Dave and his crew have been our EXCLUSIVE scooter repair team for a VERY LONG TIME!! Dave has been fixing our scooters since before Katrina, and is the ONLY PLACE will take our scooters for repair and upkeep. Their prices are reasonable, their reliability stellar and their knowledge of keeping a scooter running is unmatched, in my opinion. If you own a scooter you need to get to know FX. You will eventually thank me! read more

Fx Motorsports - FX new location on Magazine St. - Motorcycle Dealers Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Buyer beware With FX recommended by Moto Julia for working on older BMWs, I bought what I thought to be a good deal from a good mechanic. I believed I was purchasing the exact bike I had been searching for; turned out to be quite the project bike I didn't really want. I currently kind of feel stuck with a money pit of a motorcycle that Dave said was good, ready to go, and he would ride across the country as is... I soon learned to consider it unsafe in the condition it was and have found multiple roadside stranding type issues since purchasing. It has been stranded in my driveway more than once with, intially, an officially tested bad, failed battery and then a completely worn out starter motor. I was able to get it running again for a few hundred dollars in replacement parts, and a lot of work on my part. These are not the only problems I have been finding but the only ones that left the bike unable to start at all. I am hopefully only looking at around $2k to get it to where I think I can ride it to British Columbia and back, like I did on one of my former older in far from perfect type of shape BMW bikes. The point is I'm having to work and spend $ on this bike a lot more than I'm riding it when I was told it was good to go as is... Be very careful and know what you are doing or bring someone who does. I'm uncovering more and more issues with and cheap parts installed in this bike as I get work on the other potential problems, that I had voiced concerns about when I was buying it (that Dave said were normal charateristics for this type of motorcycle to have). #1 was slack in drivetrain - which may or may not need serious repair - some owners online have said they have lived with "the drive clunk" for many miles on their R1150 models - others have rebuilt shaft, bearings, and splines throughout the drivetrain to remedy, = $$$ Beware of vehicle purchases without clear mechanical certainty of what you are buying. Be thorough and don't let your excitement get the better of your judgement. Really inspect every detail when purchasing from here and don't take their word for it just because they are mechanics. I do like the bike and believe I can eventually fix all its issues I'm discovering but I probably won't be using Fx to do any more of the work on it. The repairs I did have done there were grossly underestimated, and I was charged 12hrs at $119.00/hr instead of the quoted 4-6hrs. Otherwise, Dave is very friendly and helpful, as is the woman working the front desk. Going by other reviews, maybe they are better with the scooters but I don't advise going there for BMW repairs/service. read more

I was passing through NOLA and needed a new tire that very day. FX Motorsports had a suitable tire in stock and squeezed me in to do the installation right away. Fair price and VERY pleasant people to do business with. read more

I've been using FX for over ten years now and I always receive friendly and competent service! My front tire started losing air recently so I brought my scooter in for service. The tire was installed by FX over a year ago and I thought it had a puncture so I requested replacement. The tire simply needed an adjustment which they did free of charge. I purchased the REAR tire from them SEVEN years ago which also received an adjustment that day. This was also free of charge. All of this was done within hours of dropping it off. FX knows how to take care of their customers! Thank you!! read more

FX motorsports is my go to place for scooter repairs. I have gone there several time for various reasons. My scooter is kind of unique and Dave has always been able to fix whatever issues I have. The shop is located on Magazine St Uptown. They are only open during business hours, about 8-4, so be sure to call during those times. My biggest concern with FX is that sometimes they take awhile to do repairs. My scooter is my only means of transportation so being without it for multiple days is not easy. read more

Fx Motorsports - Scooters - Motorcycle Dealers Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The owner Dave is super nice, incredibly knowledgeable, and exceedingly helpful. I pulled up a few minutes ago to ask if I could get air in my scooter tires and he moved his truck out the way, went inside his workshop and pulled out the air hose and filled my tires up. It turned out I had known him from back when I got my first scooter, right after Katrina. He used to work at a scooter place down in the LGD. He remembered me before I recognized him, but as soon as he pointed out our history I remembered how amazing he was. I have a Vespa 300cc now and I am tired of taking it down to the expensive place I bought it from (on Julia St.), so from now on I'm bringing it to Dave's new place on Magazine St. Dave is a happy, helpful, hard working guy. And I'd rather be his customer than any other scooter place around town. I'm SO glad I popped into his place today! read more

I've used them twice now and they are just so dang nice and their prices are super reasonable! I thought for sure this time I was going to have major problem with my scoot and it was going to be hundreds of dollars to fix but it was something simple. I really appreciate the honestly because I would never have known and certainly paid whatever I was told. It's nice to know there are decent people/businesses out there like the guys at FX. I'm a fan for life!! read more

I brought my Yamaha Bolt for some work this past week. I dropped the bike off on a Friday morning and while I waited for my ride (during a very hot day) I was offered some bottled to keep cool. Needless to say as it was Friday, in the middle of summer, I was not expecting them to even get a look at my bike until Monday. A few hours later I got a call saying the work was done and at a reasonable price. What I really liked about FX was that I felt like a valued customer not a burden. Thank you FX! read more

Great to work with Fx. The whole crew is very friendly and responsive. I will certainly be bringing my scooter to Fx in the future again. Excellent service, reasonable prices, and good follow up. Glad I found Fx! read more

FX Motorsports are great I've been dealing with them years now, the staff is great and they have gone above and beyond for me. Get my service done there and have bought a couple bikes from them. Love the Vespa I just bought from them. read more

This is the highlight of the review: RED SPARKLY HELMET. Here's the rest: Upon Jen B.'s stellar recommendation, the lover and I dropped by Fx to pick up a helmet before he takes his motorcycle class. The helmet will ultimately be mine because the scooter it goes with (a 2008 Yamaha Vino 125) is also mine. I knew we were walking into a a large, un-air-conditioned garage that could do all kinds of things to all kinds of scooters. I haven't tested this part, but there was a wall of helmets at the back that caught my attention right away. Dave in the office immediately grabbed the shiny red one that I was practically drooling on, popped it on my head, and complimented me on how cool it looked. He also verified that the fit was right, which is more important than looking cool. The helmet was cheaper here than it would be anywhere else in the city, too. Bonus! I can't wait to bring my scooter here for tune-ups and general care. Knowing I won't be ripped off or treated poorly for having a scooter at a garage that also services motorcycles is a real treat. Accessibility notes: warehouse can be loud and dim. No Braille signage. Gravel outside the shop. read more

The people at Fx Motorsports at top notch. From the friendly receptionist to the highly skilled techs. This is my "go to" motorcycle shop for all my service and parts needs. From Kenner to the Westbank to New Orleans East you won't find a more knowledgeable Krew. Thanks David and family for taking care of my Yamaha Xt 250 and my Suzuki DRZ 400 for 9 years . read more

Great group of mechanics that focus on what matters. All the other shops wont work on my bike because it's older than 10 years, WTH! I dont think a shadow 600 is a dinosaur, and neither should you. They can find the parts the dealers won't bother looking for. Way cheaper too! Their showroom may not be full of bikini posters and futuristic flying motorcycles, but it does have reasonably priced fuel injected scooters for a 1/3 of retail pricing. read more

FX Motorsports does it all and is very professional with your repairs. On top of that they keep you in the know, telling you what they think your scooter might be within seconds of hearing your story. They keep a strong line of communication, are very knowledgeable with what they do, and even give you pointers for things to look out for further out. The price also feels a helluva lot more fair than other locations in new orleans. I've jumped back and forth between shops, however every time I pick a different locale I'm disappointed. As of today I'm FX all the way! read more

David, Tom & Jeff. 3 great guys who REALLY do know how to handle any motorcycle issue you may have. Parts .... David gets me anything fast. My DRZ 400 had a "Ghost in the machine". Tom re jetted my carburetor - properly and I'm riding for the weekend. Nice work and Cheers to everyone at FX Motorsports. I will always use this shop. read more

I deal with FX Motorsports on a fairly regular basis, and always find them professional and consistent. They know their stuff and are straight talking too. No messing around. I've also seen the patience they need, and use, a lot with some of the more trying types of customers. If only I could buy some of that to use in my own job ;) I would have no problem recommending FX to anyone. read more

I don't know whether the other reviewers know nothing about motorcycles or I was just unfortunate to have had three successive bad experiences with FX but I just can't recommend this place. They are badly managed, unprofessional and borderline scamming thieves. First, they have no consistent guideline for how much they charge. Talk to one employee and he'll give you a different price than the next for the same job. And not just a couple of bucks more; I'm talking about $50 to $75 more per $100. Unacceptable. If this were the only problem with the establishment, it could be passed as just bad organization of the cost of their labor, or lack of expertise by the mechanics regarding the true costs of some repairs. However on 2 consecutive occasions, the work that was supposed to be done was either unnecessary as I learned after the facts, only half done or flat out not performed at all. Why am I paying you for if I need to fix it myself when I get home? FX Motorsports have all the red flags of scam artists mechanics: 1. no clear pricing guidelines 2. lying about work needed in order to squeeze every last dollar out of their customers 3. and the worst: lying about performing work so you have to come back and and let them stick their hands in your wallet again. Avoid them at all costs. read more

I have had several my motorcycle and several scooters serviced by these guys over the past 5 years. They are always pleasant and easy to deal with. They have done a good job and been reliable on everything. I used their pick up service to get my bike today and they saved me some time that way. I think you get just slightly more than you pay for here. They are not as polished as a BMW dealership but they don`t need to be. I am always happy to go here because I know I get my bike back running in great condition. read more

I really can't say enough good things about these guys. I've been getting my service done by them every since I started riding, about a year and a half ago. As long as these guys are still around, I would never look to bring my motorcycle anywhere else in the city. I've been on a tight college kid budget, but all of the employees at Fx Motorsports have worked with me to make sure I could get the service I needed at prices I could afford. They also offer bike pickup for $60, which is unbeatable if you are in a jam. Overall, I've never had an issue persist after getting it taken care of at Fx. Not only are they great mechanics, but they will take the time to explain to you what's really going on, so you can learn more yourself. read more

Have a weird vintage bike? Take it it FX motorsports. They're the only place in town that doesn't shy away from (or mess up) old bikes. They're helped me with my '82 Honda Passport C70 and my far more normal '96 Honda Rebel 250 many times. They're pretty fast, friendly, and reasonably priced. read more

I cannot begin to tell you how helpful Dave and the folks at FX were. I was passing through New Orleans on a major motorcycle journey when my bike suffered a catostrophic meltdown. Dave took my bike in first thing on Monday morning and immediately went to work determining the problem. He helped arrainge transportation when my bike needed to be shipped to a certified dealer for warranty repair saving me a world of stress and agrivation. He was honest, straight forward and did all he could to get me back on the road. I'm extremely appreciative for all the help I received from the guys at FX. read more

Great staff and service. Dave is always trying to help a customer find what they need while Tom can fix just about anything. I have had my 2-stroke in there a few times and it has always been prompt and courteous service. It is always a pleasure to do business with them. read more

These guys are great! They've fixed my scooter and motorcycle so many times it's absurd. They are always so nice when I ask all my questions and have saved my ass so many times it's incredible. When my bike was stolen they played a big hand in helping me find it, then fixed everything. Excellent service and very sound advice. read more

I took my scooter to FX and they called me the next day to let me know what was wrong with it, exactly how much it would cost, and when the parts would be in. I got a phone call exactly when they said it would be ready, and the price was exactly what they said it would be. I can't say the same for my experiences at other scooter shops in the city... I'm very pleased with my experience at FX. read more

I bought a Scooter today, and David was one of the best salesmen i've had in a long time. He took the time to help me get everything straight and explain everything to me since this was my first time on a scooter, helped me talk to a guy for insurance and even went over some basic maintenance with me. I was worried about getting a scooter but he alleved all my fears. read more

This is my very favorite business in all of New Orleans. David the owner is an awesome dude, and he has a great crew along with him. Their diagnoses are on point, they won't try to sell you stuff you don't need, and their prices are more than fair. On multiple occasions, they've kicked the tires (proverbially speaking) and made little adjustments to my scooter (110cc Honda Elite) without any charge. I've taken my Scooter here for years and wouldn't dream of venturing elsewhere. It's great to have businesses you can trust, especially when whipping around town on two wheels. read more

I have been taking my scooter to FX for 6 years. I have always felt like they did a great job and were fair in their pricing. the only reason that I am giving them four stars instead of 5 is because they are closed on Saturday. If you work during the week, this is a pain. as for Saturday appointments, I have asked many times if it would be possible to drop it off on a Saturday and have always been told no. aside from that, great shop and I do recommend them to people. read more

I bought a used Honda Ruckus here. I got a great deal and they really took care of me with a repair issue. Couldn't recommend them more highly. This is a really cool, old school motorcycle shop with lots of scooters and motorcycles for sale too. You'll find some old scoots and motorcycles for sale here. They can fix anything. Good people. read more

This place is great. Really nice guys that do honest work for an honest price. Really lucky to have such a quality shop in my hood.

I LOVE FX. Always friendly and helpful. The staff is always helpful and has a large supply of inventory

Excellent customer service! Everyone is looking out for the best interest of me and my bike. This rare honest customer service has me constantly returning to FX for all my concerns. I love David and his team read more

Wish I could give negative stars on this one! Brought my bike in because it stopped working. They charged me over $900 and said that they'd fixed the problem along with adding a new set of tires. Paid that over the phone. It took some time for me to pick up my bike because I work out of state. Right before I scheduled to pick my bike up, they informed me that they tried to test drive my bike and it wouldn't start. That's why I had it towed in the first place! I'm assuming they'd diagnose the problem again and we'd go from there. I receive a call back saying that I now needed to replace my engine and that would cost over $1k. Mostly including labor. Because they'd have to take everything apart again. I was confused as to why I would have to pay for the same labor twice. The bike had never left their shop. Yet, I was being charged double labor cost for a problem that should have been diagnosed the first time when I brought the bike in. Would have been ok if they said that I was being charged a storage fee. I can understand that. The bike had been there a while because I was out of town on business. At that point I just didn't want the bike and would rather get a new one. They offered to pay me for the bike. I'm thinking we'd negotiate a fair price. As I just handed over $900 to them to fix my bike and it was still idled. I would have been ok with him just reimbursing me the $900 dollars and I would have just handed over the title. Basically free bike for him that he'd already done some work on. Instead, he offers to only reimburse me for the new tires that they'd put on in the amount of $140. I was livid at that point. Declined his insult offer and had my bike towed from FX. Took my bike to another shop. They informed me that I didn't even have a battery in the bike. Contacted FX they gave me a new battery. But I'm just confused as to what all they did to my bike. Where was my other battery? They basically took over $900 from me, and my bike left their shop in the same condition it arrived. In tow! Prior to this incident, I highly recommended FX to all my scooter friends. I believe they just took advantage of me. BEWARE of their scam $ game. After sharing my story with others, I'd realized that I wasn't the only person that they'd screwed in business. read more

These guys go out of their way to provide the best solution to your problem. I had a motor blow out on my Ruckus and Dave found a used one from a friend, drove to his house, picked it up, installed it in my scooter and I've put another 5000 miles on it and its running great. Saved me at least a thousand dollars on that one repair. read more

this place is so amazing! i brought in my scooter with a busted tire and a bent rim on lundi gras. they were closing in two hours but they fit me in and did a fantastic job. David helped me and was so lovely. he gave me lots of tips on checking the tires and the price was totally reasonable! this is now my go to shop and it should be yours too. i wont go anywhere else for my scooter! FX Motorsports is the best! Happy Mardi Gras! read more

This is a great business! These guys are nice, up front, and really know what they are doing. They give it to straight, don't try to sell you stuff you don't need, and have great prices. They even tell you if it's better to fix something yourself, and they are great for parts. Wouldn't go anywhere else in New Orleans! read more
