Absolutely do not waste your time, your money, or your sanity with any of the other shops in town…read more I've been to most of the self-proclaimed Honda/vintage bike specialists and have been through the wars with mechanics who screwed up so many things and missed serious problems on my CB360, that Shannon is without a doubt the only dude who is allowed to touch my bike now. The exception to that rule is anyone he personally recommends. The guy he sent me to for my valve seals, for example did an amazing job and not only fixed the oil leak but got my compression back to factory spec for a ridiculously low sum. Shannon's rates are totally reasonable, his turnaround quotes are accurate, he patiently explains what needs to be done and why. He's also enthusiastic about working on your old bike the other non-vintage shops won't even touch. Bottom line is he's a smart guy who practices his craft with skill and integrity, and is cool as hell. Most importantly his work holds up. When he fixes something, you don't have to worry about it being done right. After getting condescending and hostile attitudes from too many amateurs who thought they were the Honda whisperer, I'm extremely grateful to have found SS Classics and will bring my bikes here for years to come.

If you have a vintage motorcycle or want one then Shannon at SS Classics is the guy to talk to…read more Shannon is a great mechanic, very honest and dependable... plus he loves classic motorcycles. He does everything from restorations to cleaning carbs and everything in between. My experience with him started with a tuneup and small repair to my engine case after I dropped my bike. After I had him repair my motorcycle I got in a jam on the freeway early in the morning and he drove out to get me running again as soon as I called him. Shannon definitely embodies the best qualities of a local small business owner.

Contact Mark if you need something cool done to your bike , more than likely you'll need an oil change for the kind of cool stuff Mark does.,(which he'll then do because he does not cut corners.) Always recommends best of the best products for your motorcycle. End of story this man is filled with infinite knowledge(even gave me amazing recommendations for places to check out on our s.f. trip) Get the work you've been thinking of getting from Mark and Mark only.

Thanks, Marius!

I had an amazing experience with LA Superbikes and I don't say that lightly…read more Marius is hands down one of the most honest mechanics I've ever met. In an industry where it's easy to feel taken advantage of, he was transparent, fair, and genuinely looking out for me--not just trying to make a quick buck. He took the time to explain everything, didn't upsell me on anything unnecessary, and made sure I actually understood what was going on with my bike. That level of integrity is rare. You can tell right away that Marius isn't just great at what he does--he's a great person. The kind of guy you trust immediately and know you're in good hands with. He's earned a customer for life. I couldn't be happier with the experience and I'll be sending everyone I know his way. Highly, highly recommend.

Bought a Moto Guzzi from this shop and the whole experience was excellent…read more The team was knowledgeable, straightforward, and clearly passionate about what they do. No pressure, no nonsense--just honest answers and solid guidance throughout the process. The bike was exactly as described, and you can tell they take pride in the machines they sell. What stood out most was the level of trust and transparency. They made the purchase feel easy and confident, which is not something you always get when buying used motorcycles. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a well-sorted bike and a shop that actually cares about its customers.

I do happen to ride so we decided to drop into the store to say thank you and check out the store. It has a great selection of gear, helmets, and even female rider attire. I found out from Juan that they not only service bikes, they rent them out too. I mentioned that I ride a moto Guzzi and he told me that they service that brand and have the oil filters in stock (which I did have trouble sourcing when I changed my oil earlier this year). Overall it's a great store with great employees! Thanks so much, Juan!

I've been going to Chris at Melrose Moto for the past two years, and I can't recommend him enough…read more As a relatively new rider on a Honda Rebel, I've really appreciated how generous he is with his knowledge. Chris takes the time to explain things clearly, offers thoughtful advice for new riders, and genuinely cares about helping you understand how to maintain your bike. He's always kind, professional, and his team is consistently on top of everything. Even after regular maintenance, he follows up to make sure the bike is running smoothly, which speaks volumes about the level of care and pride he takes in his work. Whether you're a new rider or an experienced one, if your bike needs service or maintenance, you can absolutely trust Chris and the team at Melrose Moto.
