompt and courteous response, what I consider old school, which is a compliment. I didn't get as much as I had hoped trading in my 2017 Zero DSR, but it all balanced out with the price of the MS. My first Ducati, my first experience at Munroe. Both have been positive.

749S ready to roll.

In 2005 I was a young parent with a 1 year old and a second child was on the way. The sexiest bike on the market ( to my eyes ) had just received a series of updates to make it better. I had dreams of owning a red Ducati Superbike but given my financial situation this was not to be. I found my dream bike after waiting 17 years. The team at Munroe handled the service work to get the motorcycle on the road and reliable. Will answered my questions and provided accurate estimates on costs and timelines. I appreciate the expertise and enthusiasm of the staff. Everyone I have had the chance to interact with is upbeat and knowledgeable. I have purchased a motorcycle here, ordered parts, and used the service department. I TRUST the employees here to steer me in the right direction and educate me along the way. In short, THANK YOU!

Outside signage that just made me laugh

Huge Shoutout to Dan and Matthew for being my boyfriend's go-to and securing him a Ducati Panigale V2. Everything was so seamless, and so efficient. My boyfriend has been looking for this bike everywhere! He has been constantly looking at websites and other dealerships trying to locate one in stock or incoming shipment. And decided to go Munroe Motors one day and Dan and Will convinced him to buy it. The guys told my boyfriend to sleep on it, and not even 24 hours later, he put a deposit on this bad boy. The even better part was being able to see another V2 for service and I was instantly in love. Ugh this bike is a beauty and beast and can't wait to ride with my boy again! Thank you Munroe Motors

Here is their hidden fees "freight" $550 and "handling" $799. Bad way to do business

Can anyone give a rough estimate of additional out-the-door costs on their bikes? I know that such costs might vary based on bike model, but I'm just looking for ball park estimates (or specifics if available). Thanks!

Feel free to reach out to our sales staff at sales@munroemotors.com They can answer all your bike questions.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about SFMOTO--especially Dave B!…read more I have a 2013 Lance Cali Classic 125cc scooter that had been sitting in a garage for about 10 years. She badly needed a tune-up, new tires, and a new battery. I called scooter shops all over San Francisco, but everyone turned me down because of the scooter's age or because they now service only electric scooters. I was at the end of my rope and honestly thought I would never find anyone willing to help me get her back on the road. Then I remembered SFMOTO on 8th Street. Years ago, I purchased my first motorcycle helmet, shoes, and gloves there while taking motorcycle classes, but I didn't realize they also repaired scooters. I was so happy to learn that they are a Lance distributor and service Lance scooters! Dave B was my service representative, and he was amazing from the beginning. He has such a great personality and genuinely understood how much getting this scooter running again meant to me. Although the shop normally doesn't accept vehicles over 10 years old, Dave looked at me and said, "I can't say no. I can see how much you want to ride your scooter, and I love your passion. I'm going to say YES!" And he did! SFMOTO fixed my scooter, and now she purrs like a kitten and is ready to ride into the sunset! I am so happy and excited to ride again. I truly believed no one in the city would help me, but Dave found a way to say yes when everyone else said no. Thank you, Dave B, for seeing how much this meant to me and for helping bring my scooter back to life. I love SFMOTO so much that I ended up buying another helmet, and I will definitely be back. Thank you, Dave B--you ROCK!!!!!

LADIES!!!! This review mainly for you…read more I'm in the very beginning stages of researching the best beginner bikes for me. Context: the last time I was on a bike, I was a teenager. I'm 58. So, I rolled up to SF Moto & I'm greeted by JASON. Told him what I was doing, and he asked some follow up questions & sent me upstairs to CHANA. I told Chana what I was looking for, showed him a picture, and he immediately said, "no you need this..." then he called TONY. Tony suggested some bikes, then he pulled out two: Honda (fave) & a Kawasaki (good too). He let me sit on them, take a look, and then he offered some tips. He did not rush me. He did not make me feel dumb. He was patient, especially to someone who was not buying. Next he said let's go & talk to TONY. Tony took more time than I thought he would as he walked me through the countless gear. He shared not buying a "Lexus" helmet in the beginning, until I have some rides under my belt. I learned so much. All & all ladies. This is a male dominated industry, and it is easy for men to make women feel small. Not these guys! I cannot wait to get started. Thank you to: JASON, CHANA, JIM, AND TONY. And I am going to give a shout out to the sweet man, talking to Chana when I arrived. He gave me some good advice too. Unless you are an experienced rider, please listen to whatever advice these guys give.

I first reached out to them about my leaking fork seals, and I had the pleasure of speaking with Shawn. He told me I could bring my bike in for a quick inspection, so I stopped by and they took a look at it and gave me an estimate. From the beginning, Shawn was transparent about the pricing, what work needed to be done, and what I would be paying for. Before coming here, I had gotten quotes from other shops, and TokyoMoto's price for replacing my fork seals was significantly better. I was so happy with the price and how they treated me that I decided to have them replace my chain as well. Obviously, adding another service increased the original estimate, but everything was explained clearly and there were no surprise charges. I had seen a previous review mentioning unexpected or last-minute charges, but that was not my experience at all. Shawn was very straightforward about their pricing and what each charge was for. I always felt like I knew exactly what I was agreeing to. They were also fantastic with scheduling. Since my motorcycle is my daily commuter, they worked with me to find an appointment that wouldn't interfere with my schedule. Luckily, I ended up being able to bring it in on one of my days off, and everything worked out perfectly. The whole crew at TokyoMoto was friendly, responsive, professional, and transparent throughout the entire process. My bike came back riding great, and I genuinely appreciate the work they did. They've definitely earned my trust, and TokyoMoto will be one of the first places I call whenever my bike needs service in the future.

Shortly after, my bike was still stalling. I called them back and spoke with the owner, Shawn, who wanted to make it right and personally came out to my place and kept my bike for a few weeks to try and replicate the situation. The entire time he had it, he would give me updates.As it turns out, it was just me being a noob and not using the fuel reserve correctly. Shawn was very helpful and professional throughout the whole interaction; I was only charged for the cost of fuel. This kind of customer service is almost unheard of, and I will not be buying/ servicing a motorcycle anywhere else. I cannot recommend them enough!

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.

Also, I am new to the Vespa world in general and didn't know much about anything. However, I am a quick study and have been educating myself since my interest to purchase arise. The staff has been good for the most part. Dean is a professional that will go over the models, pricing, service, and any questions about the product. Dean has been extremely helpful and patient when answering my questions. Scott is a good guy, that doesn't always respond to emails, which bothers me as a paying customer. Pros: This location will provides a great selection of vintage Vespas on this side of the Mississippi! They acquire Vespas locally or have them shipped from Italy. You will get a quality product from Bello Moto. Cons: The prices are top tier. In a market where finding a vintage Vespa of your choosing is few and far in between, perhaps this is a good problem. There were many little problems Bello Moto should share with customers that are not local since they ship the products nationwide. The clutch did not have the gear numbers stamped in. This made guessing the gears hard for this new rider. The kick stand leaned to one side. The throttle did not snap back, making that a very dangerous to ride! Truth be told, I still would have purchased it, but I would have appreciated a heads up especially if I am paying top dollar. The description said it was a 1974 Vespa with "factory holes for turn signals". When I got the title, I learned it was actually a 1976 model. The factory holes for turn signals led me to believe that I could have someone install the turn signals at some point. I was told I couldn't add the turn signals because the aftermarket compression brake took up all the conduit space, making it impossible as it is. Here is one of my biggest problems, It was more than that. The whole wiring harness, including the switchers, have been ripped out. I didn't learn that until I had the product shipped to me. These items are not found on the market! Luckily I found a competent mechanic in Orange County that made a customer electrical harness and was able to get my front and rear turn signals operational in tandem with the aftermarket brake. I had Bello Moto install a right hand side mirror because I am blind in my right eye. This was a crucial must for me. They said that a handlebar mount (to match the left one) was impossible due to the aftermarket front brake so they installed an overcharged mirror onto the shield. Turns out that a matching mirror could be ordered and installed despite Bello Moto saying it was impossible to. Bello Moto needs to be transparent with their clientele. Vintage Vespas sell themselves! Inform your potential cliental of any and all issues. Setting the proper expectations to someone that can't walk up in person is crucial for a great customer experience. I wish I knew about the electrical system being compromised for turn signals. Also, all the little problems should be discussed. Your mechanics gave bad advice for mirror solutions.

The classic scooter scene in SF can be a hard one to break into. You basically have to "know…read moresomeone" to ever acquire one. As a new classic enthusiast, Bello Moto helped me navigate that barrier. Their shop is one of the few in the Bay that you can go to and have a selection of amazing classics to choose from. I can't think of another place that you can walk in and choose a vintage Lambretta or Vespa and ride away with it that day. They have up to date stock on their website. And the turn around time for getting it on the road is lightning quick. Granted, these scooters are not cheap. But the Lamby 1967 Li150 series 3 I chose is pristine. The few little issues it had were taken care of immediately. Tim was fantastic. I flooded the engine in my garage and was having shifting issues after I got it home. He came to my place and got me on the road again. It had to go back in for some clutch adjustments and Tim made sure everything was running great even weeks after the purchase. The day I drove off the lot I got about 5 min away and ran out of gas..Tim came through again with the save and I was so grateful. He taught me so much about my new scoot..how to unflood the engine, change the spark plug, adjust my clutch cables etc. he was very patient and really wanted me to ride away happy. All the men I know in the scene said I'd never get my hands on a Lambretta..and now because of Bello I'm a proud owner. I did some light mods on it today and am so happy to have a new wrenching project. Thank you so much to Tim and Jeff for all your help and my new baby :)
