Dear FX Motorsports LLC Team,We wanted to express our heartfelt thanks for the incredible assistance you provided us last year. A year ago, on our 6-month journey through your beautiful country, we, as Canadian riders, encountered motorcycle troubles that needed urgent attention. Your shop's support was truly invaluable. Your exceptional assistance got us back on the road swiftly, and we're truly grateful for your expertise.Thanks again,Yann+Julie (QC, Canada)

I've been using FX for over ten years now and I always receive friendly and competent service! My front tire started losing air recently so I brought my scooter in for service. The tire was installed by FX over a year ago and I thought it had a puncture so I requested replacement. The tire simply needed an adjustment which they did free of charge. I purchased the REAR tire from them SEVEN years ago which also received an adjustment that day. This was also free of charge. All of this was done within hours of dropping it off. FX knows how to take care of their customers! Thank you!!

Buyer bewareWith FX recommended by Moto Julia for working on older BMWs, I bought what I thought to be a good deal from a good mechanic. I believed I was purchasing the exact bike I had been searching for; turned out to be quite the project bike I didn't really want. I currently kind of feel stuck with a money pit of a motorcycle that Dave said was good, ready to go, and he would ride across the country as is...I soon learned to consider it unsafe in the condition it was and have found multiple roadside stranding type issues since purchasing. It has been stranded in my driveway more than once with, intially, an officially tested bad, failed battery and then a completely worn out starter motor. I was able to get it running again for a few hundred dollars in replacement parts, and a lot of work on my part. These are not the only problems I have been finding but the only ones that left the bike unable to start at all. I am hopefully only looking at around $2k to get it to where I think I can ride it to British Columbia and back, like I did on one of my former older in far from perfect type of shape BMW bikes. The point is I'm having to work and spend $ on this bike a lot more than I'm riding it when I was told it was good to go as is...Be very careful and know what you are doing or bring someone who does. I'm uncovering more and more issues with and cheap parts installed in this bike as I get work on the other potential problems, that I had voiced concerns about when I was buying it (that Dave said were normal charateristics for this type of motorcycle to have). #1 was slack in drivetrain - which may or may not need serious repair - some owners online have said they have lived with "the drive clunk" for many miles on their R1150 models - others have rebuilt shaft, bearings, and splines throughout the drivetrain to remedy, = $$$Beware of vehicle purchases without clear mechanical certainty of what you are buying. Be thorough and don't let your excitement get the better of your judgement. Really inspect every detail when purchasing from here and don't take their word for it just because they are mechanics.I do like the bike and believe I can eventually fix all its issues I'm discovering but I probably won't be using Fx to do any more of the work on it. The repairs I did have done there were grossly underestimated, and I was charged 12hrs at $119.00/hr instead of the quoted 4-6hrs.Otherwise, Dave is very friendly and helpful, as is the woman working the front desk. Going by other reviews, maybe they are better with the scooters but I don't advise going there for BMW repairs/service.

Very unprofessional lady on the phone. Couldn't even answer a question about valve adjustment. I don't know why they get the people with the least experience working the phones. Lost a customer/ sale at this point. I'll be sure to steer all my two wheeled friends away from this shop

David and FX Motorsports saved me when I reached NOLA on a five week, 5000 mile trip and needed a rear tire installed on my FJR-1300 in the next 5 hours! He squeezed me in, did the job competently, charged very fairly for a Dunlop tire plus labor, AND was extremely pleasant to deal with from start to finish. Highly recommend you check out this shop for MC and scooter diagnosis and repair service — you won’t be disappointed!

Yooo they fixed me up after a time sensitive emergency w my front brake and got me on the road within a day, and took the time to listen and converse with me about the bike. Very friendly, high confidence level in the quality of work, would recommend and I would go there again myself, labor rate was reasonably priced. 5/5 ✨

They brought my beloved FJR1300 back to life. The only criticism I have is that this is a very popular and in-demand shop, so you’ll need to make an appointment, and it may take them awhile to get to your bike. However, they communicate well and they were quick to respond to emails about the status of my bike’s repairs. Their pricing is transparent and fair. The staff is very knowledgeable and they can handle any issue on two wheels. If you have a motorcycle, or if you want to buy or sell a used one, fxmotorsports is a great place to start.

If you’re a fan of old-school bike shops, like you might have found along Route 66 before progress ruined things, you’ll love this crazy place. Highly recommend

The owner Dave is super nice, incredibly knowledgeable, and exceedingly helpful. I pulled up a few minutes ago to ask if I could get air in my scooter tires and he moved his truck out the way, went inside his workshop and pulled out the air hose and filled my tires up. It turned out I had known him from back when I got my first scooter, right after Katrina. He used to work at a scooter place down in the LGD. He remembered me before I recognized him, but as soon as he pointed out our history I remembered how amazing he was. I have a Vespa 300cc now and I am tired of taking it down to the expensive place I bought it from (on Julia St.), so from now on I'm bringing it to Dave's new place on Magazine St. Dave is a happy, helpful, hard working guy. And I'd rather be his customer than any other scooter place around town. I'm SO glad I popped into his place today!

FX motorsports is my go to place for scooter repairs. I have gone there several time for various reasons. My scooter is kind of unique and Dave has always been able to fix whatever issues I have. The shop is located on Magazine St Uptown. They are only open during business hours, about 8-4, so be sure to call during those times. My biggest concern with FX is that sometimes they take awhile to do repairs. My scooter is my only means of transportation so being without it for multiple days is not easy.

Dropped My vstar off cuz the forward cylinder was making noise. I clearly explained that I wanted him to find out what was making the noise. Instead I get a call days later he tells me he drained my carbs n there's water in the tank, says my carbs need rebuilt n not a word about the noise. Charged me a hundred bucks for nothing. ROOKIES.
