John’s Cycle Center

Been in & out of this shop almost 30yrs & can’t say a bad word they have all but 1 time had the exact part I was looking for & the only time they DIDDNT was for shocks for a Harley but within a day or two they were there as promised & for way less then ANYONE else… great shop great work great prices need I say more…

Been going to Bobby’s since I picked up a ’73 Triumph Tiger and needed parts and advice a couple years back… what I got was a family away from home. Great guys, Saturday morning bagels and BS’ing with a great group of people. They made me feel welcome from day one… One night I rolled in for the Thursday night bike /​car show, by the skin of my teeth. the bike barely made it and stalled out front. Bobby knew what was wrong and said… sorry I’m cleaned up for the day… then he had the bike wheeled into the shop, handed me his tools and said — fix it. It helped me meet all the guys who stopped in to see what I was doing, and Bobby guided me — and gave me all the parts I needed. What a great guy. As are all the folks there…

From my 99′ Triumph Thunderbird Sport to my 09′ Triumph Thruxton to my current 06′ Harley Sportster, I have been going to John’s Cycle for about 10 years. I simply can not say enough great things about John’s Cycle Center and more specifically, Bobby. The shop is like a social club with authentic New Yorkers, small space with a lot of character. Bobby and crew are always hard at work. Bobby is always busy but he never fails to give you a warm welcome and also take the time out to hear your bike issues and always offer smart and direct suggestions and solutions. The turn around time has always been fast with satisfying results and the price is always reasonable. Bobby is an old school rocker that loves to chat in addition to having a deep knowledge of bike mechanics and culture. I wouldn’t take my bike anywhere else and I high recommend John’s Cycle Center to everyone.

Took my Triumph Bonneville here to get it serviced and was very happy with the experience. The work was pretty simple (just an oil and filter change and to give it a once over), but I’m confident that he did a thorough job (he gave me a complete overview of the bike and, in particular, didn’t try to upsell me on anything I didn’t need). Price was very competitive and work was done quickly with no hassle. Can’t really ask for more. I’ll definitely be going back.

Can’t say enough about Bobby. He is a great guy very knowledgeable and honest. I wouldn’t bring my bike anywhere else.

Hands down this is the best bike shop around especially for old Brit bikes. Been going here on and off for 15 years and there service has always been top notch!

Great work, Great guys. Great experience. I am actually taking my Triumph over there right now and needed to be reminded of the address. Thats when I realized I hadn’t reviewed them from my last visit.
I own multiple bikes and like to feel confident when I ride. This place fulfills that need in spades.

I simply can’t say enough about this place. After getting a quote on the phone for a tune up (lowest price around) I took in my 72 cb350. Not only did Bobby do some great work on some other fix-​its he charged me less because the Pamco electric stasrt I had installed made it an easy tune up (no timing to adjust with the Pamco’s). That’s called honest work ethic and it’s very VERY rare. It makes me a long time customer and I now would trust him to do anything on my bike and do it right. The downside to this shop is they’re always super busy and it takes weeks to get your bike in. Once your bike’s in though, it’s worth every penny. I can’t say enough about these guys — JML

Just had Bobby fix a broken clutch cable and adjust the carbs on a 73 Norton Commando 850. I recently bought it and after two shops attempts at getting it up to snuff, it never rode better. Runs super strong and smooth after months of idling problems. Great service at a great price. He actually works on your bike not some other hack mechanic or apprentice and has the years of Britt bike know how to get the job done well the first time.

I caught a ride with my friend to see if they had rear view mirrors for my bike after googling for a motorcycle shop and I didn’t know what size thread I had. John just tossed me a mirror and said if it doesnt fit come back if it does come back. Really nice people who didn’t even charge me at the time. I came back two weeks later with my money and got another mirror. On the way in there I dropped my bike on the side walk (noob) and they helped me up and told me I needed to lower my seat. They adjusted my suspension (I’m small) and I haven’t dropped my bike since. John is wonderful and they are trusting. Didn’t even charge me for their time. I would go back there in a heart beat.
The location was a bit difficult to find and they work mostly with european bikes but they were willing to look over and inspect my Japanese bike.
I would recommend them for inspections as well as repairs. I do believe they deal with lots of different bikes old and new.
