Fun fact: when you google "joessportbikes" this forum post is the second link in the list. Might explain the newbies that show up and don't stick around.
FWIW, the only dealer I've truly enjoyed was Second Wind and I haven't bought a bike from a dealer since. I appreciated their honesty and the way I felt they went above and beyond whether they got a sale or not...but they're no longer in business so maybe that's not how you stay profitable as a dealer in the motorsports industry![]()
I’ve had good experiences with salespeople, not dealerships. There was a great guy who worked at Derry Cycle who I bought a bike from, and then he went to Naults. But other experiences at Derry cycle and naults have been trash. And I bought a bike from plaistow powersports, and the salesman was awesome, and a service guy was good, but the rest of my experience has been weak. Freddie at monarch is cool.
Your park avenue leads to..
In January 2023, I bought my 2017 Triumph Street Triple 675R from Joe and it was exactly as described, including the video.
I checked a reference and it was good.
I was told he doesn't haggle on price.
I had it delivered to my Triumph dealer in the Chicago area and had it checked out plus serviced and added frame sliders and a louder horn.
I took delivery on my 77th birthday.
My previous bike was a 2002 Suzuki SV650S with a partial fairing.
Although both bikes we the same size and weight, the 'Zook had 65hp, and the Triumph has 105hp and is wicked quick.
Such a strange first post joe.
No but he had an MT07 I wanted last month, but sold it within a couple of hours
Oh, interesting.
I really wanted the bike so I paid what he wanted.
Turns out those bikes hold their price if they're well-maintained.
Joe has a 2020 katana for $9500
