Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Buying or servicing a bike here means picking between big-brand showrooms and small shops that live and breathe motorcycles. Seattle's motorcycle dealers have logged over 2,400 Google reviews between them, and every one holds at least 4.4 stars, so the real differences show up in what each place actually specializes in, not whether they're any good.

Short answer: Cycle Gear leads with 4.8 stars across 716 reviews, the most of any dealer here, though it's a national gear-and-parts chain rather than a bike showroom. For an actual motorcycle purchase, BMW Motorcycles of Seattle and Triumph of Seattle both run brand showrooms with 4.8 and 4.6 stars. If your bike needs specialty or vintage work, SCARABWERKS holds the highest rating on the page at 4.9 across 187 reviews.

How we rank these

Rating is each dealer’s live Google average. Review volume measures how many customers actually left a rating, which we weigh against others in the same pool. Confidence blends the two so a high rating built on a small sample doesn’t outrank a proven track record. Recency checks how recently people are still reviewing. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

What does a motorcycle cost in Seattle? (2026)

Pricing depends heavily on new versus used, the brand, and whether you’re buying a starter bike or a full-size touring machine, so we’re not printing a number we can’t back up locally. Ask each dealer for their out-the-door price including freight and setup fees, since those vary by shop.

Serving greater Seattle

These dealers and shops span Seattle proper, Bellevue, and Issaquah, so wherever you’re riding from in the metro area, one of them is a reasonable drive. Searching for a motorcycle dealer near me in Seattle will surface most of these same names.

What to ask before you buy or book service

  • Does the out-the-door price include freight, setup, and dealer fees?
  • What’s covered under the manufacturer warranty versus an extended plan?
  • Can I schedule a service appointment by text or online, and what’s the current wait?
  • Do you stock parts for older or vintage models, or only current-year bikes?
  • Is there a loaner or pickup option while my bike is in for service?
  • What financing options are available and what’s the approval process like?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these motorcycle dealers?

We pulled real Google ratings and review counts for motorcycle dealers, shops, and specialists serving Seattle, then ranked them by rating, review volume, and how recently customers are still reviewing.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects data verified in July 2026. We periodically refresh ratings and review counts as they change.

Should I buy new or used?

It depends on budget and how you plan to ride. Dealers here, like BMW Motorcycles of Seattle and Triumph of Seattle, sell both new and used, so ask about the specific used inventory and its history.

Do any of these shops handle vintage motorcycles?

SCARABWERKS specifically specializes in vintage BMW restoration alongside modern bike service, based on its site content and reviews describing work on classic R and K series models.

What if I need parts, not a whole bike?

Cycle Gear and I-90 Motorsports both carry parts and accessories, and BMW Motorcycles of Seattle can source parts for older BMW models specifically.

The bottom line

For a straightforward new-bike purchase from a major brand, BMW Motorcycles of Seattle and Triumph of Seattle are the safest defaults, both backed by hundreds of reviews and ratings at 4.6 or better. If your bike is older or needs specialty attention, call SCARABWERKS first and expect to book ahead.
