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.

I am a new rider and purchased a used bike that I thought was having carburetor issues. I dropped…read moreit off at Toykomoto to look it over and perform some routine maintenance. 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!

I reached out to Desmoto Sport because I had just bought front and rear tires, Brembo rear rotor,…read moreand Brembo brake pads and was looking for a quote to install them. Scott responded giving me the quote. After he also sent me a link to a Brembo rear rotor. I checked it and noticed the part number was different from the one I had just ordered, the day before, from Italy. I Googled it and apparently the part I bought was incorrect and the one Scott had sent was the correct part number! I immediately panicked and luckily was still able to cancel my previous order of the incorrect rear rotor! Phew! That was a close call! Would've been stuck with it if it had already shipped out from Italy. Scott did not have to send me a link to the correct part number but by him doing more than he needed to, he saved me a big headache. I think this shows that Scott does go beyond what he just needs to do. Thanks Scott!

Over time I found things to cool my enthusiasm about the work…read more 1) My motor burns oil. When the motor was being rebuilt, they definitely had the pistons out on a table. That would have been the time to inspect the piston rings, the cylinder bores, etc., and advise me if something was wrong and what the parts and labor would have cost while everything was already apart. That never happened, unfortunately. Now the same inspection and replacement would cost thousands in new labor. 2) Worse, is at a later service, they bled the clutch fluid, and reassembled the clutch master cylinder reservoir badly causing it to leak when I went home. The fluid dribbled on the fairing paint and caused it to bubble. I emailed them about this and they never responded.

Chris was very generous with his time, explaining what could be the issue, also walking me through starting the bike using the kickstart. Thankfully that got the bike to start. He explained that his shop offers free battery charging, and suggested I bring it in just to check it which I did. He took me in right away, charged the battery free of cost, and also offered me some advice about the motorcycle. (I'm a first-time owner, and it's still very new to me) Additionally, he also gave me a printout of the service with details about the battery! Overall - Chris provided very thorough explanations, the fact that the battery charge is a free service is super cool, and I was in/out the same day in an hour. I consider the service above and beyond. Thanks Chris!!

Third, Ive never heard anything good about this shop. Even from other shops. When mentioned other shop owners just laugh! Finally, an man should never have his girlfriend try and defend him. Especially dont have her call and threaten someone because they hurt your feelings! If you have a vintage bike definitely take it somewhere else.

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 :)

My Bello Moto experience has been a mixed bag of ups and downs. Please take into account that my…read moreexperience at Bello Moto is strictly online, email, and phone calls. 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.
