I brought my husbands bike down there on consignment to get sold. My overall experience with them was not good. I called down there several times to check on the bike and see if anyone has been looking at it. They had a dew people but no one that made an offer. Anyways the 60 days of consignment was up with them and the bike had not gotten sold. Take in mind that we had biketoberfest for a few days so I was hoping it would of sold by then. When I did call down there to get firm with them and see why it was not selling I just kept hearing excesses, I spoke to Mark Sheldon and didnt seem like they were eager to sell it. My husband ended up writing them an email and Mark wrote back and said that he didnt appreciate me being firm with him on the phone. Oh well that is my bike i wanted to sell it I needed the money and and didnt seem like they were doing as much as I hoped to sell it. They said it was on eBay and craigslist which I did not see it there. The only place they had it on was on there website. Mark was very unprofessional on the phone as well in the email. My husband ended up calling down there and speaking to Tony one of the owners and explained what all had happened and our experience with him was so much better. Overall we ended up picking up our bike and now we will try to sell it on our own. I will definitely not do business with this place again.

I just purchased a pre-owned Suzuki Burgman and must say that after some 45 years of motorcycle trading/buying - this was the best experience by far. I worked with Gerald at least two weeks via the internet only. He answered all my questions, pointed me in the direction of a couple of bikes in my price range and even shared some out the door numbers (subject to evaluating my trade of course.) When I got there, Paul Palmer (sales) was equally as professional and helpful in showing me every feature on the Burgie - which was exactly as Gerald had described. We did the deal and then I got to meet Tony Walker and Clayton in the parts department. What can I say? Everyone was courteous, helpful and professional. I only wish they were in my neighborhood. You see, I live some 100+ miles away! Yep - based on Geralds helpfulness and pricing, I took the chance to ride that far. I suggest that if you see a bike advertised youre interested in - work with them and make the ride yourself. Thanks to everyone!

May of 2007, I bought a bike from Cycle World. Scott - the sales manager treated me very well....so I bought a 1996 Honda CBR 1000F from him with only 8500 miles on it. The bike was then and still is in MINT condition. Victor in finance was helpful, even though I paid cash for the bike. Michael is a good reliable mechanic that has worked on my bike several times, as I have put 12,000 miles on it in 15 months. Service is good, try a Tuesday or Wednesday for less wait time. If you schedule an appointment...Cycle World is pretty good about service times. They have great hotdogs too while you wait. The only negative thing is the salespeople ask you if you want to buy a bike while you’re getting yours serviced, but if they did not ask...they would not be doing their job. On a scale of 1 to 10, they deserve a 9.5. It is also one of the cleanest stores I have ever seen and they have a large selection on new and used bikes. Make sure to go upstairs!

Did not have a good experience, but i believe its because the salesmen said he was new. I dont think he knew what he was doing. I was wanting to ride off on the bike of my choice that day. My credit is good and i make well over enough money to pay for it. He came back and said i couldnt get that one but i could get a different one just like it. Anything he said did not make sense. The reasoning on why the bike i chose i couldnt get absolutely didnt make sense. He did not try to sell the bike at all. I will be coming back to talk to a more experienced salesmen because i ran the numbers myself and nothing he said made sense. I left out of pure anger. So im hoping for better results my next visit. I still want that bike. I can not remeber the mans name, but beware he is new and his desk was the first desk on the left when you walk in. Avoid him at all costs. He does not know what he is doing, ive never had a problem with buying anything from dealerships before.

I was looking for a specific make and model of motorcycle and found it at Jim Walkers Motorcycles in great condition at a fair price. The entire transaction was carried out via telephone and e-mail communication with Gerald Krotke, Paul Palmer and Stephanie. When I requested additional images and information regarding the bike, it was provided quickly, courteously and without question. Gerald personally managed the out of state delivery and was always available to ensure that the bike was delivered in the manner that he and I had discussed. Communication was very professional with timely call-backs if needed. In short, I came to trust the staff of Jim Walkers Motorcycles without a doubt. Gerald even called me a month after the sale to make sure I was happy with the bike. I can honestly recommend them without reservation as a dealership where customer care is a way of doing business.

I felt very vulnerable, being from out of state with few options. Jeff Reed was the first and only person I spoke with at Jim Walkers Motorcycles in Daytona. Two other well recommended shops wouldnt even talk to me about my Suzuki Boulevard. Jeff was prompt with updates, accurate with estimates, flexible with accommodating a traveler, thorough with details, very honest, respectful, clear, and dependable. I couldnt be happier with Jeff Reed or Jim Walkers Service. He even threw in a little humor. Good news/bad news, the bad news was the rain for riding. That was a relief. I was even able to get a full refund on the defective and replaced part back home. Thank you Jeff for being straight.

Was told to go to Jim Walkers by a friend because theyve been around for awhile but what an awful experience.. I walked in looking to upgrade from my first bike and talked with Gerald.. as I spoke to him he just rolled his eyes and continued toying around on his computer while I was talking as if I was a ghost.. then when he finally realized I was serious about buying a bike he tried milking me for every penny I have... this guy is the salesman you hope you dont come across when walking in a place like this.. would stay away from Jim Walkers.. Daytona Fun Machines was a much better experience for me and my family. Hope in the future Jim Walkers realizes the customers needs come first!

I recently bought my first motorcycle - this beautiful Yamaha FZ6R! My salesman was Gerald who is a awesome guy. I saw this bike online and it instantly caught my eye. I came in a couple days later to look at it and fell in love. Jim Walkers Motorcycles has that small, home town feel to it and I didnt feel like they were in it just for the money - as some dealers are. They wanted to make sure you loved the motorcycle you were buying and were there to answer any questions. The sales process was short, sweet, and to the point. You wont spend all day in there and you are in a relaxed, buying environment. Im so happy I bought my sport bike from Jim Walkers! Come check them out!
