Newbie here,
Once my 1975 Yamaha DT400 sells, im going with a Scrambler. I live in the east bay, and wanted to know if anyone can recommend a decent dealer in my area? There is only a handful...
Cheers!

I bought my Bonnie at Moto Meccanica, in Santa Rosa. I'm very happy with them. They're a classy group, and they love the classic bikes. I've heard that Hattar Motorsports does a good job too.

Yep, I second the Moto Meccanica folks in Santa Rosa. They are a real, honest to god motorcycle shop; something that's become increasingly rare in this age of motor lifestyle poser boutiques.
The owner collects, displays, and I believe sells vintage Italian, German, and British motorcycles. They are dealers for Ducati, Moto Guzzi, and Triumph as well.
It really is a great place staffed by knowledgeable motorcycle enthusiasts. It would be well worth the trip to check them out.

I got me Bonnie lass at Hattar Motorsports in San Rafael. I would definitely go back to them.

Go see Jim at Ace Motorsports on E. 14th in San Leandro. He's a good guy, no BS.

I got my bike at Munroe Motors in San Francisco (the mission). They gave me a good deal, and the service department guys treat me really well. Service can can be busy, but they always give priority to people who buy their bikes from them.
good luck.

I've never been there, but the British Customs guy recommended the one in Santa Rosa when I asked who I should have install the 904 kit. Santa Rosa is a bit too far from me, but I'd sure believe British Customs.

I bought my bike at Munroe in San Francisco, but have started using Hattar in San Rafael. The dealership is excellent and one of the largest Triumph dealers in the area. The shop mechanics are also superb.

There's a good dealer in Melbourne but that is a bit far for you to go.
