If you are a new rider looking to buy your first bike, look no further. I could not have possibly had a better experience buying a Honda Nighthawk 250 from MotoJava. Moto Mike was astoundingly professional and helpful. I wanted to buy a used bike because there was the possibility of me dropping it and me just generally roughing it up a bit as a new rider. But I didnt want to buy one off of Craigslist, because if you dont know the mechanics of bikes its hard to know if youre getting ripped off. Plus I just really wasnt ready to deal with a bunch of maintenance atuff right off the bat. MotoJava is the PERFECT place if you are looking for an affordable used bike, but in excellent ready-to-ride condition as it has recently been refurbished. But that isnt what ultimately sold me on the shop, and what will keep me coming back for the rest of my days riding in San Francisco. I was a bit nervous about driving the bike, and asked if moto Mike wouldnt mind showing me how the bike worked and maybe even giving me a little driving refresher before getting on. Moto Mike took an incredible amount of time with me to show me exactly how the bike worked and then gave me a driving lesson to get me confident on the bike. Keep in mind this was AFTER the point of sale, so there was really no sales incentive for Moto Mike to do this. Him and Lucy genuinely just seem like kind, decent people. So if youre looking for a bike, GO TO MOTOJAVA!

These guys are really an asset to anyone who rides in this city. Theyve earned the hell out of my business and I really cant recommend them enough. I took my bike by after fiddling with it for a few weeks without a successful repair. These guys were happy to help me figure out what was wrong and even talk me through what to do myself. Ive finally got the parts I need on the way and you can be sure Ill be making an appointment with MotoJava for the work. This is the kind of business that a whole community should support. Drop by and see for yourself!

I have been checking this shop for a while but was kind of specktical about it, but I bite the bullet and contacted the sales person, Paul. He was VERY friendly and didnt explain the bike mechanic as I am a dumb female and treated me just like any other guy. Very professional. FIRM $ but excellent service and I couldnt ask for anything else. They were the BEST shop in the Bay Area that I found for finding my first motorcycle and giving me information. I will HIGHLY recomend them and will go back to them for my next bike hopefully soon.

I have purchase 2 motorcycles from Paul and Joe over the years and both experiences were great! These guys are knowledgeable and arent out to sell you something you dont want or isnt right for you. They take a very thoughtful approach to making certain that the bike you buy is just want you are looking for. Their prices are always extremely fair and and they are two of the coolest guys you could ever want to do business with. Really, no complaints.

Had a great experience buying a 2016 fz-07 at moto Java earlier this month. I love the bike and it is in impecable mechanical shape. I had seen similar bikes on Craigslist for around the same price, but buying from a mechanic/dealer gives you guarantees and the piece of mind you normally dont get at private party prices, plus they take care of all the dmv paperwork for you. Lucy was cool af and I would highly recommend buying a motorcycle here.

Buyer beware! Bought a bike from these guys that was supposed to only hove 1,300 mile on it. Took it back within the first week with a squeaky front disk brake, 3,000 miles later I had to replace the front brake pads. The pads were worn so thin there was almost nothing left of them. Both pads had been sprayed with silicon to keep them from making noise, I also found out that the original battery had been replace with a weaker smaller battery.

Moto Mike and Lucy are the best! Mike was very helpful and informative. He helped me decide on the perfect bike for me, Ninja EX650. The bike was pristine when I bought it. Low mileage, annual service, brand-new tires, etc. His prices are competitive and he seems genuinely interested in serving his customers beyond what you might get at other shops in town. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! PS $5 off for the push-up challenge. Make sure you ask for this!

I love coffee. I love motorcycles. Marija and Chris (the owners of the cafe side) are wonderful people, and if youre lucky you might even meet their dogs Milo and Zoe in the car outside. The coffee (Trieste brand) is very good, and Marija bakes fresh scones and muffins from scratch every morning. Plenty of motorcycle parking out front (remember to feed the meter!) and lots of excellent used motorcycles & new gear to browse next door.

I started riding 5 years ago and purchased my first 2 motorcycles from Joe and Paul. Both bikes were in excellent condition and each time when I was ready to move on I sold the bike back to them and get the next one. (My third bike was a new one.) They are the most respectful and ethical gents Ive met along the way. They look after their bikes ALWAYS. I would give them 10 stars!

My buddy and I went there yesterday to check out the bikes we had seen on craigslist. The people inside were incredibly friendly, and they even gave us a tour of their workshop, showing us the bikes that were being worked on currently and coming to the showroom. They buck the stereotype of bike riders, and maybe there really shouldnt be one. Check them out.

Ive had very little reason to take my bike in for other than routine maintenance, and whenever I do I call Moto Java first. They are wonderfully helpful, and even help troubleshoot and diagnose over the phone to see if I can fix things myself. Very friendly, definitely my first choice!

My husband and I have purchased 3 bikes from Paul and Joe over the past 9 years. We also bring them in for service and minor repairs as needed. Theyre honest, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Dont forget to check out Pauls cool crash photos on his Ninja 250 :D

The new owners are great. Really enjoyed purchasing my latest bike from them. Wasnt charged an additional fee to pay for the entire bike with my credit card! They also took $5 bucks off for the push-up challenge!

Whats that, youre looking to buy an overpriced motorcycle without being able to take it for a test ride?? Believe it or not, these mental deficients satisfy all your criteria!

Moto Mike and Lucy are the best. They have looked after me and my Triumph many times and I trust them completely! I wouldnt dream of taking my bike anywhere else.

Bought my first bike here from Joe. Awesome guy and great place. Sad to hear that the business has been sold to new owners. There are some big shoes to fill!

I bought my motorcycle from them 1 year ago and would do it over and over again. Very friendly people, very professional and helpful.

These guys are fantastic and super nice! I take my bike here once a year for a tuneup and they keep it running great!
