Ride Motorsports

Many thanks to Mike and all the guys in the service department at Ride Motorsports. I’ve brought my bike here twice for minor issues and they strike me as very honest and helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate to bring my bike here for service again. Highly recommended!

Screw this place. I had oil dumping into my air box intake manifold so i called them to get a quote on how much is it gona take to fix that problem. I told him that i believe its my oil pump seal that blew on me. I have an 07 aprilia sxv and this shop is very well familiar with my bike. The answer i got was, we have to tear the whole block apart to figure out the problem and that it will cost me about $ 2000 to get it fix. Are u freaking kidding me?! For a seal repair. I called moto international and few other places and told em what was going on with my bike and they basically all gave me the same answer of $ 500 price range. One shop even told me that if i order the engine brake down manual and stimatics, i would be able to do it my self. Thanx for legit shops other than this place i was able to fix the problem my self for $ 86:))

My first time purchasing a bike here in Washington. I have to say it was a pleasure dealing with Sales Rep. Bill Hettick and the finance staff. My bike was delivered in a timely manner and my salesman kept in touch as needed. I can see how some people complain about not getting instant service, especially coming in at or near closing time, but this dealership has the best prices and stays very busy at this time of year. Bike was a New 0 mileage Aprilia SR50 Motard scooter at about $ 500 less than the competition.

Darn good service. Walked in to get a few bolts for my seat. They had the parts on hand and did the installation on the spot. The employees there are friendly and fun to chat with. They earned the five stars!

A five star for sure. I bought two motorcycles. Great service and people.

I had no business going into Ride Motorsports on 1−17−15. I went to Woodinville to meet up on a Craiglist ad for another motorcycle and they where a no-​show. Waited over an hour in the Haggen parking lot for nothing.
Sorry, Woodinville Haggen Foods.
So I drop into Ride Motorsports and look around the used motorcycles. I only buy used motorcycles, because I’m so conservative with money I make Rush Limbaugh look like Chis Matthews. I let other people pay for the depreciation.
I remember seeing a Yamaha FZ1 posted online and when asked about that FZ1 they where very polite about the FZ1 saying it was sold. I looked around at other motorcycles and saw a Suzuki SV650 and ask the general questions about it.
Anthony, brought the SV650 downstairs via a freight lift. I looked around the motorcycle like typical customer without any sales pressure. I test rode the bike around parking lot with borrowed helmet. Anthony wanted me take it out the streets. However it’s January in the Pacific Northwest and I was in my «cager gear». No street riding for me that day.
I look around the bike checking even more thing than the usual stuff and ask one Billion stupid questions about this SV650. Again without sales pressure. I made an even dollar OTD offer (Out the Door) which includes all crazy Washington state sales tax and license fees. Anthony of Ride Motorsports accepts it.
Then without any sales pressure I drive to Lynnwood to my bank and the transaction is done in under ten minutes. The sale of the motorcycle that is, not the drive between Woodinville and Lynnwood.
Beavis and Butthead should live in the Pacific Northwest. I noticed that there is a lot of «wood» in the suburbs of Seattle.
Thank you, Anthony and Ride Motorsports. This was easiest motor vehicle transaction I ever made. I have purchased many vehicles from dealers and private parties.

If you are looking for customer service dont go ! Price maybe sevice no way ! Will never go back and will not recommend.

I have to say, who you get to help you matters. I am a new rider and wanted to purchase a helmet. I didn’t know the first thing. Austin spent over an hour with me, talking to me about options, but connected those options with how I might use them. Helping me to make the choice. He was balanced in his review of helmet brands — which was nice.
I have been very happy with my helmet and am now looking at purchasing a bike. Bill has been very helpful.

I wanted to get my carb cleaned. They wouldn’t do it since they don’t work on «vintage bikes». Since when is a 1994 Suzuki considered vintage? Somehow I have a feeling they wouldn’t have refused my business had I called in November/​December. Two stars since they did refer me to another shop, but I can’t say I feel inclined to spend money there in the future.

I have to admit after reading the reviews… especially the ones written by women I would not have even bothered with a visit but as luck would have it there was only one yamaha vino 50cc white with a tan seat within 100 miles of Seattle… so I went.
I was hugely impressed was greeted right away and offered help but I had spoke to Bill on the phone so I tracked him down. He was very helpful, knowledgable, patient and not pushy at all. He gave me a couple of great options but I stuck with my original plan and bought the Yamaha scooter. They even delivered it from Woodinville to Alki beach the very next day for under $ 100.
Overall it was an amazing experience and I couldn’t be more impressed. I would highly recommend!

Screw this place. We dropped our jet skis off 7weeks ago for a quoted 2 weeks of repairs. We still have no idea when we are getting them back. They dropped the ball on ordering the parts they need and now all we hear is that they are busy.
We bought our jet skis brand new here and expected better treatment when we brought them in for repair. This is ridiculous.

If a person walks in your store and is there to buy a bike CASH OUT THE DOOR maybe you could show a bit of enthusiasm in your customer service. Or perhaps
you don’t have to because you sell what, 20 bikes a day? Is it that easy to see money walk out the door? We don’t window shop or go in and kick tires, we buy.
Got a 2014 Harley last week; CA$H. Received exceptional service. I’m now going to write a glowing review about that experience.

Bought three bikes from these guys, and it’s been a fair and respectful transaction every time. Bill and Jackson are very straightforward and the manager is willing to negotiate if you’re reasonable. The service guys humor me and my regular inquiries, and my bikes are always ready on time. Always dread the process of buying/​trading a bike; always wind up finding RIDE treats me far better than the average. (Helps that the sales staff are actually riders and hobbyists with a real interest in the products they sell!)

I bought my Suzuki 650 DL over the phone from Jackson: I was planning a trip with my son from port Angeles WA to Palm Desert. Here are his comments about the bike. «Chuck this unit looks like brand new, tires look great with only 3500mi on this bike. Any services needed are up to date (600mi 1^st serv & 3000mi oil change). This unit has a accs. (12V) outlet, Heated grips, Skid plate & engine guards installed when new. This bike IS mint! «
When I got to the bike it had a knee dent in the tank, gravel rash on the front fender and left side faring.
I realize buyer beware but I needed the bike for the trip and being 2000 miles away could not see it in person.
What they did well was deliver the bike but I paid for it in the deal.
Buyer beware. Sure I was the fool buying the bike unseen. I just expected some honesty on Jackson’s part. I may have still bought it but disclosure seems to be a reasonable request.

I wish I would of read the reviews before going in this place 3 times. Wow treated me like I was a burden in their shop every time. They gave me a written copy of some instructions for servicing my bike, only to find out it was wrong. The sold me an incorrect part. i went to talk to the service guy sitting in a chair and apparently interrupted him and his friend talking about a ride. I got the slow turn and the «can I help you?»
I guess there are some shout outs about the staff here in the reviews but it doesn’t look like anyone cares.
I ll go somewhere else for parts, oil/​filters and today I need tires for my 4 Hondas.
If I am wrong please let me know. 3 times is a pretty good indicator though.

After reading reviews I was prepared not to like this place. I found a bike online, negotiated, and then went to the store to Make the purchase and pick it up. it was all very hasslefree. The people were knowledgeable and responsive, and helpful. They knew I was coming and had the bike all ready to go. Pleasant experience, friendly service. I’m a woman and didn’t get an attitude at all. Quite the opposite. The only slight ding is that they felt a bit rushed to be done with me since it was the end of the day and boy were they in a hurry to leave. They knew in advance that I was coming in late, so I think they might have had someone ready to stay a few minutes late to help me get loaded up (I’m not too proud to ask for help!) and on my way, but they weren’t rude about it. So if you know exactly what you want, arrange things in advance, my experience was about as painless as it gets.

The owner needs to re– train sales crew … I suspect their family friends or have been there awhile or the owner doesn’t manage them any more?
I have bought 2 sport bikes from Lynnwood cycle. But live closer to Ride when shopping for 3^rd. A friend bought there’s from ride (dif sales guy then who approached me).
Might’ve been Rick– can’t remember older guy. Tall.
Anyway the difference in sales. RIDE sales guy made me feel as if «everything was out of his way».
Like a teenager you tell to pick up your room.
I looked up Kelly blue book on my trade– he was trying to make me feel lucky on what they would give me… When KBB indicates what it should be anyway!
Also I was Cash deal on a 2012 bike — last years model… And he was not trying to work anything.
So I thought– screw that ill check with smokey point cycle barn.
Total customer service!
Attitude of appreciation and «I’ll take care of you — we want your business!»
The sales gal at smokey point was like let me see what I can do!
Total opposite attitude of staff at RIDE.
She offered me 2013 model of Yamaha for 2012 price!
They were all so nice — welcoming– helpful at smokey point cycle barn!
Go there not here.

I haven’t had much to do with this store, but went shopping for a new helmet and a new pair of boots. I have been riding for a number of years and things tend to wear out. Most motorcycle stores tend to carry the same — usually high-​end — quality products and RIDE was no exception.
What I must say though is that in my search for new gear, this was the first store I visited that actually had a knowledgeable person who could help me select the proper equipment. Austin was so helpful in advising me on how to size the correct helmet and even brought me to realize what I’ve been wearing

I have driven by this motorcycle/​motorsports shop a few times on my Suzuki heading for the back roads. One day when the weather was really cold and wet I decided to take a special car trip to Woodinville to check it out.
I guess because I’m a woman they feel like they don’t even need to acknowledge my presence when I walk in. I was looking at the women’s leathers and barely even had a glance by one person who worked there.
I came in specifically looking for a new motorcycle helmet. I already had a specific helmet in mind and it would have been a quick $ 300 sale.
As I made my way towards the back of the store I commented to my friend that it looked like the clearance area was upstairs. It was only then that one of the dudes that worked there said oh yeah, our used cycles are up there.
You can’t judge a book by it’s cover and you certainly don’t know what kind of money I was planning on dropping on a new toy or accessory without even acknowledging me.
I kinda had high hopes for this place because I knew they had snowmobiles, jet skis as well as quads and motorcycles.
I finally found the helmets but then couldn’t find anyone to help me.
I left empty handed.

My Schwinn Gradutate scooter died again so I decided to get a real bike the Honda SH150i. I did my research, found what I wanted, called Ride Motorsports and two hours later they delivered my new bike, picked up the Schwinn I traded in. I then visited the shop to order a trunk for the bike and it came in four days later. I luv these guys.
