    My son recently found a motorcycle at Ron Bishop's. The only problem was , we live almost 100 miles away and my son wanted to finance it through his credit union. Bradley was very helpful and informative on every aspect of the purchase. He really did help my son get the bike he wanted, even though there were a couple of speed bumps along the way. Every time I called Bradley he answered the phone and if he didn't, he would immediately call back. If you want great customer service along with fair prices you MUST visit Ron Bishop's motorcycles.

    FIRST AND FOREMOST, THANK YOU BRADLEY FOR BEING AND HONEST AND STRAIGHT FORWARD MOTORCYCLE DEALERSHIP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! My wife and I have been shopping around for sport bikes and we have been to many different motorcycle dealerships/shops throughout San Diego, Ca. We found Ron Bishop Motorcycles online and read all the great reviews and decided to visit the shop. As we entered the shop, my wife and I were greeted immediately, and we were asked if we had any questions to let them know. There was no salesman following us trying to sell us any motorcycle in the shop and no high-pressure sales tactics!!! The display rooms were immaculate and all the sport bikes, ATV's, dirt bikes, were very clean with LOW MILEAGE AND LOW HOURS! We were walking around looking at two specific sport bikes (Yamaha R3 & R6) and we asked if we could sit on both, to ensure my wife felt comfortable on the R3 and I felt comfortable on the R6. Bradely pulled both bikes out for us to sit on and we were sold. The motorcycles were not only in immaculate condition, but they both had very low mileage and looked brand new. We asked a lot of questions about the two motorcycles and Bradley was straight forward with us on where he purchased them from and the conditions of the motorcycles. Bradley opened the bay door, and we started both motorcycles. The R3 and the R6 sounded good with the Yoshimura exhaust. We will be purchasing more toys from Ron Bishop Motorcycles. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS!!!

I worked with Kevin who I found honest, fair and upfront. I felt zero pressure, but only the willingness of Kevin to assist in me making the right choice that is good for me. He showed his extensive experience, dedication and care. Once a decision on the motorcycle was made (2022 KTM 390 Duke), and the finance was addressed (by him), then Marc from Sales provided me the guidance on the motorcycle and professionally answered all my technical questions. Kevin assisted in the delivery of the motorcycle to my location. It should be noted that I came with a plan to review other makes and visit other dealerships, but with Kevin and Marc I knew that I will buy my motorcycle at this dealership. So based on this special experience, I highly recommend NCY Motorsport, their trustworthiness, fair prices and their high level of service. It was a true pleasure working with this 'A Team'! Thank you!!!

The staff were super friendly, polite, and genuinely passionate about motorcycles. You can tell they really care about the brand and the riders who walk through the door. I used to own a Triumph Speed Triple, and it was an awesome machine. Triumph has always had that perfect mix of British character, performance, and style. Walking through the showroom brought back great memories. That said, I have to admit -- the MV Agustas they had there... wow. Absolute speed machines from hell. The design is insane, honestly even more striking than most Ducatis. Pure motorcycle art. Great bikes, great people, great atmosphere. If you're into serious machines and legendary brands, this is definitely a place you want to visit. One love.

I dropped the bike off with Quentin, the service manager. I requested additional scope: powder coating rear subframe, the brake calipers, and installation of rearsets I had previously purchased. Quentin said 'powder coating was 3-5 days and he would "get the bike on the schedule" to install right after that. A week had passed, and asked Quentin to call the powder coater to get an update but with a sigh and then a long pregnant pause which I interpreted as his annoyance at my request. I never received an update and I think it was another 10-15 days. I requested an updated estimate several times from Quentin as to when the bike was scheduled to be completed, but again I only got a pregnant pause and then an annoyed and dismissive "I don't know...I'll call you when it's done" I reached out to Balz and explained during our call that the bike had been in the service department for nearly 8 weeks and I asked could anything be done to get it expedited sooner ro come pick it up. Balz just referred me back to Quentin. "I have one of my guys working on it with his extra time between other projects. I don't know when it wil be done but I wil call you when it's ready". I'm sorry, but that is not what "on the schedule" means. Another week passed, so I called and Michele in finance answered the phone. She said Quentin wasn't in and wouldn't be back until the following Tuesday, so another weekend would pass. Michele offered to step in. I called Quentin on Tuesday and he clearly sounded annoyed and said he was aware of my call to Michele and to Balz to complain, but I could come pick it up the next day. At pickup, I really started putting it through its paces on the ride home through the curves and heavy high speed traffic The next day, I was doing some work and leaning down to put some new decals on the bike and I immediately noticed that one of the brake caliper bolts was missing on the right front caliper which had fallen over and leaning against the brake disc. The other bolts on the left caliper I was able to loosen bolts as well with just my fingers. This sent a cold chill up my spine considering the real danger I was in on the aggressive drive home that evening and the thought that I might have an accident that left my 13yo Son without a Father. Quentin said the mechanic adamantly remembered torquing down the bolts on the brake calipers and that they would send "someone" to get the bike . I immediately became paranoid that my bike could have been sabotaged, so out of caution I called to make a report with SD Sherriff's Department about what was happening without making any official accusations until there was additional evidence to support , but just so there was a record of what happened should there be a need to escalate further I told Quentin not to come to my house or for him personally to interact with my bike when it arrived in the service department, so I loaded the bike onto my trailer myself the next day and when I arrived to Moto Forza, I spoke with the manager and Michele (who seemed visibly shaken and upset about me being there, even though I had only spoken to everyone in a calm and respectful tone the whole time). The manager suddenly took an aggressive tone with me and told me that they weren't going to work on my bike anymore and told me to leave. I said I wanted to speak to Balz and that I would not leave, but I would leave if they called the police and I received a formal trespass notice so that I had documentation entered into the legal system in addition to the report I had already made previously to SD Sherriff's department. So we did that and I left as I said I would. This all happened in the last 48hrs, but I honestly hope we eventually can rule out sabotage as a possibility, but I would think that Moto Forza would want to work closely with me in any case to determine the real root cause of what happened here and prevent it from happening in my again. It could have been something as easily correctable as an issue requiring retraining of the mechanic to verify and write down recorded torque readings on the work performed. I can't say honestly because Moto Forza doesn't seem to want to investigate this to prevent any similar incidents from happening to other customer getting work done in Moto Forza's service department. Has anyone else had an experience like this with Moto Forza? I am new to San Diego, so please reply and let's see what we can do to make sure riders don't get hurt or killed in the future. I attached here a short video of my brakes. I sent a message to Balz yesterday and offered to sit down with him to try and figure out what happened here. Please do the right thing here, Balz, and let's get this figured out as two civilized Men.

I dropped it off and asked for the repairs to be made. I was contacted and told that the brake system had milky fluid and needed to be flushed and some components replaced. I granted permission to make any repairs to get the bike running safely and correctly. I was told that the carburetor was cleaned and the unit now ran as expected. I picked up the scooter. Three or four days after I picked it up I tried to take it for a ride and it wouldn't go faster than 10 to 15 miles an hour down the street. Although it idled well, it did not function as expected. I spent over $530 for the brakes and carburetor work. I then recently took the scooter to Scooter West in San Diego to have the carburetor looked at, as they specialize in Vespa. They rebuilt the carburetor and gave me new tires, a spare key, and fixed a blinker issue for $700. On the invoice, they stated the following: Removed carburetor and inspected. choke and heater wires were not routed correctly throttle cable was not installed correctly. CV slide was pinched in the cap Main jet was partially clogged. I believe Tavo May be very knowledgeable when it comes to motorcycles, but for my Vespa scooter, I was not happy with the service I received
