Moto International

Test drove a bunch of motorcycles last summer including a Stelvio & a Caponord from Moto International. While shopping (at other dealers) for used Moto Guzzis, I called Dave and was given advice and help. Absolutely no hard sell. Really had the feeling that they were more interested in seeing me on a bike I loved regardless of where I got it. Ended up buying new from Dave who gave me a great deal on a Stelvio. I love the bike and am looking forward to dealing with this shop for a very long time.
This place is a total flashback to what the motorcycle business was like when it was full of people who loved motorcycles and were in business because they loved motorcycles. If you have an Aprilia or Moto Guzzi, you need to come here. If you don’t, come here anyway and visit. Then buy an Aprilia or Moto Guzzi because I want this shop to be around for a very long time. Good people selling great bikes.

I worked with Dave when I came and bought my Sport Bike from these guys. Fair and honest man. Never once did I feel he was out to get my money. Negotiations were fast and easy. He’s even an easy going guy to talk about bikes with, which made my visit just that much better. I recommend everyone to come check them out!

Solid and old school. Stunning and unique product lines, Dave is excellent to deal with, just a great guy in a small personal shop, doing business old school.
Love this place, and if you have a Moto Guzzi, you need to get down there.

Great folks. Micha and Jason provide some of the absolute best service and repair work I’ve experienced in my 5 years in the hobby. Dave (along with Garrett at Triumph of Seattle) is one of the best, most knowledgeable, and generally enthusiastic general managers I’ve met — if you share his enthusiasm, he’s happy to let you test ride just about any bike, even if you’re just window shopping. I always enjoy dropping by and spending my paycheck here. A true shop for two-​wheeled fans!

The best. Honest, mucho integrity concerning everything. Dave Is fantastic. Hoffa too…

Moto International is the place to go! They are the most knowledgeable and have excellent customer service. This is the shop to go to!

I just got home after a road trip from Seattle to Eugene on my new Aprilia Caponord. I can not say enough good things about my contact with Dave and his staff at Moto International. The transaction was flawless and service top notch. If you are looking to but a Aprilia or Guzzi, this is the shop to deal with. No matter where you are based out of they will cut you a great deal and follow it up with great service. A+++++++

If I’m not doing the work myself, there’s no other shop I’d trust to service my 2009 Moto Guzzi V7 Classic. While I purchased my bike second hand from a private party (but had it inspected and continue to service it here), two friends have made purchases from Moto International, one picking up a Moto Guzzi Breva, and the other an Aprilia RSV4. They both have been extremely happy with the sales and service.
Any negatives? Nothing to speak of, but for completeness — they’re a small shop. At the busiest times of year, you may need to wait a few days to book an appointment. They don’t have a massive inventory in stock, so you sometimes may need to wait a little while for a part to be ordered.
The thing that sets Moto Int’l apart for me is the excellent communication (when’s the last time you had a service place be super responsive to email inquiries and pick up the phone right away?), and the friendly attitude. As a first time Moto Guzzi owner, I had a number of questions as to what was «normal» when I brought my bike in for initial inspection, and my questions were thoroughly answered.

Have a Moto guzzi or an aprilia, no place better to go, don’t have one, but want one, no place better to go. This guy literally wrote a book on guzzis, look it up! Honest, straight, the best. This is not the best place in the Pacific Northwest, this may very well be the best shop in north America.

I have been riding bikes of all shapes and sizes for 23 years now, and Dave, Sarah, Micha, Jason and the team at Moto International are an awesome bunch, who really give a dam about motorcycling FIRST, and trying to put the hard sell on your SECOND. These guys remind of the good, old fashioned shops that got me hooked on riding all those years ago. They haven’t turned into car dealerships, like many of the shops have. They sell my favorite brand of bike… the mighty Moto Guzzi! and they are an awesome team. On the service side, no job is too big or small. Micha, and Jason are awesome and the best mechanics in town! Much love to them all. Buy your next bike there. You won’t regret it!

Consistently outstanding service year in, year out. I’ve been a customer for the last 5 years and have ALWAYS had great service. The team at Moto International is extremely professional, welcoming and knowledgable, and its this kind of service that builds customer loyalty: its why they keep getting 5 star ratings!
Amazing Bikes, Amazing Team.

Walking into Moto International you have no immediate sense of just how top notch this place is. The feel is of a working shop; small, packed with product, busy but relaxed in the best way. There is no fluff or attitude, just a motorcycle shop of the old school. Not an emporium, this is more like a family business where you are a member of the family too.
It seems redundant to add this glowing review, but these guys earn it. The most informed and consistent service in the business, a lineup of really attractive motorcycles and scooters, and fair dealings at every turn. Great advice, freely given if asked for and with no attitude.
If you want a Guzzi or Aprilia motorcycle or scooter, you can buy it here with total assurance that the ownership experience will be as satisfying as the day you rolled it out of the shop.
We are lucky to have them here. It doesn’t get better than this.

Outstanding service before, during, and literally years after purchasing my kick-​ass Aprilia Scarabeo 250.
Outstanding.

Although this is a local review site, I thought I would plug their internet sales as well. I bought a Breva Sport 1200 from them, sight unseen living outside Washington, DC. Dave offered a great price on an off year model, accessorized it exactly how I wanted and even talked me out of one option I was considering because he said other customers had been disappointed with that option. They arranged shipping and kept me updated with the process and movement of the bike. I can’t say enough good things about Moto International!

I drank too much coffee. someone gave me a sugurcube laced with Lsd accidently.
I called up to the store from Oakland ca.
Not only did I get the Right Parts but the parts department talked me down from the bad Acid trip.
The parts were delivered quick.
I finally came down.
I found my clothes in the freeway median next to my bike.
Now im going to take valium and have only 1 Gallon of coffee.
then finish my bike.
Thanks Moto International!

These guys are the best. Dave will bend over backward to help you, whether you deserve it or not. Like me. Top notch, two thumbs up, they deserve your business.

They know just about everything when it comes to Aprilia and ‘guzzi. They can get you the parts you need, and if the price isn’t reasonable, they’ll get you one that is.
Micah is just a wizard when it comes to fixing/​modifying Italian motorcycles. Tony over in parts has waited after hours at the store for almost an hour, just so I could pick up the part I needed to make my bike run. Eric is just an apprentice in the shop, but he spent almost two hours on the phone with me, for free, just trying to help me diagnose a problem.
I’ve never once had an experience here that wasn’t personal, friendly, and attentive. These guys love to «take care of the people that take care of them,» and pretty much nobody walks into that store twice without being greeted by their first name. I came into their circle by buying an RSV Mille and used them to service it. But buying a scooter or motorcycle from the guys at moto, not only do you get the bike, but you get a group of new friends who will stop at nothing to make sure you’re satisfied.
The only downside is that when it comes to emergency repairs, they tend to be too busy to get them in. A few days notice is all they really need.

Moto Guzzi motocycles are rare (and oh so wonderful) beasts, and we are lucky in Seattle to have one of the best dealerships in the country.
I had an excellent experience at the service department here. I bought a 2007 Griso from a Craigslist ad without having an inspection done (long, sad, complicated story you don’t want to hear). I took the bike in for plugs and all the fluids, and asked them to inspect it and let me know what they felt should be done. I pointed out an oil leak that I have been unable to find the source of.
They did everything I asked, tracked down the leak, and made a few minor adjustments. The price was fair, the bike was done on time, and the communications with them were good. The service manager, Micha, knew this was my first Guzzi, and took the time to explain some things about the bike that were really helpful.
First rate dealership.

Dave at Moto International completely took care of me, and then some. I walked in there lusting after the 2009 V7 Classic and walked out happy because Dave did his magic and gave me such a fantastic deal on it. Plus, he was really great at explaining to me the temperament of a Moto Guzzi. As a new rider, the V7 Classic is a perfect bike for me and it purrs as I ride down the road. But enough about my sexxxy bike, Moto International also sells both Moto Guzzi and Aprilla brands and their different sizes/​styles of motorcycles and scooters. Friendly people, excellent service, hot sexy motorcycles. Triple threat!

Two years ago I was between motorcycles and went to several dealers. At Moto International I met owner Dave, parts-​guy Greg, and service-​boss Micha. Dave let me test-​ride two of their 750cc Moto Guzzis. Other than the usual word of caution for a new motor, I was free to ride, within reason, anywhere I wanted. That was very nice. I bought a new Moto Guzzi Nevada Classic 750 shortly after that. Great bike and perfect for me after over 40 years of riding.
Compare that to the motorcycle dealer just down the street where a test ride on a new bike was limited to 3 miles.
Greg is great for getting parts ordered and Micha is great for advice and work when the need arises. This shop deserves all the praise it gets.
