Barnett's Suzuki Center Inc.
1509 Lake Wheeler Rd
Raleigh, NC  27603
(919) 833-5575

Makes:
 Suzuki, Ducati, Moto Guzzi.

Comments:
"Just thought you should know Barnett's Suzuki is NOT competitive on prices!
They quoted me a price nearly $600 over MSRP.  I'm pricing the Suzuki Bandit
1200, which I can get for $100 less than MSRP of $6999 from Sanford, out the
door.  Barnetts quoted me something like $7600, then pushed the extended
warranty, so it came to $8000 out the door, cash.  The guy won't make it
worth your while to trade in either."


"They are quite concerned about looking after their customers, and the way 
they've treated me has been nothing short of wonderful.  They seem to like to build a
relationship with their customers.  I really trust their service
department to be honest (they tell me what *doesn't* need doing, and
often find cheaper and/or quicker ways of keeping my bike on the road)
and I trust them to work on my bike.  The only down side is that they
don't deal much on new bike prices.  I support them whenever I can,
even if I'm paying more than mail order prices... and on *some* goods
their price is within a few bucks of mail order."
"Because of distance, I don't get a chance to get there much, but when I do,
I  have always been able to get someone's attention.
I have bought bikes from them before (although it has been a good number of years).  
Tech knowledge concerning Suzuki's and Ducati's is quite good ... and parts inventory is 
excellent.  Many may not know this, but if you are distant from Barnett's or 
your schedule does not coincide with their hours, you can call them, tell 
them what you want and they will UPS the parts to you ... So I have no 
problem with them ... I can't speak about Guzzi parts, service and tech 
skills."
"I trust Barnett's to be straightforward, even if they do charge list.  And Barnett's
always either has parts or tries very hard to get them in ASAP if we need them quickly."

Used Bikes:
Usually a small selection, but bikes will be in excellent shape as
they check them over carefully (and fix if necessary) before putting
them on the lot.

Comment:
"Good selection of accessories, friendly, non-pushy atmosphere.  On the few 
bikes we've had them quote, their prices were very good, often below 
list.  Worth a call, probably, if you're looking at a suzook or a kawa."
"I had an opportunity to visit this place last weekend and make no mistake, 
this is a serious bike shop a few miles south of downtown Roxboro near the 
HardTimes diner.  A Suzuki/Triumph/Kawaski dealership with lots of bikes, 
inexpensive leather jackets and a decent amount of accessories and a 
requisite compliment of used bikes.  A must stop if you are shopping around 
for any of these brands, especially Triumph.  A very friendly place with a 
large following."

Comment:
Seems to be a nice place, good straightforward folks who
know what they're doing. 
"I was very impressed with the customer support . . . They went out of their way
to make it easy for me, and the price I paid was very good indeed.  Every time
I've gone back there I've been treated extremely well."

Used Bikes:
A decent selection of bikes.  Rocky is the used bike salesman, and
he's a good low-pressure guy.  The prices are excellent, and the bikes
seem to be in good shape.

Comment:
Historically, HYoR has been not so well liked by most Denizens.
Typically considered to have a bad attitude toward the customer.
Can't avoid the salesdroids.  However, there reputation over the last
few months has definitely improved.  There is an excellent selection of
accessories and clothing.  The service department is much better than you
would think from looking at the sales side. Another positive note: they loaned a
250cc bike to a Denizen so she could do her DMV test. The addition
of Harry Dawson, a long-time Goldwing "expert",  has enhanced
their abilties, too.
"Chalk me up as another satisfied customer of TPS (HYoR).
I bought the Shadow there, and they were very helpful
in fixing the bum tire I went round and round with 751
about.  The mechanic rode it, agreed with what I was
saying, and put the tire on a spin balancer to see
the deformation.  He then marked it with chalk, and 
put on a new tire.  I took the chalked tire back
to 751 and exchanged it under warranty, but got not
so much as a "sorry we didn't catch that."  I wouldn't
even take a rat bike there now."
"I found all of the staff friendly and conversational and more than
willing to spend time chatting assuming they are not crowded with
customers.
  The service department is very responsive. I have had no unexpected
delays in getting my bike serviced. Most of my dealings have been with
Harry Dawson and Gill Langston. If they are representative of the
caliber of the rest of the service department, then HYoR is worth your
service business. Both Harry and Gill have taken time to chat and Gill
particularly has been generous with his time "off the bike" to talk
technical matters and bikes in general.
  Overall I have found the staff friendly and conversational even when they
know you are not there to buy a bike. The exception, of course, is when
they have people there to buy bikes. Then they are doing "their job" and
trying to make a living.
  Pricing is, as would be expected, retail. They have surprised me on
occasion. They were willing to shave about 15% off Corbin's price for my
Valkyrie seat. They even held my stock seat and pillion for a couple of
weeks until I could cage over to pick it up.
  The accessories areas has improved tremendously, since I became a regular
customer there in March, 1996. I have ordered a number of items through
them which, typically, came in within a week. They are a little lax on
calling to tell you your stuff is in. Some of the staff are more
diligent than others -- Pat in the GoldWing section gets kudos here.
  Considering the problem with Mariah, the staff in total has been very
supportive and forthright in their dealings in the matter, I'd have to
give them high marks for their integrity."

"Once again, on Saturday I found myself patronising this dealership.
Sharon and I dropped in there before a *long* ride in the wonderful
weather, for her to pick up MSF information, and for us both to browse
around. Jamie was, as usual, delighted to see us -- but more than that,
everyone else on the staff was friendly, cheerful, polite, and
non-intrusive.
  This post is really to say that HYoR has made the transition (IMHO) from
a dealership to be avoided to a dealership to be supported. I will
definitely be dropping in there frequently, and no doubt buying stuff
there too. :-)
  One thing that really impressed me is the range of inventory. Helmets
from XS to XXXL in stock. Decent prices. Lotsa cool stuff.
As for us, well we picked up a Fog Shield, two pairs of thermal socks
(wonderful!), and Sharon found a superb pair of gloves -- AGV's Imola
glove. We chatted with Jamie, cruised the bikes, kibbitzed with other
folks, and generally had an all-around good time."

 
Used Bikes:
A very good selection of bikes, but potential problems may be covered
up or ignored rather than fixed.  Take an experienced friend.  Prices
are very negotiable.

Comments:
"Off of highway 70 between Raleigh and Durham strikes me a typical "wants to 
sell you a bike" dealership.  Lots of floor/shop space.  Normal amount of 
used bikes and the requisite amount of basic accessories.  No bad reports of 
any kind and seems like a good dealer ... just seem like the kind of place 
that you don't want to spend an hour hanging around unless you are choosing a bike."

Comment:
Used to be called "Scooterville."  Has a Triumph Daytona 900 demo bike
that they seem to be very happy to lend out.  They have gone out of their
way to help at least one Denizen with a clutch cable problem: "making an ca.
60 mile round-trip to trailer my 
clutch-cabley challenged bike back to the shop after hours.  There was no 
charge for this service!"
Comment:
Established in 1995 as Mattison Motorsports on 
S. Sounders St. Sold BMWs, Triumphs, Aprilias, 
Bimota, & Laverda. Became a Yamaha shop and moved to 
the old Reward Yamaha shop on Glenwood. Sold 
the BMW part (now Capital BMW Motorcycle). 
In 2002, moved to Durant Rd.
Comment:
Coming on 2 years ago now, I was driving down 70 and I saw a red Triumph
Daytona 1200 in the used biked area at Matison. I knew nothing about the
dealer as I was new to the area and hadn't met any local riders yet. I
stopped in and asked about the bike. I learned that it had been there for
over a year and they had very litle interest in it to that point, and that
the asking proce was $7299, but they were willing to deal. This was on a
Thursday, and I didn't have time to spend as I was at lunch from work. I
was there for maybe 10 minutes.

That Saturday, I went back to the dealer at apporximately 11am. I took the
bike for a test ride, and it was great. The only issue was a clunk in the
forks under hard braking, and it wasn't the steering head bearings,it was
low in the fork. I demonstrated this by letting the clutch out a bit to
move then grabbing the brake, and the owner said he heard it. He told me
not to worry, that they would certainly make sure it was right before I
took delivery if I wanted the bike. 

So, after much going abck and forth to the sales manager-style wrangling, I
ended up at $6500 out-the-door. Sold. They said that it had a recent
service and needed no attention, so if I wanted to ride it away they'd give
it a once-over and off I'd go. I reminded him of the fork and he said that
the guys had looked at it while we were talking (they did) and proclaimed
that it was nothing serious and I could safely ride it if I wanted to, and
they would make an appt. for me to bring it back to fix it.

So, at approximately 12:30 I rode away on my I-always-wanted-one-of-these
Daytona. I am pointing out the times because this is the easiest $$ that
place ever made...I was in and out of there and *poof* they have my $6500
and I have a bike. Anyway, on Monday, I see that there is an ad on
Cycletrader for the bike, and it's advertised as $6299 OTD. This is strike
one. I know they are under no obligation to point this out to me, but it is
underhanded and alone would be enough for me not to want to go back. they
made it seem like it was a big deal to get down to $6500 and made me
negotiate for an hour. If I had called off that ad I woulda saved $200 and
had no haggling.

I made the service appointment and brought it in. The guy calls me the next
day and says "The problem was the speedo cable hitting the fender. It's all
set." I know this is crap, but I have arranged a ride and am forced to pick
it up. When I got there nobody was around to talk to except parts guys, so
I left. Strike 2: incompetent service people.

I brought it back again, and this time the ex-service mgr from his BMW shop
is there...btw this guy is cool and knowledgable. He checked the head
bearings just in case, and then did research. He said that the culrpit was
a bad bushing in the fork leg. He had found mention of this somewhere (I
don't remember where) and sd they would have to rebuild the forks to fix
it. I said "have at it, the boss told me it would be fixed."

About an hour later, the owner (I forget his name now) calls me at work to
say he's not going to fix the forks. We argue and he says, and I quote,
"Look, just because there's a little sound in the forks when you do
stoppies in my parking lot doesn't mean I'm going to rebuild your whole
front end for free...I'm trying to run a business here!" Stoppies?!? I was
going maybe 1.5 mph when I had demonstrated it to him before. Strike 3:
Owner is extremely unresonable and exhibits no concern for customer
satisfction or the information supplied by his own service dept.

Conclusion: If they treat me like that after I buy a bike for more than
they are asking, a bike that has been sitting there for a year, and buy it
with an absolute minimum of hassle and time investment, how will they treat
you?

Now for the emotion:

I wouldn't cross the street to pee on that place if it were on fire.
Comment:
1) "Fixed" bike by replacing speedo with another one that had more
miles on it, and didn't tell owner.

2) Slashed rear tire taking it out of the packaging.  Refused to
replace it when noticed because bike had already left the shop.

Makes:
 Honda, Yamaha

Comments:
"Good selection of new Hondas and Yamahas as well as some new previous year
models for sale.  Service is adequate for basic services, but quite impresonal
and experience indicates that you best have everything itemized before signing
a blank service order form. The parts/accessory department is a redeeming
aspect of Triangle Cycles. Not that it is heavily stocked (although they do have
your basic common maintenance parts for most late model Hondas and Yamahas,
some helmets (AGV, Shoei, etc.) some leather jackets and bags and some
low-end riding suits), but they are willing to order just about any part or
accessory within a few days. "
"I have high hopes for this long standing bike shop, at first blush, the 
new management has done wonders for the place ... the parts folks have always 
been very good and its nice to go to a place that remembers your name.  
Because it is close to me, I get all of my OEM parts there and most of the 
time they are in stock.  Large number of bikes ... a decent emphasis on dirt 
and DP bikes/accessories and increasing inventory of street products.  Jury 
is still out on service ... looks like about the same service folks.  Guess 
we are going to have to get someone to report on their current service 
work/policies/practices."
Used Bikes:
Some selection and at times they do have some very good models on consignment. 
Prices are high for used bikes with very little lettitude for negotiation.

One Denizen writes:
"I have been by it many times now on my way back and forth to where I keep my 
horses in Denton, but never got a chance to stop until the other day.  They 
appear to cater mostly to the Jap bike drag crowd, but they do a little of 
everything.  They stock Pirelli, Metzler, and Avon tires, and will order 
anything else you might want.  He says he can meet any mail order tire price 
except on Dunlops.  If you buy tires from him, they are $20 to mount and 
computer balance per tire.  If you bring your own in, they are $25 each.
I ordered a set of ME-Z4s for the VFR (being that those and the Z4 race are 
the only tires that come in the proper size for the VFR800).  

The guy who owns the place said he worked for 25 years as a mechanic at a 
Honda dealership.  He has another guy working there at least, and I think two 
guys.  The wife does the bookkeeping and such."

Comments:
Reward Cycle is the area's leading dealership for used sportbikes.  They
specialize in used Japanese and Italian sportbikes.  They are also an authorized dealer
for Bimota (exotic) and ATK (dirtbikes).  They will special order accessories for a nominal
charge, and stock Dainese leathers, Shoei Helmets, and other high-end items.

In addition to bikes, they have a full service department with a DynoJet
dynamometer. Bill Moon is the head mechanic.  Jetting and performance is assured by the
Moon Tune (tm). The shop has several #1 Racing plates, both nationally and regionally.
They also have two dirtbike experts on the staff (one a former factory racer)

Recently they had in stock a Bimota, a KTM Duke, two ATKs, two Ducatis, two
Harleys, a VFR400RR and a bevy of japanese sportbikes. 
"I have visited them often and there are a lot of new and used bikes to 
choose from, help is easy to acquire and part availability is good ..will 
order what you want. I have had bikes serviced there before, but not 
recently.  Nice place to visit."

"Their prices are a little better than other shops, but there work is only ok.
They put a tire on my 96 900RR that would deform at speed and vibrate.
After three trips back, chain adjustments and rebalancing, they refused to
admit a problem.  So I took it to HYoR. The mechanic rode it, agreed with what I was
saying, and put the tire on a spin balancer to see the deformation.  He then marked
it with chalk, and put on a new tire.  I took the chalked tire back to 751 and
exchanged it under warranty, but got not so much as a "sorry we didn't catch
that."  I wouldn't even take a rat bike there now."
"Gary is alive and well.  His partner, Jim left last fall leaving no mechanic 
and dim prospects for the store.  Gary got his inspection license and picked 
up a mechanic named Charles who used to work on British Cars.  Gary still has 
an encyclopedic knowledge of any bike made before 1985.  He still mail orders 
and where else can you walk out with any part off a used Honda?"

"Seem to be pretty good.  Extremely knowledgable about Bridgestone
tires.  Excellent prices on gear -- helmets are much cheaper here than
in Raleigh.  Gary, the guy who runs the place, is a good guy, although his
manner has  been known to put a few denizens off.  The shop work is good and not very 
expensive in the scheme of things. the mechanic, Jim, is very 
knowlegeable and fast. if you work it right, they can even do work while 
you wait.   The surroundings are suitably funky, since the shop is in an 
old house on 751 about seven miles south of i-40.  The place is worth the 
drive.   They have used parts and some used bikes (more expensive than 
classifieds but less than other shops).  Accessories are near-mail-order 
on most items.  Get gary off on a tangent and you'll kill an hour, easy.  A 
great place frequented by many denizens."

uses mostly part time repair folks (a couple work at other shops), they often 
do repair work after regular store hours.  He is selling used bikes that he 
buys and fixes for sale .. and also sells bikes on consignment.  Prices for 
parts are very good, but he has a very, very small inventory .. mostly what 
he bought into when he purchased the place from Doug Taylor.  I don't see the 
inventory improving anytime soon ... because of the cost issue.  The nice 
thing about this place is it is becoming the kind of place that you can come

is going to concentrate on his service and accessory ordering as well as used

Mail-Order 

In general, most of us believe in the philosophy of buying locally if
reasonable -- keep the good dealers in business! But this is not
always possible or desirable.  Of the catalogues, we have this to say:

Dennis Kirk does a good job of getting the order right and getting it out 
fast.  Some denizens are a bit put-off by their multiple-price policy...and
their prices can be higher than other mail-order places.
Nationwide cycle.  Prices and service are excellent.  Ask for Steve.

Despite some glitches with Chapparel, they're OK.  They were good at 
handling a customer service, after-the-order screw up on one order, and 
got everything perfect on a second.
As for Motorcycle Accessory Whorehouse, they have a ton of products
and their prices are good, but forget service.

Competion Accessories is known for screwing up orders and back-orderng 
stuff without telling you and generally being rude on the phone to

price and the shipping date ... they try to move the process through in 3-5 
days.

"I absolutely don't know how Woody did it ... the wheel was returned perfectly 
round not sure where the damage was and I can't see any marks on the wheel!  
Pretty amazing."
Starne's Welding
Starnes is located off of Chapel Hill Drive in Raleigh. Start on Hillsboro 
Street going towards Cary. Eventually the road will split. One lane will 
continue on straight, and another will turn to the left and go under a 
bridge. Go straight. I don't remember the name of the road you have to turn 
left on, but it's right there by State Surplus. A big dirty pastel yellow 
building. Looks like a hole in the wall. Whatever you do, don't get confused
by the auto parts store and their "Machine Shop" sign. They're not a real
machine shop. Go past that to the stop sign and take a right.

"He did a spectacular job, and I'm very impressed with the quality, time, and
effort he put into the job. I would recommend this guy to anyone."
