Reputable dealers in southern California? seeing horror stories on Yelp.
So after some research I am a few weeks from purchasing the Spyder F3-S. I am a complete newbie with motor bikes. I have no motorcycle experience what so ever. So I visited a dealership today in Whittier just to check out the bike and I loved it. So I am on Yelp and checking out the dealer reviews and there are a lot of bad ones. I check out other dealers in So Cal, and more bad reviews. Some are really bad. Now I am worried. I am new to purchasing a motorcycle and am afraid of getting ripped off by shady dealers. I have bought several cars and know how to handle them, but no experience in purchasing a motorcycle.
Can some of you experts share your experiences to help a newbie out? I don't want to be discouraged in not purchasing the Spyder.
Thanks in advance.
I purchased from Whittier Fun Center In Oct.
So far everything has gone well. Only 1500 on my F3 so far, and need to go back at 3000 miles. Only other dealer near me is Berts Mega Mall. in Covina.
And have heard bad things about them. Thats why I chose Whittier. Hope this helps.
Stay away from Temecula MotorSports.
This company's sales department will tell you anything to make a sale. Don't matter to them just sale spyders specially after the next years models come out and they are trying to get rid of there New year old spyders that did not sale.
That was my experience with them.
OOOOPS WHERE did my money GO

1. Go back to the service shop and ask to have a walk about. If they say no because of insurance reasons tell them that
you will take your $30,000.00 elsewhere.
2. Look to see that they have a clean, well organized shop, remembering that the work on your trike will reflect what you
see about the shop.
3. Asked to see their credentials, especially BRPs PLC training as your trike is a running computer on wheels
Hope ALL goes well
