i have to agree with you - the prices are pretty cheap, but be ready to spend the entire day there! there is a shortage of staff and a number of unhappy customers wandering around waiting for help. after an hour or so, i couldnt help but think to myself - whether i get p-o'ed or not, i'm leaving here with a new bike and tomorrow it wont matter! thats what got me through the experience.

 

I posted this almost four years ago, but it looks like their crappy practices finally caught up with them. Honda and Yamaha have yanked Procycle's floor plan, both springfield stores, and the columbia store are closed and all the product is being removed.

I now live in E. TN, but from 2003 until mid year 2006 I sold motorcycles in IL (Alton) just across the river from the St. Louis area. Procycle had a horrible reputation even way back then when you made your first post about them in 2004. The Missouri Attorney General brought charges against them back in late 2005 or 2006 as I recall, for the ever popular.........bait and switch thing. You could call them up and ask for a price on a bike and they would quote a price over the phone. Then when you asked the salesman if there were any freight, setup, or doc charges HE would say.......I don't charge for any of those things. So, you pack up the family van and take the kids with you for a road trip and a fun day while daddy buys a new motorcycle. Once you arrive at the store and start the process of purchasing the bike, the salesman would tell you that he mis-quoted the price and it was going to be $XXX higher than what you thought you were buying the bike for. If you fought with them hard enough, they might reduce the price back down to the original quoted price. Next step was the F and I office where you were going to get the final paper work done......right? F and I would then add on the freight charge, setup charge and anything else that they thought they could get away with.......including extended warranty....whether you wanted it or not. When you stated that the salesman said that there was no freight, setup and doc fees, they would tell you that HE didn't charge them........THEY did in the business office. I had several customers come in and tell me that story.....and the funny thing was.....it was almost the exact same story every single time that you heard it. They were relieved to find an honest dealer selling a bike at a great price at our store. So it's good to hear that the dealership is finally getting what they deserve...........walking papers!!!

 

Ya i bought my F'n bike there too.. they told me that the bike was crate damaged but im pretty sure that it was fucked and they replaced the plastics and the speedo...i hope this isnt the case but i dunno...they we're cock suckers.

 

Do you guys think i could sue them? like if i were to get my bike checked out and found that it was damaged not from crate damage??

 

you've got no proof. you wouldn't get far and you'd be poorer to boot because you'd pay for your court costs and Pro Cycle's too. it's very possible that they'd counter sue too for punitive damages.

 

If you guys bought a bike from there, you might want to check your batteries too. They like to put cheaper batteries that arent supposed to go with the bike.
