Whiteside Motors

These people are bad neighbors. When they test ride motorcycles they are working on they speed sometimes 50 – 60 mph in our residential neighborhood where the speed limits are 25 – 30. I was just out in the street working on my car when the mechanic came by my house on a GSXR. I motioned for him to please slow down and his response was to accelerate and bounce the bike off the rev limiter a couple of times. I went and talked to them about it and they were unapologetic and confrontational. I would never buy a bike from them because of the way they abuse the bikes they have.

Robin was great. Bought a Harley Heritage from him and this bike is great. Looks and runs like new. Got a super good deal. I will buy from him again and tell people to go see him. A1 service.

Have bought numerous bikes there in the last 2 years. Bikes have always been as described and have never gotten any surprises after purchasing. The one time I did have a problem, Robin offered to split the repair cost with me which he was under no obligation to do. He describes the bikes accurately to the best of his knowledge. Crystal is always helpful at the front desk. I like to change scoots on a regular basis and Whiteside has not let me down.

These guys work on motocycles and sports bikes it seems, but I stopped in when I ran over a nail in the parking lot across the street to see if they had some tools I could use to plug the leak. Instead, they had me pull my car around, helped pull off my tire, and plugged the leak for me in a few minutes. I can’t speak for the service they do on bikes, but there’s something to be said here about integrity and helpfulness.

You’ll want to deal with the owner, Robin, if you’re gonna buy a used moto here. Walked in a few weeks ago wanting to check out a bike –had cash in pocket!– but Robin was busy with another customer. Instead, got dweeb-​the-​shop-​kid who was more interested in his Virginia Slim than selling a motorcycle. I asked dweeb a few questions –nothing real technical– about the bike, and instead of fessin’ up that he knows nothing about the particular model, he starts making lame sh*t up. Guess dweeb hasn’t heard of the internet and that folks do research on stuff they’re gonna buy.
Too bad actually, as Robin missed a sell here… and, probably more sales to come. Bought my bike the following week… in Houston.
Gave Robin an extra star, as I think he’s a bona fide rider. Get rid of the dweeb, though; he’s killing your business.

I found my dream bike there and ended up buying it there, staff was kind of rude but it is a motorcycle shop but I still want respect when I’m supporting a business. They didn’t call me when my license plates arrived and acted like it was a hassle when I came to pick it up. Word of advice don’t expect a sales man trying to get u to buy anything if u want it buy it they don’t care

Bought a motorcycle there via cycletrader (ad). When speaking to them Robin noted that the bike was older but apart from some standard wear and tear normal for its age it was fine.
Once the motorcycle was delivered (used a shipper) I found that some panels were strapped to the bike with plastic garbage ties. He never noted that and no photos.
Also, the gearbox is shot and the bike is near impossible to shift in 1^st and 2^nd gear.
All in all I was duped and the company IS NOT DIFFERENT than most car dealerships: their profit counts first and they will sell you whatever for a quick profit,
Taking this to BBB.

My favorite place I have bought 3 motorcycle there the last one I bought had 6 miles it was a brand new Yamaha 250 and currently he has a 1982 Yamaha it is beautiful, If you are in to motorcycle’s and like need to Work with an honest Austin Family owned business Whiteside is your man Talk to Robin you will get a great deal, I guarantee that you will be happy.
