San Diego dealer recommendation? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

richj11 · 01-24-2006, 09:14 AM

Hello all,

Well, I haven't been frequenting the forum much lately. Been very busy with work. Now I am ready to settle down and enjoy some great riding.

I just got my bike out of storage down here in San Diego. Of course, right before I left home to come down here, I received my recall notice in the mail....

So, I am staying in downtown San Diego. Can someone recommend a Suzuki dealer relatively close by?

Appreciate any feedback.

My brother goes to South Bay Motorsports (http://www.sbmotor.com/) while my sister and her husband go to Fun Bike Center (http://www.funbike.com/). All speak highly of their respective dealerships. Of course, it helps that they personally know many of the employees and management. I haven't lived in San Diego in the past 16 years due to military service, so I really can't give you an honest assessment of either dealers. Good luck.

Appreciate the input. I had looked at Fun Bike and know where they are located. Guess I'll give them a call.

Just curious, what brings you down to San Diego? New job or finally settling down?

Edit: Should have read the second line on the initial post. Oops.

I am in San Diego for my job. Just a little stint, until 1 Sep! The wife and daughter come down when they can, but for a while it is just me and the bike

So I went with Fun Bike Center. That place is incredible! I guess they just recently moved into the new building there. I have never seen so many new bikes in one place. Pretty incredible!

The service department is actually in a seperate building. They were very friendly and easy to deal with. Took good care of my bike and got the work done when they said they would.

So, Fun Bike was a good experience for me....

Thanks again,

Rich J

Hey Rich, glad to hear the folks at Fun Bike treated you well. I'll make sure to pass this along to my sister and her husband.

P.S.
The place feels like a mall for motorcycles, doesn't it?
