Lake Cycle

I have bought parts at Lake Cycle for many years and everyone has always been very helpful. While running errands today, I ran into a fellow biker broke down on the side of US30. I stopped to help and found out the bike wouldn’t go into gear. He called lake cycle and they came to pick him and the bike up in 30 min. That is great customer service.

I bought my 2013 Honda VFR1200 DCT from Lake Cycle in January 2015.
I had a great buying experience at Lake Cycle. The staff were very helpful during our visit to the dealership as well as the buying process. My wife and I travelled ~50 miles from IL to Lake Cycle in IN, since we were looking for a specific model/​color that that is no longer in production in the US and only a few were left in the market.
On our first visit, we really appreciated the fact that the sales staff, though they answered all our questions patiently, did not push us to go through with a purchase then-​and-​there like many dealerships tend to do. Once we were ready to buy, we reached out to Lake Cycle over the phone and Kevin from the sales team assisted us with the purchase. He was especially helpful in coordinating the financing process with my bank as there were additional steps involved due to the out-​of-​state purchase.
Lastly, we also noticed that Lake Cycle had an impressive inventory of motorcycle, scooters, ATVs etc.
I will gladly consider Lake Cycle for my future buying needs.

I have finally come around to reviewing this place. I ride a Honda ST1300 and my husband brought the bike to them after he purchased it in Grand Rapids from a BMW dealership. The guys he bought it from didn’t know shit about Hondas and weren’t aware that the front tire was mounted backwards until hubby pointed it out to them and got a great deal on my bike, along with some new tires.
Okay, so he brings it to Lake Honda and asks the guys to just check it over to make sure everything’s okay because I’m going to be doing some serious traveling on this bike. They check it out and everything’s good with the bike. They also ran the VIN… the previous owner had purchased an extended warranty on the bike (until 2014), which would have been a great way to charge us at least another 500 bucks on the purchase price, but the dopes at BMW didn’t even check!
So, I have an honest Honda place to come to when I need something and an awesome bike that the BMW guys couldn’t have possibly appreciated!
I brought the bike in for an oil change this morning. It’s Labor Day weekend (Friday). The service guy took me right away and the oil change was about $ 68. Not bad.
As always, the service is great at this place. They carry some of the best accessories I’ve come across in all my travels. I bought our Shark helmets here, our Scorpion jackets and today I ordered some soft luggage bags to fit inside my hard bags. They are kind, courteous and respectful, which means a lot to a lady rider.

Very nice selection of bikes. I will most certainly be back in the spring to purchase my new shadow here! I can’t wait!

Awesome, awesome, awesome and even more awesome!
I am an avid motorcyclist and have been for several years. The bike I currently ride is an 2003 Honda Shadow ACE. I haven’t had any major problems with my bike but because of major changes I’ve made, I needed little adjustments here and there.
It’s been hard to find a good dealership that does quality work. The previous dealership I used to go to recently close down. (Hmmmmm) I contemplated going all the way out to Des Plaines Honda to get my bike worked on. Thanks to my recent driving in Indy, I passed Lake Cycle on a whim. «Wow there is a Honda dealership nearby», I exclaimed. I was so excited, I took down their information and vowed to come back.
A couple of weeks ago, I stopped in. Just checking out the shop and the service area. Lots of men employees (probably bikers) and a couple of female workers. They may ride too, hell I do. Everyone greeted me with a smile and asked me if I needed help. I was just browsing around the store to check out their inventory. Nice amount of jackets, helmets and custom products. They really have a nice store. Bikes in the front when you come in, accessories and clothing in the back.
Towards the rear of the store is the service entrance. This is where I met their amazing service manager Dan De Young. He introduced himself and asked me about my bike. I told him I was interested in getting some new handlebars put on and a air horn. Dan told me whenever I was ready, I could bring my bike on in. Now this is unusual. Around this time of year, everyone is bringing their bikes to the shop to get service. Normally, you would have to make a appointment to drop off your bike. Dan must manage the schedule very well because when he told me to bring my bike in, I brought it later on that day. Dan said before any work was to be done, he would call me and let me know what services I would need. I have over 18,000 miles on my bike, so I know it was beyond time for a tuneup.
Now only did Dan call and let me know, he also quoted exact prices. Basically, I hadn’t had any maintenance done on my bike in 2 years. So my maintenance on the bike was more than my customs. Totally understandable. My bike was ready a week later and my bill was a little under $ 700. I was waiting on a day to take her out and blow the smoke out to see if everything was good. I just got back from my ride and I’m happy to say that Orange Crush is rockin’ and rollin’. (of course I named my bike, doesn’t everybody?!)
I must call and thank Dan again for the outstanding service. I’m also going to let my club members know that a great motorcycle shop is nearby to do excellent work on their bikes.
