    Bettencourts or Brockton Cycle Center

    Anyone do business with either of these places? I'm thinking of buying either a Kawi ZX6R or a Honda CBR600 and thes eplaces are right down the street from one another. I'm interested in support after the sale, warantee work, service dept, etc.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    I have purchased and have have service and gotten parts from Bettencourts with no issues. I like to deal with BIG Dave from Parts and Tim R. for Service.

    I purchased a leftover 2007 CBR1000RR from Bettencourts and they were great. They even brought the price of the bike down when I told them I saw the same bike for less somewhere else.

    This sums it up well. I've been to both many times. If you're liking the Honda, try Weymouth Honda as well. Right at the route 3 / route 18 interchange.

    Re: Bettencourts or Brockton Cycle Center

    maybe cause you were there in 07 and trying to get a deal on a left over 06 which is the same thing exact thing as a 07. Now that the 2008-2010 CBR1000rr's (which are a completely redone model then ours)are out these bikes (06-07) are 3-4 years old and still sitting there taking up space. Thats prob why he got a deal

    Chuck got his as a leftover.

    Bettencourts is in my book. Haven't had the pleasure of dealing with them all that much, but history has proven them to be some damn good peoples.

    probably because 1/2 of them are pissed about their commute when SS Motor Sports closed

    I've had no problems dealing with Brockton CC. They have been extra helpful in fact.

    Re: Bettencourts or Brockton Cycle Center

    bettencourts is cool for parts and stuff A+ from me. But ill never go there again for an inspection. Guy failed my rc51 for flush mounts, fender eliminator all which passed no problems at Brockton cycles. I stay away from Brockton Cycles for parts though, they dont seem to care other then making a buck.

    Re: Bettencourts or Brockton Cycle Center

    If those were the only two to choose from Id go to Bettencourts for a bike first. They have always been helpful and very easy to deal with. I like Brockton Cycle better for gear only because they seem to have a bigger selection in the store and its better organized.

    Just to toss another place into the mix. Not exactly close about 2 hours away but Cycle Design is another good place to get a bike. Its where I got my last one. Easy to deal with. I dont know if my contact is still there anymore which is a lot of the reason I went there but Id still give them a look.
