    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.

    Purchased a 701 Husky from this place they stayed open extra late for me to come get it . I recommend anyone looking for a bike to go see Dalton !!

    2024 Streetfighter V2!  Thanks again Jose and Nate for the excellent service!  This Ducati is amazing!

    Jose and Nate delivered excellent customer service! They were patient and worked with me to provide a great buying experience! This Ducati SFV2 exceeded my expectations.

    2022 KTM 390 Adventure

    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.

    It's home sweet home!

    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.

    My new bike.

    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.

The pro is they're one of the few dealers that sells new Yamahas around San Jose and they're open Sundays. That being said, I do not like their customer service at times. When I'm interested in a bike, they pull it out and let me see it. But there was a time I went with a bike I purchased at the dealership I always go. The employee at GP sports asked me where I got it and when I told them where, he laughed and said something like "they're not a real dealer, we're the real ones" and spoke a bit more talking down on the dealership I got my bike at. It felt very unwelcoming and uncomfortable because I felt very attacked since my choice and my motorcycle was talked down on. Don't get me wrong, they were probably joking but I always get some arrogant and cocky feel from a lot of their older employees. They feel very corporate. Another time, they showed no compassion and left it at "it's policy, we can't take in service bikes on Sunday" when my acquaintance crashed his bike right across the shop in the parking lot and wanted to leave it with them for a repair. Their service department was going to open Tuesday, and told us to tow the bike home and tow it back Tuesday. We decided to just take it home and repair ourselves. It is fair for them to have boundaries but the arrogant, "it's your fault" feel they had and con compassion made the experience very bad. I am coming from a very welcoming dealer that I believe would at least call the boss to see if they can take the bike in so I was very unpleasant. The younger employees and some other employees are very friendly and nice so it hurts to leave this review, but as a whole, it was never a great experience going there. It seems like I'm not the only one since I hear bad things about them, and you can read the other reviews for yourself :(

I came in prepared to make multiple purchases and, frankly, left confused by the entire experience. My time is limited. I run a business and manage private investments, so when I shop for vehicles, I generally know what I want, have a budget established, and am prepared to buy. I was looking for three machines: 1. A Can-Am Canyon Redrock -- budgeted around $36,000. 2. Either a 125th Anniversary Indian Chief or a black Chief Bobber -- around $24,000. 3. A Challenger Dark Horse with the PowerPlus 112, preferably blue, that I can eventually set up with a sidecar for my service dog -- around $35,000. I had made sure I had approximately $100,000 available so that if the right machines and numbers were there, I could simply pay cash and get it done. I arrived shortly before closing, and the salesperson was friendly, but surprisingly unfamiliar with the Can-Am Canyon. I actually had to point the Canyon out on a poster because he initially didn't think they carried it. When I asked about the Redrock trim, there was additional confusion because he thought I was asking for something other than a Canyon. I was looking for a Canyon Redrock. They didn't have the motorcycles I wanted, which isn't anyone's fault. We did, however, work numbers on the Canyon. They came back at roughly $38,000. I countered at $35,500. Instead of countering or trying to find a number that worked, I was essentially told to "come back when you're ready to buy." That was the part I couldn't understand. I was ready to buy. In fact, I kept trying to close the deal. It was one of the strangest sales experiences I've had because I felt like I was the salesperson trying to overcome the dealership's objections. I didn't expect them to accept every number I offered. Negotiating is part of buying a vehicle. I expected a counteroffer, a conversation with a manager, or some effort to find common ground -- particularly when I was potentially looking at purchasing three machines. Instead, I left. The salesperson was nice, and I don't have anything personally negative to say about him. But being willing and financially prepared to spend close to $100,000 and leaving because I couldn't get the dealership to actually sell me something was a very strange experience. At this point, I'll most likely bought the Canyon from another dealer over the phone when I was still in their parking lot and will probably get the Indians through another dealer.
