Ian CheesemanMy coworker recently learned an expensive lesson. He has been dreaming of owning a motorcycle for years, and when he finally found what seemed like a great online deal, he jumped on it. The bike looked perfect—shiny, low mileage, and priced just right.
Sadly, a few things started going wrong after a few rides—the engine kept sputtering, and pretty soon, it wouldn’t even start. Yep, the dealer pretty much sold him a lemon.
Situations like this happen more often than you think, which is why buying from a trusted motorcycle dealer is crucial. So, to find a ride you love (without getting scammed), here are the most trusted motorcycle dealers in Toronto.
How much does a motorcycle cost in Toronto?
A motorcycle in Toronto can cost anywhere from $3000 for a used entry-level bike. It can go up to $30,000 for a high-end model from brands like Yamaha, Harley-Davidson, and BMW.
1. Snow City Cycle Marine
Snow City Cycle Marine has been a go-to spot for local riders since 1971. Their 12,500-square-foot space not only houses motorcycles but also ATVs, side-by-sides, and even personal watercraft.
Their new inventory is stacked with top brands like Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, and Triton. You can also browse gas-powered and electric motorcycles.
Looking to save a few bucks (or maybe a lot of money)? Check out their selection of pre-owned motorcycles, as well as their clearance inventory and promotions page.
Another bonus is their service department, staffed with three technicians who handle all makes and models from Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, and Kawasaki. They can pretty much handle everything—from small tune-ups to major repairs.
Sadly, their sales reps might not be as trained as their technicians. We heard about reps that not only give out wrong info but also have bad attitudes.
By far the best experience I’ve had buying something like this
“Just purchased a bike from snowcity and it was by far the best experience I’ve had buying something like this. Mike and Dave are absolutely great guys and definitely know how to take care of you, they helped me alot and answered any questions I had! I will be going to snowcity for now on for any of my needs! Thank you guys again you are the best.”

Best experience purchasing any toy/vehicle I have ever purchased
“I just purchased a z900 just recently, my friend recommended sales rep Sean Hearty.Sean made this purchasing experience the best experience purchasing any toy/vehicle I have ever purchased and trust me I have purchased a lot in my lifetime but this experience with Sean was the greatest one, Not only did he save me a lot of money by notifying me that a promo was coming up and to hold of on signing the finance which I truly appreciated, but the communication all the way through the process was top notch it was truly a great experience and I will highly recommend Sean if you are looking for a new bike or any toy the guy really goes above and beyond for his customers, He treats you like a friend and you can see that his mission is that his customers have a great and easy process as he does all the leg work in the background and it seems seamless, I know that if I ever purchase another bike again I will be returning to Sean, I will also be recommending him to anyone I know as he is the best in the business.”

2. Powersports T.O.
Powersports T.O. is another solid bike dealership if you’re looking for either new or used motorcycles.
Lightweight rides built for everyday use are their specialty. In fact, they carry Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, CF Moto, and Triumph, with options ranging from sports bikes and scooters, to cruisers and vintage models.
For pre-owned rides, they also carry Ducati and Indian, in addition to their main brands. Hopefully, you’ll be able to score a sweet deal.
Speaking of deals, don’t miss their online Promotions page. They even have a finance department to help set up a payment plan.
Now, if you’re looking to sell your ride, their service department takes care of marketing, negotiating, and preparing your bike to get it sold. They also have on-site licensed mechanics who perform Ontario Safety Inspections.
For the not-so-great part—we heard that their sales staff can be unfriendly.
#1 place for bikes!
“#1 place for bikes! You won’t regret! Exceptional service and attitude to clients! Those guys know their job! Special thanks to Michael for his support and service!”

3. Studio Cycle Group Inc.
Studio Cycle Group Inc. is a family-owned and operated motorcycle dealership that has been around since 2008.
As an authorized dealer for Husqvarna, Aprilia, and Moto Guzzi, their new stock comprises only these brands. So, if you’re looking for a brand outside this lineup, you might need to go elsewhere.
Their pre-owned bikes, however, include bikes outside those three brands. Examples include Ducati, Harley-Davidson, and Yamaha.
We also love their financing options, including deals like 0.99% APR for 24 months or 0% to 2.99% APR for 60 months.
Beyond bike sales, they also offer maintenance, upgrades, and repairs for motorcycles from model year 2005 or newer. Plus, they carry bike parts and accessories such as locks, grips, lighting, lubricants, cleaners, and luggage—pretty much a one-stop shop!
The BEST motorcycle store by far!
“I want to start by saying this is the BEST motorcycle store by far! No need to go anywhere else. I just got done with buying all my motorcycle gear and I had the best experience I could’ve asked for. When me and my fiancé walked in, we were greeted by Adam and the adorable cat Muppet. Adam was such an incredible help with every single part of this gear journey.”

Extremely pleasant and fun time at Studio Cycle
“COME HERE! Had an extremely pleasant and fun time at Studio Cycle. All the employees are so knowledgeable, professionals and have great personalities, especially Muppet. 10/10! Thank you, Adam, once again for your time, jokes, and care! You love what you do, and we can tell. ☺️”

4. VOS Motors
Since 2005, riders have known VOS Motors as Ontario’s largest sport bike dealer, specializing in Yamaha, Suzuki, Aprilia, Moto Guzzi, and Vespa motorcycles. In fact, they have over 100 new and used sports bikes at any given time!
Where do you house these many, many bikes? Why, at Canada’s biggest indoor motorcycle showroom, of course—it has a sleek black and white aesthetic that makes the bikes look even more stunning.
In addition to bikes, they also have a fully stocked Parts and Accessories Department, carrying big names like Alpinestar, Shoei, Rizoma, and Joe Rocket.
Financing is another highlight. They offer financing for every credit type and even provide on-the-spot financing for motorcycles, vehicles, and parts and accessories.
That said, we heard about some pretty shady behavior such as selling damaged bikes or not being upfront about a bike’s history.
I got a great bike for a fair price
“Awesome service and support throughout the process. The sales person (Eduardo) was always able to answer my questions and glad to welcome me to the store to show me the bike and address all my concerns. All the transaction details were explained to me properly and in the end I got a great bike for a fair price. Thanks VosMotors team.”

5. Royal Enfield
Royal Enfield has been manufacturing motorcycles since 1901, making it one of the oldest (and most legendary) brands in the industry. Known for classic, retro-style bikes, they have a strong following among vintage-loving riders.
At any given time, they have over 100 models in stock in a variety of colors, all of which can be ordered easily online. Parts and accessories are offered as well—perfect for those who love customizing their ride.
A cool perk is that you can book a test ride appointment.
Now, if you fall in love with a bike but can’t pay upfront, no worries. They offer financing on all their motorcycles.
And in case it breaks down, just take it to their onsite service center, and a Royal Enfield-certified technician will pre-diagnose and complete repairs.
The only downside is that they exclusively carry Royal Enfield—no other brands are available.
Dealership provided exceptional customer service
“The dealership provided exceptional customer service, adding to the unforgettable experience of riding the classic bike “the historic machine.” Mr. “JAG” is recommended for “actual bike riders.” A wealth of experience who took me and guided through the bullet classic 350 stealth black.”
