I called him last week and left a message. It was less than two days that he returned the message and also followed up with a text. Instantly, I felt like this was an honest business that considered the client. Through text messages, we chatted about the bike. Initially, if it meant getting fixed before selling it, or if we were going to sell it. Tim stopped by yesterday, bought the bike on the spot and towed it away that day. It was an east and quick transaction that led my husband to think of purchasing a bike from him down the line. Overall, great experience. read more

Good people, great products. Family owned since 1953. The owners welcome bike lovers to come in and enjoy their showroom.

Tim was exceptional. He was friendly, honest and professional. Our Vespa was not starting and we towed it over to Century. Tim got back to us within a few days with a quote for parts and labor. It was a fair quote but it was a bit out of our price range but he was willing to work with us to get the job done. Highly recommend! read more

I would not have the collection of bikes I have today if it was not for Century motorcycles working with me finding difficult parts and other things for obscure Japanese and German scooters and a couple Italian ones also. I also picked up a brand new Honda Ruckus a few years ago they do the maintenance, I've never had to ever worry about this bike. I take it in once a year for service You would be stupid to go to any other Motorcycle shop give Century motorcycles your business you won't be sorry read more

This is a fun motorcycle shop that focuses on offering used bikes, parts, and repairs. The main thing about this shop is that the owner and every one who works here is very nice. When you walk in the shop it is a bit chaotic. There are deep vintage, custom, and varying others years, makes, and models of bikes for sale all over the place. Very Cool! During open hours there are also a bunch of bikes out in front and along the side of the building. Again, letting you know that motorcycles are what this shop is all about. In terms of sales, they have good prices on used bikes. In terms of repairs, they offer competitive prices. Overall, great shop. read more

Tim's the MAN. First time buyer and happened to have the bike i was interested in. Made a few calls and after some days i had a price i was ohkay with. Pulled the trigger and couldn't be happier. Made sure my bike was good as could be before i left the shop. Tim's the kinda guy you juss ask and whatever he says you agree too. Very knowledgable, kind, and patient owner. Never felt like a business but rather a friendship. Service was so good my brother and I came back few days later and bought one for himself. The Century family is wholesome and gives you those vibes you get when you're around family or friends. I walk in and I feel comfortable with the deal I got, happy to be around good people, and at ease knowing i don't feel scammed. Tim has secured my business and is definitely a location that deserves to be around for as long as they please to. Thanks Century Motorcycles!!! read more

I've been taking my motorcycles to Tim at Century for several years and I'm always happy. Just had my ZRX1200 in for new tires and fork seals and the work was done quickly, well and the bike looked brand new when I went back to pick it up. Tim gave really good advice on getting the right tires for my bike as I wasn't happy with the old ones. So far they're performing well and I'm pleased with his recommendation. Tim really seems to care about his customers and I like just checking in every now and again just to see some of the classic bikes they have in the shop. Great shop, great team. Thanks, Tim. read more

I brought my Suzuki DRZ400SM for repairs. I was having electrical issues with my bike where it'll just die, so I called them up and they said they'll work on it. I towed it over and talked with the owner. He helped me get additional parts, such a bigger gas tank and I asked for a tune up and asked him to check the bike out for any maintenance issues. He quoted me a fair price and it only took a couple of weeks to fix my bike. The dude is a cool guy, very patient and he felt trustworthy. I'm definitely going to be coming back for my regular maintenance. read more

My dad purchased a motorcycle from Century Motorcycles. Tim the Owner is so Awesome!!! He is so friendly, very helpful and has great knowledge. He takes the time to listen and get to know you.

I highly recommend this shop! We definitely will be going back here for any repairs or tuneups. The 4 hour travel from where we live to this shop is worth the drive. Tim's a really great person! We are really Grateful and Blessed to have meet you Tim!!! :) read more

Tim, Been busy here, but took my second ride on the bike yesterday after your thorough maintenance check. (As you know, I was upset with the work done at a local shop here with the time it took and the cost.) I Wanted to let you know I am so elated and excited about the way it is running now! So, I want to thank you for the time and attention you devoted to it in the years past rebuilding the bike's original transmission rather than exchanging it; rebuilding the engine; upgrading the electronics; adding a more powerful electric starter: upgraded tires; etc. You've earned my trust and confidence, and Century motors is my go to place for my ' 75 Norton, even if you are 80 miles away! I'd recommend you in a heartbeat. Also, thanks for your feedback and advice on maintaining the configuration of the bike going forward. Lee Redlands, Ca read more

Amazing service, extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. Found a gem for an awesome price. Tim and Jackson helped me out and were very attentive. Bike was in great condition, it was missing a tailight cover which they provided. Also plenty of gear, and the staff knows their products regarding that too. On top of that, they provide a very affordable delivery. Would recommend for sure! read more

Finest bike shop in the Southbay with everything you need for your bike Tony always comes in clutch quick and fast oil change left my bike, sounding like new and running like new fully recommend this place for any motorcycles owners read more

I brought my R1 in for charging issues. Got a quote from Tim for a stator replacement, but wanted to get it diagnosed by them beforehand to confirm. It turned out stator was fine and regulator was toast. Saved me a good amount. I got the bike back and was still having charging issues. I was a bit disappointed because I thought they would give me a hard time getting it back in and they would want to charge me more, but I was wrong. Tim right away had me bring it back in. They worked out the wiring that was causing the battery to drain and fixed the issue at no additional cost to me and Tim even paid his employees out of his own pocket. Service like this is getting harder to find. I definitely recommend this shop and I will continue to give them my business read more

This is the place to take ur bike. Call Tim and he will bring your bike right into work. They do great work. This is my shop for whatever I need. They have done tons of work on my bike. I trust this guy and his mechanics. Hard to find. Go here. read more

I had the best experience at Century Motorcycles! I had reached out to Tim via Facebook marketplace initially. He was very responsive and answered all of my questions thoroughly. When I arrived to check out MY VERY FIRST BIKE, I was welcomed into the store by very friendly staff. Not to mention, but the store has some pretty neat bikes! I spoke with Tim about the bike and he let my Uncle test ride it. The price was exceptionally reasonable and because of that, I made the purchase! Tim even tuned it up, filled it with gas, and changed the oil for me before I took it home. I would recommend Tim's shop to everyone as the prices are fair and the customer service is exceptional. I will definitely be passing along the word. Thank you for everything!! read more

Just stopped by during a day trip. A rookie pall of mine needed a chain maintenance asap. The shop was clean, organized, had some really cool bikes sitting around, and the pricing was rather competitive for the chain service. Great customer service and I would totally be back if I'm in the area. Some pictures of a Benelli 900 they had. Absolutely stunning. read more

Above and Beyond! First off Tim is absolutely rad, took my 2004 XR400 that sat a few years for him to dial in. Great service with fair pricing in my opinion and even made my 3yr old twins day when I picked the bike up and he gave them shirts. Bike performed extremely well and it's good to back riding. Thank you Tim and your entire staff at Century Motorcycles read more

Highly recommend Century Motorcycles. I called Tim after working hours on a friday when he was already with his family, i was in a pinch. Tim help me out that evening with the number for a towing company; All Points Towing owned by Jesse, I also recommend. During that next week Tim took my bike in at his shop. He and his team were able to resolve the custom especially tricky wiring problem i had, as well as give me a new tire and as a caring touch check on some routine maitenance. Tim and his team care about every bike that comes through their shop down to the finest detail. Tim even wiped down my bike before it left the shop, leaving it cleaner than it was brought in. I was a new customer and Tim's team earned my business for life. read more

Tim was a solid dude in my time of need. A simple oil change became an absolute nightmare when my oil plug refused to release its grasp from the engine case. I live nearby and called to be introduced to Tim who was a much needed source of serenity after I had torqued an easy-out to the point of exhaustion. I really appreciated his understanding of "making mistakes" and "learning the process". As I expand my maintenance knowledge, it's nice to know I have a reliable place nearby who is willing to have a conversation about an issue as opposed to simply providing a quote. Admittedly I wish it was something more than an oil change that led me to Century, but in any case I'm happy to have become acquainted. Thanks Tim. read more

Tim runs a great cycle shop. I get all my work done there and have even purchased a used bike from him (special ordered from an auction). He took care of all the details to get the bike from the east coast to his shop, where he tuned it and got it ready for me to pick it up. I can be a little impromptu about my maintenance appointments and he has been able to accommodate me as long as I'm willing to leave my bike for a day or three to get everything handled. I also like to stop by just to look over his classic bike selection he has for sale. It's often better than a museum because all the bikes run well and are ready for the road. He also has a good selection of modern used bikes as well. I highly recommend bringing any brand bike to Century, Harley's to scooters, sport bikes to dirt bikes, and everything in between. read more

Tim is awesome! He got my little bike up and running in just a couple days. Couldn't be happier now that I get to cruise around.

Having a trustworthy and reliable mechanic for a motorcycle is so important. You don't want someone who's going to upcharge or upsell you anything. You don't have to worry at all about Century. I'm so glad I was recommended this place, at the perfect time I needed them as well. My quote was way lower than I expected for all the work I needed done. Not only did they do an incredible job, but he had my moto ready only a few days later!! Little tip, cash is always appreciated :) I had a great feeling about these guys when I first went here, they absolutely love and breath motorcycles. Also, it's hard to find a place that specializes in older bikes. So you can bring both new and vintage bikes here and know they will take care of whatever you need. read more

Badass motorcycle dealership and service repair. I had a bike that had been sitting in a garage for a couple years that wouldn't start. I have a family friend that really recommended them so I figured I'd give them a try. From start to finish, the process was very quick. He picked up the bike Tuesday night, and Thursday morning gave me a phone call that the bike was running and was ready to be picked up. Quick service, can't wait to come back. He also has sweet deals on bikes. I'll probably be back in the shop in a few days to pick up a bike for my son. Place looks like they repair dirt bikes as well which is huge. Thank you so much. Will continue coming back this place to repair all of my motorcycles. read more

My guy Tim was awesome! I'm new to the motorcycle world and he was fantastic, a true pro and an all-around great guy. I didn't do anything STUPID like jump over the counter, which should get a dumbass thrown out- he was just super cool and this is my new go-to for anything moto related...!! read more

I have never had an easier time purchasing a vehicle. From the first point of contact to the last handshake, Tim made buying a motorcycle quick, easy, and comfortable. After contacting Tim via text about the bike in question, we setup a time for me to come in and take a look. He was more than obliging and even called me the morning of the appointment to follow through. When I arrived, I knew this was going to be a great experience. The shop is chock full of beautiful bikes (from vintage rebuilds to modern rides) and oozes that old-school bike shop vibe. Tim was a straightforward and honest salesman who cares passionately about his customers and their experience at the shop. "My shop is your shop" he said after we shook hands on a great deal on a '98 Honda Magna V750. If you are looking for great service, knowledgeable staff, fair prices, and no-nonsense sales experience, go to Century Motorcycles. This is truly a special place. I know I won't be going anywhere else. read more
