Like most others there isn't much to celebrate here. The price quoted, whether buying or selling, fluctuates always favoring the business. Even online when they compete to buy your used ride they leave themselves a way out (to rip you off even after they agree to pay "X" amount) by claiming the bike wasn't as pictured [or otherwise]. When they should inspect it before any offer, but why their "Clause" is designed to defeat contract law as well as the old Latin adage of Caveat Emptor, don't be fooled take down their offer and sell privately.

I was disappointed with my recent experience at RideNow Gainesville. I was quoted one price over the phone and by text, but when I arrived, the total had increased by about $5,000. The new amount wasn’t reviewed with me until I asked about it. I recommend double-checking all pricing details in writing before moving forward.

I purchased a bike from them a couple of months ago that they had listed for a very low base price, then when I found out when it was all said and done, I couldn’t believe what they charged me for freight and so-called assembly they charged me a mind-boggling approximately $1800 for shipping normally it cost like $300 to ship a bike from California to North Carolina in the crate full-size Bike and I know this cause I’ve had several of them shipped to my house over the years and then they blindsided me again with a $1180 charge to basically take a motorcycle that is 85% complete out of a crate and finish it up. Doesn’t take more than an hour or two at best and they completely ripped me off and I have documents to prove it they are a bunch of scam artist stay away from them go onto the Better Business Bureau look up RideNow Powersports, and you see they have an F rating one of the worst ratings you can get in and read all of the bad reviews and all of the complaints

I bought a ducati panigale on June 11,I asked them if it had the desmo service done and Gabe said they verified that it was done.So everytime I asked for documented proof they continued to dance around the subject ,Very shady and dishonest salesman ,I didn't get the bike until almost 2 months,I verified the bike never got the desmo service, The head salesman aric stepped in and convinced me to get the bike he dropped the price 400 which I ended up putting that to the desmo service, they want another 600 from me to pay for the lie the salesman kept saying the bike had, Aric was a very nice guy but stepped in too late in the process bike finally got here 7 weeks later,the bag didn't have the mirrors in the picture advertised as promised, still no document of service, They lied about sending me a title I still don't have,already a 100 bucks in late fees and going up,we had to go above to contact az dmv,to get a title will take awhile,the bike was definitely wrecked on both sides very sad on a ducati and, rear spool broken off in swing arm took all day to fix left side broken shock cover and another piece that was a nightmare to get I spent many hours making the bike right,I will never buy a bike out of state again,this place is very dishonest Gabe and David need fired lie after lie,where very rude to my bank and me,unfortunately this nightmare isn't over,Will be a cold day in hell that I pay another 600,,I wish I would have got my money back this was definitely ridden on the track .same bike was for sale here in kc 8500 5000 miles clean,not 16,000.Lesson learned Do not do business here I read many negative reviews stating similar problems, NEVER AGAIN,NAMED THE BIKE NIGHTMARE

Spent quite a while today waiting to test drive a slingshot. Waited almost an hour, was taken thru the we need to run numbers first, then we can go for a test drive. I refused to allow my credit to be run, suddenly the manager who decides who can go on test ride, was to busy. I walked in with 5k cash and my harley info to trade in, waste of an hour. Filthy tactics. Ridenow in forney Tx

Had a bike that was in a wreak and needed an estimate for fixing it. Called RideNow North Fort Worth and was told the person I needed to talk to was busy and would call me back. After waiting 3 hours I called back and was told he never received a message to call me. Brought the bike in and explained what was needed. Called the next day to make sure they knew why it was there and was told they couldn't find the bike. It was not until the end of the day when they found it but it had no note as to why it was there. For the 5th time explained we needed an estimate for repairs. Next day got a call bike had been inspected and would get a call about the estimate. Never got a call so 45 mins before closing called and told he wanted to wait 3 days, the next business day, and go over the estimate. We told him no, we would come get the bike and estimate as we needed to get some other estimtes before deciding on repairs. Explained we would be there in 10 mins. When we arrived, were told the person who did the estimate was talking to the GM and we would have to wait. After several mins I asked if the estimate was available and he said he would check. Came back and was told person who checked the bike had it and was still unavailable. Told him we wanted the estimate now and this time he got it for us however it did not include labor cost. When I asked about this was told labor cost was not included since I didn't want them doing the repair. Given the bill for the inspection of damages and it included a $35 fee which turned out to be for towels. The bike was not taken apart. Was billed $100 more than what was quoted for the estimate. Told them I would not have them ever work on the bike and left.

I was recently pre-approved for a Polaris Slingshot and was excited to finalize everything at the dealership. However, when I arrived, I was told that the exact Slingshot I had been pre-approved for was being used for parts. This was not mentioned at all during the approval processor any of the many calls from the dealer. Instead of honoring the original deal, they tried to put me into another Slingshot that had visible damage – the fender was messed up – but told me I could "just get it fixed." To make matters worse, both Slingshots (including the one they claimed was being parted out) are still listed for sale online, as if nothing is wrong with them. That feels very dishonest. I came in with everything ready, expecting transparency and professionalism, but left with frustration and mistrust. If they’re willing to mislead customers about the condition and availability of vehicles, it really makes you question the rest of their business practices.

Unfortunately I have to change my review for Ride Now Beach Blvd Jacksonville, FL - Initially had a decent experience, I bought a KTM 890 R with the tech package. I sold my bike to my cousin and when it came out of Demo mode all the tech package went away, so Ride Now never loaded the tech package when I bought it. I called Ride Now spoke with Ryan and Alex which is the one that confirmed by email and who sent me the buyers order that they would reimburse me for it, Ride Now also can't give me the number that would associate the tech package to the bike so another dealer in my area can reload it. (Hint they never loaded it when I purchased it). I have been dealing with this for a month and have not seen a dime returned my way just keep getting flipped from Ryan to Alex. I guess Ride Now Beach Blvd Jacksonville, FL can sell you something and not provide it. I think this is called stealing; I have everything in WRITING! I sold my bike to my cousin and reimbursed him because he had it installed as the dealer said it was never installed. I reimbursed him as I sold the bike to him as it having the tech package, I Honored what I Sold. Thanks, Ride Now Beach Blvd Jacksonville, FL for Ripping me off. I usually don't send bad feedback but thought others should be aware of how they treated a customer that purchased products from them, I would stay very clear of Ride Now Beach Blvd Jacksonville, FL and use a different dealership that will honor what they sold.
