We were looking to sell our 2020 Kawasaki 1700 Valquero, we were told one price and made 2 trips there for them to look at it. Then the day we went to do the transaction they low balled us by $1000 saying because the tires that were on it weren’t factory tires. No they were better we told them. Since we needed to sell as we had just moved here etc. we sold it to them. 3 days later they have it listed for $$$$ more with those tires on it that they claimed had to be changed out. We will never recommend them or do any business with them ever again. “Crooks”

I have purchased 5 bikes from this company, 2 in Gainesville, 2 in Ocala, and 1 in Jacksonville on Blanding blvd. the first 4 were perfect, the 5th on however was far from acceptable.... I had just paid off one of the last dirtbikes and asked the sales crew to use that finance company and was informed i had to put down 4000.00. I said I had 1000.00 they suggested we try this program they had to help with down payments, called DIGNIFY. So I qualified for that loan as well and i bought the bike and left. The following Monday when I called the finance company I was informed the finance company didn't require any money down and that the dealership must have kept my 4000.00. When I called the dealer RIDENOW OF JACKSONVILLE,,,i was informed no one knew why I had to have such a large downpayment or where my money went or who we could ask,,,, I will never buy another bike from RIDENOW they stole my money , they're a bunch of crooks

ZERO STARS!! These people must only know motorcycles, because they did a horrible job on our Kawasaki KRX machine that was there for a warranty repair!!! First, they said we wouldn’t like the repair. (Hello, it’s unsafe without the repair. 🙄) Then, they kept the machine for almost 2 months. We get it back and stereo wires were left hanging everywhere. The vent tube was left sitting on the skid plate, which would have destroyed our machine if we went riding in mud/water. Bolts were missing from the heat shield, mud flaps, and they did not put oil back in the machine. Awful service and horrible job putting our machine back together!!!!! They should be ashamed!!🤬

BEWARE OF WOLVES IN SHEEPS CLOTHING!! Bought a Benelli TNT 135 from them have had nothing but issues with them since. Lied about having to take the GPS tracker off to get me a lower down payment after trying to hound me for a higher down payment for over an hour. However, it was in my initial paperwork of the bike that the GPS was supposed to be in there. Then took my bike back because the front wheel was improperly installed. They gave me nothing but troubles with that until I advised them that I was getting legal representation. Then he informed me that he would not only fix the front wheel of the bike but that they would also do the 500 mile service to make sure that I was a happy customer… unfortunately, this being my first bike, and me not thinking that I may be dealing with shady people I took his word for that….. long story short no service was actually performed and here I am with a warranty that is no longer valid because service wasn’t actually done when told it would and a knock in a motor that only has 2000 miles on it and was basically told that I have a $4500 lawn ornament now. Not to mention that when I first bought it, some of the bolts were coming loose and a couple of them were Fingertight. I took it to them to try to get them to tighten everything down and make sure everything was good to go a and they tried to charge me $125 for tightening everything down however, when I went out and looked at the bike and check those bolts all the ones that were Fingertight were still, Fingertight and never touched. I would highly suggest that you do not go to ride now in Gainesville and instead you make the 40 minute trip to the ride now in Ocala to make your purchase instead and save you a ton of hassle in the long run. This ride now is a franchise. It has nothing to do with the Ocala branch. The Ocala branch was professional informative. And all of their mechanics are certified. Most importantly, it was clean. I would suggest you stay away from the filthy scammers that work at this undeniably filthy run down shop.

They tried to charge me an extra $2000 for a older bike when competition is selling newer models cheaper. This is deceptive advertising and price gouging.

Went in to ride now of Gaineville florida. To price out can am trikes. Sales pushed and pushed to get me to buy a top line bike. Wanted 5500.00 down. Then switched things to make the sale. Price marked up to almost 18000.00 , with lots of Mark up add ons. Very unprofessional sales

This Company is a Fraud. They advertise items for sale that are not in stock commonly. Then they try to upsell you or charge you a Destination Fee of 100 bucks because they too lazy to keep the Store stocked! CANCEL THIS COMPANY. BUY CHINESE BIKES.

I normally don’t leave reviews because everybody has an off day, but this was more than that. I made an appointment one week in advance to purchase a watercraft that was listed on the website. I work construction and we work on Saturdays; I scheduled the day off of work. The unit was a brand new unit that was a leftover from the previous model year, so I was willing to drive 50 miles each way to pick it up. I confirmed the unit was available by sending a link to the website advertisement and they confirmed. I received a text the evening prior to my 9:15 am appointment asking me to confirm that I would be there, and I responded to it. I loaded my trade into my truck in the morning, and I began driving to the store across town. 40 minutes later and a few miles from the dealership, I received a call letting me know that they couldn’t sell me the unit because it was missing parts, but they could show me other units. I turned around and went home.
