I came in here to get emissions stickers put on my motorcycle. This can only be done at Husqvarna dealers. There are not that many husky dealers in the bay area so I'm fortunate they are near me in the south bay. I worked with TJ and it was super smooth to get this all done. he took photos of my bike and proceeed to create a ticket with husqvarna USA. exactly one week later I got a phone call to come in. He was kind to put the stickers on my bike in the proper locations. The thing to note here is that this is a service where they don't make money from, but simply to help out motorcyclists. I appreciate their efforts! read more

As a habitual motorcycle buyer and lifelong deal seeker, my current search for a new bike led me to The Motor Cafe in Campbell. One of the salesmen, Dalton, answered all my messages, inquiries, and issues with professionalism and respect. Dalton helped over the course of a few days and made my shopping experience very positive overall. Zero time wasted - open and honest communication. 5 star service from sales - specifically Dalton. read more

2020 KTM 790 Cam inspection at 10k, resulted in no documented wear observed. Then at 12K Cams show significant damage/wear. Most on forums suggest not feasible. 12k tear down has no observable indication that valve covers were removed at 10k, no new silicon sealant, none of the bolts appeared to have been turned. read more

I bought my first bike here and Dalton was very helpful throughout the process. Would recommend Going here.

I purchased a 2022 Ducati Multistrada V4S Sport in September of 2022 from Munroe Motors in San Francisco. For my first service, I did some shopping around and found that Motor Café in Campbell had a lower per-hour labor rate. I went to visit their location and was so impressed by the facility. Lots of parking, a wonderful waiting area for customers, a coffee and water bar, and nice bathrooms. And of course, the staff was friendly. So I opted to take my bike there for service even though it's further away from my home. During my service, the tech noticed a slight oil weep and asked me to leave the bike at the shop so that they could fully assess the issue. My bike had never leaked oil or consumed oil. After looking over the bike they found an 'oil weep' and stated it would be covered under warranty. I arranged to leave the bike at the shop the following week. During the time it was there I contacted Ducati Corporate via their website. I was contacted right away and assured that my bike was indeed under warranty for the repair. During the entire time, my bike was at the shop, around 28 days, both TJ and Gary from Motor Café kept me updated as did Mateo from Ducati Corporate. Of course, I'd prefer if this never occurred with my bike, but I know that things happen. Experiencing firsthand a major repair by Ducati is a blessing. I now know just how well Motor Café and Ducati cover their products. Although I know this will be my last bike, if I ever did purchase another bike, I'd buy a Duck. And no, this is not my first motorcycle. A Penton, a Bultaco, a Maico, two Kawasakis, two Honda F4s, one Honda VTR and an RC51. Raced my entire life. Trained too. Crummy luck turned into a great experience. read more

Today was a great day, I just bought my third motorcycle from the Motor cafe. I can't say enough about how Dalton made the whole process stress-free, looking out for my best interest making sure that I got the extended warranty. For over ten years been going to the Motor Cafe for buying motorcycles, parts and service and my experience has always been great! A special thanks to Jose the sales manager and Dalton who did my sales contract. My ride home on my brand new Ducati Streetfighter S did not disappoint. Best James read more

Had my new KTM 390 Adventure delivered today from Brad at The Motor Cafe after waiting for the backorders from KTM due to supply shortages (pandemic) back in March 2022. I was glad that I put a deposit down to be one of the first to get a 390 Adventure. During the initial sales process Dino and Jose were both very helpful in explaining what was available and estimated delivery times. Which was hard to predict due to supply shortages. Once the 390 came in I went down to pay for the bike and it all went very well. Dino, Dalton and Frank were very helpful in getting me going (sales, extra gear and finance) and out the door. The Motor Cafe was upfront about pricing and what the sales process was. I appreciate their integrity in doing business with me. Not all motorcycle or car dealers are like that. I would recommend this company to anyone interested or looking to purchase a motorcycle. read more

Don't have a customer drop off their bike for diagnostics if you're not going to actually have a tech look at it. They told me the bike would be inspected the next day but when I called to get an update at the end of the day, I was told the earliest they could look at it would be in 5-6 days. I went down there to grab my bike and take it to another shop and the service guy asked me 5 times to just leave the bike and said they would look at it the following day. I kept saying no, then he said they'd look at it right now. I'm not in to playing games. Look at the bike when you say you will and if you can look at it when I'm there pissed and ready to take it somewhere else, then why didn't you just do that in the first place? How bad does your customer service have to be that the customer would rather drive 30 miles south to Gilroy for another shop? I live in San Jose. If you don't have a tech to look at the bike, either tell me that up front or don't take bikes to begin with unless you have a tech available. If a tech fails to show up to work, then at least inform the customer that you won't be able to do what you said you would. I brought it to Gilroy Motorcycle Center and within 15 minutes they had a tech working on the bike and the service rep was giving me updates. read more

If you looking for a Ducati, KTM, Husqvarna, go see Dino and Tony. They both are truly passionate about bikes and were very helpful and patient with the whole purchasing process. Super friendly and caring as well. I drove from Marin to San Jose instead of stopping in the city at Munroe Motors, they had given me a higher price than Dino and even if matched I still went back to Dino cuz he's just a honest guy and fair on pricing. I guess everything is more expensive in San Francisco. Well I'm super happy and finally got all my gear ready to ride! I will definitely be back for another bike in the future. read more

It is rare for me to give 5 stars but they do deserve a top rating ! I have been at Motorcafe many times, for service, parts, events, hanging out and buying bikes. The team is welcoming, competent, flexible, not pushy and always professional. They are always available for questions or for squeezing my bikes in for service last minute. There are several team members, all great. For simplicity, and brevity, shout out to TJ - Service Manager: always doing what's needed to accommodate and provide excellent client service, and Jose: Sales Manager: always candid in giving you the right suggestions and working to ensure your happy with your purchase. The rest of the team is equally great! read more

Came in looking for 2 specific bikes I've had my eyes on. First off, the guys were nice on the phone. So 2 stars for that. I was serious about buying one of the 2 bikes today but they wouldn't let me test ride it. I have my M1 endorsement. I currently ride too (and I'm not a need-for-speed person too. I love cruising.) but anyways I wasn't allowed to ride but my husband can. He's had his license for a month and barely 200 miles. I've ridden 400 and I took the safety riding courses. It's not a lot but I was confident and serious about buying one of their bikes that day. Edit** thank you to the business owner for the response. I understand the policy. But seeing as my husband was ok to ride and he has only 1 month of street experience, didn't make sense to us. Anyway, updated from 2 stars to 3 for your response. read more

I just purchased my second Ducati from the Motor Cafe, a 2023 Hypermotard SP. I drove from my home near Sacramento all the way to Campbell because my last purchase at the Motor Cafe was a good experience. Dino, my sales person again, was great to work with and made the transaction easy. The parts department was also very helpful getting me the accessories I wanted for my new bike. read more

Meh, I don't see what the fuss is about. My husband loves this place and has already purchased two KTMs from here. One electric dirtbike was given a red sticker then threatening letters requiring insurance from the DMV. They offered to resolve but still we wait for the coveted green sticker. The gas dirtbike has no sticker at all only a title. Tonight I went in there for a Christmas gift and I gotta say, the only person who treated me like someone who might be buying something is the incredibly tall sales dude. He was pretty great, the rest of the staff totally ignored me. read more

It's time to find another repair shop for my Hypermotard, Panigale, and 916. Over the past couple of years, I've put up with incomplete service visits, delayed warranty work, and misplaced replacement part ordering. This past Saturday, I was told my bill included an additional $70.00 to cover the 3% added (credit card charge). My mistake, I guess--their other customers must be carrying $$$$ when they pick up their bikes--ridiculous! read more

The store is clean, staff friendly and super knowledgeable, pricing is fair. Highly recommend!

I brought my KTM in for a 600 mile first service here. When I went to pick it up, I saw they had cracked the tail light. I went to ask the guy at the front about it and he tried to say that it came in like that. The tech overheard us and came out and said that he had cracked it during the service and apologized. Ok, whatever, things happen, especially in a busy shop during a pandemic. I'm not going to blame the tech here. The manager said they would order me a new tail light. I called them 2-3 weeks later asking what was happening, the guy at the front said he wasn't sure the order had been put in and he'd fix it. I call 2 weeks later, still nothing ("don't worry a manager will get back to you soon"). I call 2 week later, nothing. Repeat this a few times. At this point it's been 3 months. No contact, no tail light, no apology or attempt to make it up to me. Techs are nice guys, the sales guys I met seem chill but if something goes wrong, the management won't lift a finger to help you. read more

As mentioned by other reviewers, the service department not the best. They seem to have an attitude that they are doing you a favor. I got called bro and dude a few times, which is not a dealbreaker but a bit unprofessional. They forget we are the ones paying the bills. Had a service which cost me 3 times as much as an independent shop but I paid anyways as I had to get some warranty work. The warranty work they say they might not cover so I gave a little stink so they covered it. After getting the bike back, everything on my computer was reset and my grips were loose, missing ferring bolts . Not the most detailed shop so most likely will not return read more

Hello there, I just wanted to let everyone know about the excellent work and service that I have received from the staff at the Motor Cafe for the past few years now. I own a 2020 Ducati Streetfighter V4S which is an amazing bike and at times it can come with its own set of headaches which the service team has taken care of every time. I haven't had any issues with the performance or the quality of service that I received from the Motor Café. Every time I've gone in I receive excellent customer service and my motorcycle gets taken care of properly! I really do have to thank T.J. & Gary for going out of their way to help me, thank you so much. I also want to thank all the mechanics that have helped and worked on my bike, the true merchants of speed who are in the background and rarely get credit. Keeping my dream of owning one of these alive; Thank you very much! Everything about the shop is top tier, right down to the fact that you can make yourself a cup of coffee. Thanks and take care. read more

Had a pretty seamless experience with everyone while purchasing a new bike. Was especially pleased with the communication for the process with the deep knowledge my seller, Dino, provided. This is my first Ducati, and without Dino's knowledge and information on the bike, this would've been a very tough decision. They have tons of inventory, so please check them out for riders of all skill levels! read more

Friendly and professional staff willing to answer any questions. Not pushy or high pressure sales tactics. Everyone is a motorcycle enthusiast, so they like to make sure you are getting the right motorcycle for you. The purchase process went smoothly also. I would highly recommend The Motor Cafe. Much better than other shops I've been to. read more

All of the employees at Motor Cafe are friendly and helpful. I have not purchased a motorcycle from them, but they have provided excellent customer service through sales, parts, and service department. I like the fact that I can pop in and look at motorcycles on the showroom floor and no one is following me around or pestering me. They simply ask if I need help and if I say no, they retreat. I like this about this shop. When I'm ready to ask questions or discuss a bike on the floor, they are extremely helpful and zero pressure. Parts and service departments overlap and cover each others backs. I purchased parts and utilized the Service department with zero issues or hassles. They are my local dealership and I feel perfectly comfortable walking in for any reason, even if I'm not there to spend and money! read more

The best service ever. The best place to shop highly recommended. They treated me like a king. Talk dalton.

MAD PROPS to John and crew -- most likely the best mechanics in the world. I just had my 30,000 mile service done (Holy **** have I really put that many miles on?) and my lovely Streetfighter 10-9-8 is running better than when I first bought it. I hear they're moving down to Campbell in '20. So what. A longer ride? WOOHOO! I'll follow John and Motor Cafe to the ends of the Earth. Big Thanks also to Monique and Tim and others in the front office. They are all on top of their game and make customer service look like a breeze (You know it's not.) Expert work on your ride matters BIGLY -- so please, skip the Mom and Pop shops. Motor Cafe is it on a stick. read more

First off I will give shoutout to Nate and Dalton on sales team. Amazing people and supportive though out purchase experience. However the reason I give such a low rating is with their service team. They over charge you at any chance they see it. This Saturday I brought my bike to them for installing some parts. they gave me a quote of 980 dollars, said they would only charge by the hour they worked, quote is only an estimate and told me to sign it before leaving. But when I got back to pick up the bike, they asked me to pay for the exact 980 dollar (5.5 hour rate) just because I put my name on the quote. When I asked them to pull the service record it only showed sub 4.5 hours. An Ducati authorized dealer taking advantage of new riders like me is outrageous. And also they are over charging hours on all the parts they install. Avoid at all cost, not trustworthy. read more

Mixed emotions. For those first timers planning their trip here, there's plenty of more parking behind the building if you don't find one in the front. We've been here In the past and recently returned a week ago. We slept on it and knew it was time we add a Ducati to our stable so here we are. Jose and my husband has been in communication since and numbers matched. Sales Rep Stacey and Sales Manager Jose did their part, kept their promise and a hand shake delivered. All was good and they were great and easy with no push/rush. Next was Esther, finance loan, who pushed, insisted, and demanded that we purchase a 7 year warranty. We traded a bike (trade in value was competitive and met our needs-thanks Jose) with $2000 down, owing $2500. Esther informed us that there's a minimum finance of $6K cuz banks needs to make their money too (is this true? Never heard but we trust what she says). So heck, might as well use my savings and pay the bike off, right? Wrong. Esther couldn't take "no" for an answer of purchasing her 7 year warrenty which I know she gets commission for. She explained how much a Ducati cost for maintenance/problems/ "just in case"/etc. She kept insisting we save our money and just finance so we can add the 7 year warranty. To me it was a no brainer. Pay off the bike out right, go home debt free with my husband's bucket list paid for. That's a Winner My husband listened and understood what she was saying. He also knew what I was saying. With this uncompromising deal, we had to walk away. After I spoke with my husband and seen that he truly wanted this, I told him to sell me the deal. Let me hear what he had to say as I trust his decision and him. Thanks to me, cuz this deal wouldn't have happened, we went back in and sealed the deal. Esther got what she asked. I truly hope I'll be happy paying monthly on a loan of $6K+. Guess who's stuck with a bill? Anything for my husband of 27 years. Cheers to you. I swear... I better get my 25FB Airstream In 3 years. But yes, the sales people and manager were great and patient. Thanks to you guys. Thanks to Esther for initially acknowledging us first when we came in a week ago. I love seeing my husband happy and that's all that matter. He looks great on it and the Ducati looks great in our stable read more

My son and I bought two bikes from this place the first bike, Jose on financing help us out very good work very approachable they work really hard to get us a good deal, the second break that we bought Dino on sales and Dalton work really hard to get us a very good deal on the bike and a good payment highly recommend this place definitely will go back read more

This is a 5-star review - but would agree with the reviews about responsiveness and followup lacking a bit. You will need to keep on them. Call, don't email. If you can deal with that, then there is no better KTM dealer in NorCal. These guys are as good as it gets in terms of trustworthiness for the Bay Area. Lots of dealers (*cough* Monroe Motors) have been taking advantage of people by hiking up delivery and setup fees during the current supply chain shortage. I called 5 dealers who are all doing this, because they can get away with it. You will end up paying an extra $1200 in fees from most other dealers. Inversely, Moto Cafe stands out by investing in their customer relationships. They will make you a lifelong customer by not taking advantage of you at every chance they could. I worked with Dino in sales, who is a pleasure to do business with. Would highly recommend. read more

I got a 2021 ktm 500 EXC-f From here on December 17th and the process was amazing an pretty quick for me coming in an hour before they close and the best part, it was honest the sales guy who I will get his name an update the comment later he was straight up with me about my finance options nothing was hidden from me he got me a great deal, an the contract was read out loud to me an they made sure I understood each page I was signing one of the coolest transparent contract sighting I've ever been through.I took the bike out 2 times for the break in ride and the bike ran ridiculously good!! I just called today to set up my first service despite them being very busy the guy was super pleasant an helpful! After dealing with many many sketchy car an bike dealerships I confidently recommend the motor cafe! read more

Visited The Motor Cafe after talking to Tony on the phone. I called to inquire about a few bikes and he was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable and offered for me to come test ride the one I was interested in. Upon arrival he showed me around the bike and again was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and just an overall great guy. Test ride was also very extensive and allowed me to get a good ans true feel for the bike. While I didn't ultimately buy during that visit, due to an injury that I thought would feel better by now, he was extremely honest and supportive and I had a fantastic experience. Tony you're getting my business as soon as my wrist allows me to ride without pain again! read more

Went in to buy a KTM Freeride E-XC on a Saturday after calling ahead to make sure they had the model I wanted in stock. Told them no financing paying cash and when I arrived was told no personal checks. Would have been nice to know ahead of time as it was off to find a bank branch open. Dino was cool but then he was pushed aside for the sales manager who spent the next 30 minutes trying to upsell us a different bike and then a 4 year warranty on a dirt bike???? Finally got pissed and then they processed the sale. Should not have been this difficult I felt like I was at a car dealer. read more

Wanted to give a shout-out to Miss Rhonda Surber. My friend & I went into the motor cafe to browse helmets. Rhonda immediately came over to help us from her office & she was very knowledgeable about the products & extremely kind!

Thanks so much!! read more
