I've been bringing my bikes to Manny for years, and every experience has been exceptional. When I owned my 1983 Honda Magna, Manny and his team consistently provided outstanding service. Now that I ride a 2006 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic, the level of service remains just as impressive. What I appreciate most is Manny's expertise and willingness to take the time to explain any issues with my bike. His team is knowledgeable, professional, and always fair with their pricing. It's clear they genuinely care about their customers and the quality of their work. If you're looking for a trustworthy shop with excellent service and reasonable rates, I highly recommend Manny and his team for all your motorcycle maintenance and repair needs. read more

Congratulations, you no longer have to keep searching for a mechanic, THIS is the place to go! I recently moved here from California and my 10+ year old Vespa needed some parts replaced and a full service. Their prices were very reasonable in comparison to every other place I called and my Vespa has honestly never run better. All the people I worked with were extremely kind and professional. read more

Speed has been my go-to spot for moto work for the past 3 years. Manny always has a smile for me but more importantly as a younger female who rides, never tries to mansplain (while being informative at the same time) and never tries to upsell me. He's always straight to the point, always says no problem to a job, and is quick and efficient with his time estimates. Initially I found them because they were the closest reputable shop near me but should they should have to move, I'll gladly make the trip out for their service. read more

I have been using Speed Cycle since they were located in the South Bronx. Followed them out to Astoria. They have always done a great job, took care of my bike and never over charge. I would not go anywhere else. read more

In 2015 I brought in my engine off my 2002 R6 for a top end overhaul. I also brought in my front forks off the same motorcycle as I was in the process of rebuilding my bike and needed some extra help. My forks, which had never been serviced before were in need of a total rebuild. I waited to post this review until now because now the motorcycle is running. I can say that my entire experience with this shop was the best I have ever had. These guys were willing to work with me and did a fantastic job! My bike stated up the first time after I finished it and the engine runs better now then before... My front forks when I got them back looked bran new... The work these guys put out is awesome. What I appreciated most was how willing they were to work with me... Like most of you, my bike is very important to me, but I felt I could trust this shop. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for work or repairs to be done to give these guys a try, I promise you will not be disappointed. I have included a picture of my bike fully restored and running as proof of the work these guys did. I will be definitely going back there in the future for anything I need! read more

It's always a challenge to find a great mechanic who is both honest and competent. After a lot of research and do diligence, I felt lucky to find Manny and the staff at Speed Motorcycle Repair. I own several different bikes both in New York and California. These guys have a ton of experience and don't give you the run around. Really appreciate their work ethic and ability to answer questions regarding repairs, parts and accessories. This particular service was for a classic Honda Shadow cruiser I purchased on eBay and had been riding for a year. Got a full tuneup, front suspension, chain and sprocket replacement. They are not cheap but they are definitely fair and you get more than what you pay for. Looking forward to bringing in my other bikes. read more

Yep. This is the place. They took excellent care of my bike. They replaced my starter and some other parts. Fast. Courteous. Professional. Affordable. No gimmicks. No nonsense. Just good solid work. Easily accessible. I am so happy with Speed Motorcycle. My ride is in excellent hands here. I feel completely comfortable and confident that they can handle anything my bike needs and handle it with care. It feels good to know I have my go-to motorcycle shop. Now I can go get those upgrades I've been thinking about for the longest! read more

I was looking for a reliable motorcycle repair shop with fair prices. I was skeptical of most local shops because reviews were 50/50 and it was hit or miss. Everyone is definitely expensive. I chose this place over cycle therapy/Kawasaki dealer, and a local Bronx repair shop on Jerome. These guys treat your bike like it's theirs. I got my rear suspension and front fork springs done here. Absolutely happy with my bike. 2020 Z900 Kawasaki. I will continue to do scheduled maintenance and bring other customers. Show up early and be prepared to possibly leave your bike overnight for tougher jobs. It's better they take their time and do it once. read more

Came here to replace a front tire ($95) and wheel bearing ($45). I could tell when walking in the owners were genuine and cared about your bike. They allowed me to bring in my own parts (shipped via Revzilla for tire and Ebay for bearing) with no issues and it took about a day (in December). I was impressed they took care of my muffler that was hanging on by a thread on their own, free of charge. Will return and if the service is the same I will bump it up. Manny is a good dude and thus far I wouldn't go anywhere else. EDIT: Forgot to mention they noticed my clutch cable needed to be lubed so they took care of that as well for free. Solid service. read more

I did my motorcycle inspection there. I stoped at the shop less than 10minutes. Clean job with the sticker. read more

I have a 2006 custom Harley chopper with an auto clutch and jockey shift. I needed fork seals for a custom fork, new battery box, BDL open belt shaft bearing ring, auto clutch repair, and the usual fluids, and tires. I had put off doing the work, because I could not find anyone who knew about the auto clutch, and was sure no-one would find the out of production fork seals. I took a chance on Speed Motorcycles, since my go to shop had closed. I got a good feeling when I first met Manny and Willie. Let me just say, I really felt like family when I picked up the bike today. The added detailing they do, made the bike look better then new. Willie worked on the bike over several weeks, tracking down fork seals from Italy, tearing apart the auto clutch, calling BDL to get information on the best repair process, decided to take the carburetor apart and found some much needed work to do. Best of all he takes photos of all the procedures and the repairs needed. I think they were sad to see the bike leave, they had put so much love into it, and you don't find that anywhere else. The knowledge Willie has of Harleys is mind blowing, especially old school bikes like mine. I have to say this is the best money I have spent on my bike since I had it rebuilt in 2008. If you decide to form a relationship with this shop, you won't regret it. I must tell you good work takes time, and if you think you are going to get a rush job done for your sake, then look elsewhere, Manny and Wille do not cut corners for the sake of time. I plan on a long association with Speed Motorcycles. read more

I've been coming to Speed for years, and today picked up my bike from their new location for the first time. They always treat me right and go above and beyond my expectations. Their work is top notch, reasonably priced, and always looking out for you. I've never hesitated to recommend these guys and have never heard back anything but praise from my riding buddies. I will continue to be a loyal customer for as long as they are around! read more

Just picked up my gs500 from manny and willie and they got the job done. Brought the bike in to service the carbs, change a gasket and get some electrical bugs sorted. Overall the bike is running how id expect now. Service took a while but that was mainly for the parts to come in. Over the phone they might seem inattentive and rough, BUT theyre busy guys and have a lot of work to do which youll see from the large number of bikes theyre working on. In person theyre much better so definitely dont let their phone skills sour you. For price it ended up being what I expected and fair. Overall good shop. Manny and Willie are solid. Thanks speed. read more

There are certain type of people you need to be friends with in life and your motorcycle mechanic is one of them. Of course that's dependent on them being incredibly honest, trust worthy and not looking to put their kids through college by overcharging their customers for every nook and cranny. I've been going to them for nearly twelve years and never not once have they ever let me down. Not only do they do professional work but they're timely and they show their customers every single thing they do. These guys are kind, honest and truly good people. How good are Manny and Willie? My Triumph has broken down in Long island and I have opted to leave it on the side of the road until the next day when a tow was available who was willing to bring the bike all the way out to Speed in the city. I refuse to allow anyone but those guys work on my bike. They are simply the best. read more

They've moved to 517 East 132nd St. Fantastic alternative to the dealer. Customer-focused. Honest. Oh... And they're pricing seems to be based on how long it actually takes them rather than some incredulous figure out of a pricing manual. I had them do some custom work on my '14 Bonneville which I couldn't do myself. It was completed the same day, and was a very clean job. To get there and back from Manhattan: It's a short walk to the subway, so dropping off the night before and picking up the next day is entirely possible if their workload allows. read more

Speedy is the best.... I've had scooters for years and been to many shops and since getting a vespa in NYC the main shop was not even worth going to... crazy waits, couldn't tell me when it could be done, super expensive quotes. Speedy's I was able to work it out that I drop my bike off and pick it up at lunch or after work. I used to work on my scooter myself and although I'm no professional mechanic I appreciated them figuring out my problems right in front of me and showing me the broken part in seconds after I had my bike torn apart in the rain for hours. Also great deals . 10/10. If you have a vespa / scooter 100% this is the spot read more

Took my 77 Kawasaki to Manny yesterday to have clutch and suspension work done. He fixed it in an hour AND told me to make sure I check this that and the other. This bike and shop CARE about is customers and their bikes!! read more

BEST SHOP IN NY. Incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and honest mechanics. Its worth the trek from Brooklyn, even since they moved to the Bronx. read more

I had a great experience with Speed Motorcycles. Great customer service and excellent work. I'd heard about their shop and great reputation and decided to try it even though I live much closer to other shops in Brooklyn. Absolutely worth the travel-- my bike (Triumph Bonneville t100) has never sounded better. I also appreciate that they're open at 8:30 am and close at 6. I can get to their shop before work or even make it there after work-- other shops seem to open too late and close earlier-- which never seems to work for my schedule. This is the only shop I'll take my MC from now on - I'd recommend it to anyone. read more

Ive been thru 6 or 7 assorted bikes in my life, always requkring work. I found these guys about 8 years ago. I wouldnt go anywhere else. Honest, reliable, and fair Steven b read more

Used to be a nice guy, not sure what happened. rude on the phone, and overall lack of communication in the process of getting the bike fixed. Didn't bother to tell me about new and somewhat inconvenient location when I recently needed to bring my bike in. have spent my share of money there, expect a bit more customer service. Looks like I'll be going elsewhere in the future. read more

Bought bike in for repairs from an accident. 6 weeks later, the bike still needs work. The bike isnt running well, used cheap parts for repair, and I still cant figure out what took so long. Also, not very friendly on the phone so I didn't know what was going on with the bike. I've needed to take the bike to another shop to fix their repairs. I did add a star though, because the prices were great, but you get what you pay for. read more

I made the grave mistake of buying a bike off the 'bay and it looked great in pics, but when received it had leaking forks, the idle was off and running rich and after a few months of riding it, the rear brake cylinder failed as well as the front brake pistons were corroded. i'm surprised I am even alive writing this because I was riding a death trap. Thank you to Manny and company at Speed Moto for taking my bike in and giving it a full overhaul. It took a while to find the parts for a 75 cb 750f but they got the work done eventually and I cannot even recognize this bike. It seems like they tacked on a different engine. It is more responsive at the throttle, has better handling due to the new springs in forks, and it brakes on a dime. No longer do I fear for my safety on this bike. I just have to worry about the crazy NY cabbies cutting me off now... read more

These guys are the freaking best. Some lady backed into my bike, and after my battle with insurance Willie took care of my repairs. He worked with me during the process and was very patient - a month and a half later when I was ready to get everything fixed he had it done in a day. I second what those before me have said about them being meticulous and taking care of you - can't recommend them enough read more

Just had headlights installed at this place and now my bike is messed up and the owner Manny wont take responsible. My whole bike is loose and the alignment is off. Now i have being it to another place hopefully that isnt shady to fix it. Beware of this place. He also claims 22 years of experience but took 2 days to change headlights, "very experienced". read more

Manny and Willy are truly amazing. I would not let anyone else in the city work on my bike., They are honest and fair and really know their stuff. Last year I had a problem with my bike where it was not running smoothly and when I closed the throttle when leaving the highway, it afterburned and stalled a few times. Not fun. They tuned my bike and after that it runs again like a dream. Today I went in for my annual safety check/sticker and I also inquired about my front shocks which I have been finding a bit spongy. They looked at it and indicated that the shocks were soft and recommended a spring replacement. He also indicated that it would be better for me (read cheaper) if I would purchase the springs online and then have them mounted. This knocks of about $40 of the whole repair. He told me which type of spring to purchase and where. BTW I also googled my bike and a generic complaint was that the stock springs in the front suspension are generally causing complaints. And indeed most people recommend to use the replacement springs that they also recommended. This gives me the idea that they are spot on and honest. So I can only highly recommend them. And their shop is always full!! Mind, they recently moved to 84th street but at their previous address they already had a very large amount of excellent reviews. That is why I picked them in the first place. Mark Yamaha V-Star 650 custom 1995 read more

I went over here on a Saturday after 10a, and they were closed. No sign on the door, no notice on their website. I called and someone answered, then hung up. Great way of doing business... read more

The only honest and reliable shop in Manhattan. They do great work and treat customers well. Do not go anywhere else.

Excellent shop. The guys are knowledgable and do quality work. I've been going to the shop for years and they have done everything from routine fluid changes to repairing my bike after someone backed up onto it when getting out of a parking spot. read more

Highly recommended. Very honest and friendly mechanic. I know nothing about my motorcycle, brought it in with a dozen concerns, they reassured me on all fronts and recommended doing very little to the bike. I think some mechanics would have taken me for a ride. Got my inspection done and some minor tune ups for a very reasonable price. Completed the job, same day in 30 minutes. read more

These guys are the best!!!! I was concerned the move way up town would make it a PIA to get to from battery park city and it turns out, IT'S EASIER to get to than 84th & 93(?) where they used to be. They always do right by me and go the extra mile. Honest, trustworthy, great advice & service. Oh yeah, very reasonable pricing. Only a selfrighteous a$%&*)( who thinks they know more and can do a better job, cheaper & faster themselves would leave less than 5* feedback. They just did a quick fix/replacement for me. A+++ Thank you as always Manny & crew. Hopefully I don't have to see you often but if I need work, it all goes to you! read more

Excellent shop. These guys are very skilled, thorough, and trustworthy. I've been to all the shops in Bronx, Manhattan, and Queens, and am happy to call this one MY motorcycle shop. read more

I very rarely write reviews but it's so important to find good honest mechanics that I want to do everything possible to support these guys. They used to be located in Manhattan but were squeezed out like most small businesses by exorbitant rents. Their new location however is really convenient, just over the Willis avenue bridge by bike or take the #6 to Brook Ave. less than 10 minutes from Manhattan. My current ride is a 2003 Suzuki SV 650 which Manny and Willie have kept in like new condition for over a decade. They do high touch, high quality, honest and reasonably priced work with a smile. And they have no problem with you buying parts online and having them shipped directly to their shop; to get just what you want at the best price you can find. After a recent inspection Manny told me I was ready for a new set of tires, so I had a set of Pirelli Angels shipped from Revzilla direct to Speed and rode out with a new pair of shoes in a couple of days, what a breeze. read more

Took my bike in for a tune-up and they did a great job. It took the mechanics a couple of weeks to get to my bike which was a little frustrating but once I finally got the bike back I was very happy with the work that was done and the attention to detail. Would definitely come back even though I live in Brooklyn much closer to other reputable shops. read more

I cannot recommend Manny, Willy and Speed Motorcycle Repair highly enough! I worked with them when my boss had his 1999 Confederate repaired. They were professional all the way. As most know, Confederates are not the easiest bikes to work on. Not only are Manny and Willy extremely knowledgeable AND extremely talented, they were always friendly, patient and forthcoming relative to keeping me informed about the delivery dates of parts, etc. They are not just mechanics. They are artists, and very cool, honest, hard-working businessmen. I like and respect them personally; very much appreciate them professionally; and will go to them for any future repair needs. They are the best!!!! read more

Very honest guys. He didn't charge me extra as he figured out an unexpected problem, then he fixed another problem that I knew about, but didn't bother to fix, for free. My first time taking my Vespa there and they were awesome. read more
