Auction site is literally a Cycle Trader with bidding and zero responsibility. 1) They don't know how Escrow works even though they offer it. I wanted to ensure a safe purchase through escrow. They charged me for their escrow service, I wired the money, and without getting the title or other collateral to confirm any articles of ownership, they wired the money directly to the seller. That's not escrow. Look it up. 2) Their "partnership" with shippers is not a true partnership. I expected a date for pick up, and after asking for updates constantly every few days, was given one, which then turned in to "Well, they got some other business and have to pick the bikes up first, so you'll have to wait". That's not a partnership, and it sure as hell isn't "white glove service". 3) They don't know the state laws around title transfers. They're hands off on the titles which makes this auction site vulnerable to scams. 4) It took over three months for me to receive and title the bike I purchased, and due to their lack of knowledge around state laws, I had to run around to rectify an issue due to one state requiring a state to witness the transfer title document. So, in a nutshell, these guys use a website to connect sellers and buyers, charge you a large fee without offering any assurances to the buyer or seller to reduce/eliminate scams, and charge for a white glove service where they don't know what they are doing and brag about partnerships they don't have. The CEO jumped in the email thread around this whole issue and I offered to detail to him the above issues, but he has not responded. Purchasing parts is one thing, but I would avoid the auctions. That's a lawsuit waiting to happen. read more

Very helpful in selling my bike , these people are professionals in every way.. from service to the posting . They do what the say

The team at Iconic Motorcycles is fantastic--friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. The owner is especially cool; he gave me an in-depth tour of the Santa Monica location that really showed how much pride goes into the place. I've even bid on bikes myself (still chasing that first win!), and their site has become part of my daily routine. Whether you're buying, browsing, or just a fan of great motorcycles, Iconic is the real deal. read more

I Went in for service but got a complete diagnostic done, they worked the issue until they found a safe solution. All went well and bike is back up a running tip top shape. Actually runs better then when I went in. Thanks boys and girls. Your team is truly ICONIC! read more

Iconic Motorbikes - Two happy ladies. - Motorcycle Dealers Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I bought the owners of Iconic Motorbikes, Adam's personal 2020 Aprilia RSV4., This lemon leaked oil from the stator cover and oil pan when I first saw it in the showroom. THEY DID NOT DISCLOSE THIS in the online ad. The incompetent technician who's name is Daniel blew it off like this nothing when I brought it up and said its "seepage" from the last time he did the job. I ride it maybe 200 miles and realize its still leaking oil profusely. They then take the bike back and attempt to repair it to only not confirm their work and still have it leak oil. There was an insane amount of oil buildup on the lower fairing right below the the rear exhaust header WHEN IT WAS IN THE SHOWROOM READY TO BE PICKED UP. Iconic then took it back and attempted to fix it only to find that they did not confirm their work at all and had is still leaking after receiving it back from the SECOND TIME this technician has done this repair and then it dropped a valve and they are now telling me to kick rocks and they will not help with any repairs. Adam and Daniel(long hair, and glasses) are the worst of the worst when it comes to owners and technicians in a business, Daniel the technician who worked on my bike also had a Ducati Desmosedici Blow up after he worked on it which was told to me by the owner of the business, Adam. So they have a history of being incompetent at working on bikes which is probably why the technician works at an independent dealer now because he's so terrible at his job he can't secure a job at a dealer due to the liability being on him for incorrect repairs. They used a NON-Approved gasket(it's only supposed to be sealant) for the stator cover to "fix" it the second time, and it still leaked. Leaked so bad that a valve dropped and both the owner and service advisor told me to kick rocks. The technician is worst I've ever come across, I am a certified Porsche technician and can't imagine telling a customer to kick rocks after I couldn't reseal something TWO TIMES correctly. The first thing that was said to me by any employee was "do you have the money" a very short maybe 5'8 tall red haired individual who never bothered to introduce himself as my hand was extended ready to introduce myself. Adam then proceeded to accuse me of everything in the book as I "ran it dry on oil" even though it's been religiously in my head to check oil often as I have enjoyed subarus since I was young. The servicer advisor brian also had many contradicting statements of we cant see if faults are active or passive and told me it would only be four days after I dropped it off the second time to update me on the situation then to tell me A MONTH after dropping it off when I called asking for an update he "just got the inspection report back" a couple mins before i called. The bike was also used as a storage rack when at the dealer which I have multiple screenshots of when they do they do their "shop walk around videos" Also there were no faults indicating it was dry on oil. The owner Adam is a joke of a business man and the technician is an absolute joke of technician which is obviously why he left a dealer(previously worked at Ducati, Bmw and Suzuki, as told to me by ADAM, because he couldn't handle all of his comebacks as a dealer technician. Daniel needs to go back to UTI to learn how to properly seal something. Because of him blowing it off like it's not an issue when I came to pick up the bike. I have all the proof on video(camera on my helmet) that no faults were present on the instrument cluster when riding the bike before I heard the terrible noises that ended up in a valve dropping. I also purchased a triple tree off of facebook marketplace for my ktm supermoto and the person selling the parts said he also bought a bike from these scammers and said his ducati leaked from multiple places after picking it up and that it wasn't disclosed in the online ad. Daniel the technician is an absolute joke of a technician and the owner is even more of a joke of the incompetent technician due to his want for multiple houses across the usa and need to scam individuals to acquire these houses. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE LOSERS. DANIEL THE TECHNICIAN WHO WORKED ON MY BIKE ALSO HAD A DUCATI DESMOSEDICI BLOW UP AFTER WORKING ON IT. ABSOLUTE JOKE OF A BUSINESS. I am happy to provide all time and geo location stamped photos of this issue occurring. DANIEL is INCOMPETENT for working on bikes which is why he's had a desmosedici blow up on him only after he touched it as well as other bikes. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE ABSOLUTE SCAMMERS. O am now out 17 thousand dollars because Daniel is so bad of a tech he couldn't notice oil leaks on a job he did once before selling ADAMS personal bike. Happy to provide all pics showing how terrible of technician Daniel is and how terribly the owner of Iconic Motorbikes treated me through this entire issue. read more

I had such a great experience with Iconic's Service Dept. I had some 'bling' parts fitted and my bike detailed. Daniel was fantastic and I'm really grateful how Angel went beyond my expectations of making my bike look better than new! It's evident how passionate they all are with bikes. There is a huge array on display, all makes and models. The best thing was watching my bike being worked on via their frequent Instagram pictures and videos. I felt very connected to my pride and joy whilst in their care. I will absolutely be going back in the future. Hands down the best experience I've ever read more

Once again Iconic came thru for me when I needed tires for my Kawasaki. Great value, service and attention to detail.

First off I'd like to say I like what Iconic brings to the market, they have bikes we don't typically get to see or have easy access to. I've purchased one other bike from Iconic and had a good experience. Recently I purchased a 999 that was, I feel, miss represented by the seller. I don't think the seller was very truthful about the overall condition of the bike and I feel Iconic did a poor job vetting this listing. I take some blame in this because there wasn't the usual detail in the listing, tire dates, fuel tank picture, and the bike looked pretty dirty in the pictures, which should have been a red flag. There were many more blemishes on the bike than what the listing noted, tires were 9 years old, fork seals were leaking, valve covers leaking. There was an apparent lack of maintenance and upkeep by the previous owner. Overall very disappointed in Iconic. I moved forward with the purchase because I trusted Iconic and I feel they betrayed my trust by allowing a poor example of bike to be run through their auction site. read more

I had an MV Agusta that I needed to have cleaned up and prepped for sale. Pro Italia had been a nightmare, but then someone suggested these guys. Not only was the work reasonably priced for an Italian bike, but they actually brokered a sale for me and the whole process was smooth and easy. Lots of Agusta and Bimotas around, and other bikes you don't see anywhere else. Great shop! read more

Had my valves serviced at Iconic Motorbikes. They damaged the paint on the tank. I was supposed to get $150 in cash for compensation. When I went to pick it up, cash wasn't ready. We agreed on Paypal payment. Told Lalo I wanted it sent as a gift to avoid the Paypal fee. They sent the money incorrectly and I had to pay the fee. Tried to have them correct it, but ignored. These guys don't give you the time of day if they're not making money. You have to constantly call them for followups or you're ignored. Yeah, the fee isn't a lot, but goes to show not every customer is treated the same here. read more

Iconic Motorbikes - Motorcycle Dealers Near Me - Santa Monica, California

See all

The Motorcycle shop in Santa Monica sent me to Iconic Motorbikes in Marina Del Rey and Ricki gave me the correct mechanical advice on my vintage Yamaha that I couldn't get from other shops or on line. He seemed very knowledgeable and was kind enough to help me. Thanks very much. There were a lot of cool vintage bikes in the shop too. Tim read more

just sold my bike on Iconic and the process was really easy and the help Gray and Abhi gave me was above and beyond!!! Gray wrote up an excellent description of my bike and helped me get the right pictures for the listing. I got well over my reserve price and they cut me a check within a few days. I liked the experience so much I've listed a second bike and hope it goes as well. After trying two other online bike selling sites, Iconic is the only way to go!!! read more
