Google reviews:

It's costing a fortune, but I have an expensive foreign bike that's been without service for almost two years. Can't blame em. They have been very friendly though, and walked me through my estimate carefully. Before any work has been done I feel like I know more about my bike than before. Everything moves kind of slow here, and I had to call them every step. My bike was there almost a week before they even looked at it. In the end, they seem trustworthy and knowledgeable, and that's what really counts. Update: After service my bike rides better than ever. Customer service was very friendly, and they frequently checked in. They have about a thousand bikes, so they probably move as fast as they can. It's easy to tell why so many people trust them too. They even called to check up and make sure everything was running well after I got home. I haven't been to many motorcycle shops before, but this one stands out.read more

I contacted Combustion Cycles for information about scooters. Talia sent me such detailed emails back that I put a deposit on one over the phone. When I went to take delivery of it, the buying process was great. They also had an ample selection of highest quality helmets and locks, which I needed as well to get started. Then, not having ridden a moped since I was a kid, I was given a free orientation and allowed to use a loaner bike to practice around the parking lot and neighborhood of the cycle shop. In a few minutes I was ready to make the ride home in mine. I was walked through every detail of the scooter and helmet, and left with a huge smile. Had a blast riding it home, and actually am looking forward to going back to Combustion for maintenance.read more

I finally decided to get a new scooter after so many years, so I chose Combustion Cycles. Let me just say these guys went above and beyond what they needed to do. I was treated more like a friend than a potential buyer, to say I felt satisfied is an understatement. These guys won't let you leave unsatisfied and honestly I felt like they understand how customers need to be treated. If anyone needs a good scooter or motorcycle then these guys will be the friends you've been looking for.read more

Very personal experience. The woman behind the counter was extremely helpful and efficient. The guy that I talked to about the bike was very friendly as well and honest. He admitted that the the fairings had be repainted and that level of honesty in the secondhand market is almost non existent. If can get approved will definitely be buying from themread more

I think after my first experience with a bike shop and a series of unfortunate events, this place has the openness to call its customer to discuss a problem and find a forward resolution. We had a disagreement but they reached out and tried to understand why and fix it. Pretty uncommon it feels like, so I am changing my review.read more

Absolutely wonderful customer service!!! I bought a brand new Buddy 50. (I love it!) I am a scooter novice. The owner spent over 30 minutes with me after hours to help me learn how to ride safely. I really appreciated him and his team taking the extra mile to help me out. I wouldn't go anywhere else.read more

I have always had a good experience with combustion cycles. Good work at a good price and on time. Couple years back they overbored the cylinders for my 1972 Honda CL175 scrambler. This requires precise machining work (not just any shop can handle this type of job). The rebuilt engine now has over a thousand miles on it and counting!read more

I don't ever write reviews but the service and one on one attention I was given while my bike was being diagnosed and repaired was top notch at Combustion Cycles. I brought my bike to another shop only to be turned away because my bike was 'to old' to preform anything more then routine maintenance. I was left with a borrowed trailer that had a broken motorcycle on it and now I was going to be late to work. I found Combustion Cycles on Google. Called and was immediately connected with a helpful and knowledgeable staff that explained their process. I was able to drop off the bike later that day!! They took extreme care of my bike and were honest and hard working. They were able to explain to me what issues my bike had and walk me through the CORRECT way to fix it and get it back on the road safe. I also had the please of meeting the owner Dave! Such an awesome dude with a serious passion for motorcycles and doing right by his customers. I know summer time is busy for most shops in the area!! Don't hesitate to give Combustion Cycles a call if your normal shop is backed up. And if you don't have a shop yet please go check them out!! I found them by accident and I am glad that I did!!!! It is a great feeling when you know you have an honest and hard working shop in your back pocket for when you need them.read more

I've been going to Combustion Cycles for 5 bikes and ... almost 10 years? Let's just say it's been a while. The crew here is honest. Accessories, parts, and service are reasonably priced. Any service required will be explained. The team here will work on older bikes as well. In addition to service, I've ordered a helmet through them, attire, parts, and pick up basic maintenance stuff from their front room. Always reliable. Thanks, y'all.read more

Dave and crew are the best. I've dealt with them for about 10 years now but have always known Dave to be THE GUY you want working on your bike since before I even started riding. I'm on my 2nd bike purchased from Combustion and it was exactly what I was looking for. It is a small shop, so sometimes you do have to wait a bit to get your point across, but in my opinion it's worth it. 2015 Yamaha FZ-07read more

Been here for two state inspections and a massive tune-up after I purchased a used Suzuki GZ250. They've always been helpful, and as far as I can tell, fair. They picked up my bike when it died on the side of the road trying to get it to them. Repairs might have been a little pricey, but I'm still a new rider and figured I had to get the job done and well. No problems with the bike since they fixed her up.read more

Always a 5 star experience for me at Combustion Cycles near Avondale in Durham. I am happy to say that this has been my primary motorcycle shop in the Triangle area since I first moved here in the mid-2000's with my Triumph, and now with my BMW motorrad. They've done some custom work for me on that bike and perform top repair work.read more

I originally came looking for a bike they had posted, but it was already sold. I immediately fell in love with a red Vulcan they had in stock and picked it up that day. It ran like a dream for about a week and a half, found out the battery wasn’t charging, a faulty stator. I called and they got back to me the next day to make things right. Great prices and great customer service.read more

I bought a sport bike from an auction with 28k on the clock and knew I needed to take it to a reputable shop right away. Got referred here from a friend, dropped it off on a thursday i think. Spoke to John and he was VERY helpful, basically I gave him a budget and went through everything the bike needed (took a couple days). It got alot of maintenance done. New rear tire,fluids,brake line,spark plugs so on so on. It took about 2 weeks which was longer than expected but when your ordering parts shipping isnt always instant,no fault of the shop. The bike rides great,it went just UNDER BUDGET and the mechanics and staff i met were always helpful,smiling, just great customer service. John,Carlos,Ryan and the young lady up front showed me that they CARE about there customers. Will definitely spread the word around for COMBUSTION CYCLES!!read more

I both purchased a bike and also had repairs on another bike done so I have seen both the sales and service side. They have been great. Dave the owner was very fair on my purchase and Earl the mechanic was great with a repair even when it had to be looked after a second time. Courtney was super nice at the front desk. If you have a motorcycle or scooter I would recommend them but just understand these are machines and they can break down and be patient. I saw a non positive review and it seemed unreasonable. I have extensive experience in auto restoration and there are many factors that contribute to a well running machine and they stood by their work and were super helpful when mine needed a second look. I would highly recommend them and look forward to using them again and again.read more

Combustion is the only game in town for Genuine brand scooters. I had to have a warranty repair completed and in direct contradiction to Genuine Scooter's policies I was charged for the diagnosis. I communicated with the CEO of Genuine USA and they said that warranty repairs do NOT require a payment for diagnosing warranty covered repairs if the repair is covered under the warranty. I was charged a diagnosis fee. Be aware of what you are being charged for.read more

Feels like taking your bike to the family mechanic. You can trust that they'll do what you ask, as efficiently as possible.

My co-worker and I stopped in yesterday and picked up some bikes. The people here are the real deal. I picked the DR650. This is the second DR650 I've owned and this one is exactly how I remember my old one. With a little bounce I can torque the front wheel up in most gears, and it pulls out of turns like a bat out of hell. I'm getting some wobble on the front tire around 80-90 but it may just be the tread pattern. I am interested to see if it's the tire or the balance, but either way I still love the bike.read more

I went looking for a motorcycle shop to work on my good old Honda Rebel 250cc. I found Combustion Cycles and was very pleased with the work they did. What's more, I found my next bike, a Suzuki Boulevard C50T, while I was there! This bike is a big step up (it's 800cc), a step I'd wanted to take for a while. Cristian and the other folks at Combustion Cycles helped me think through the transition and got the Boulevard set up nicely for a test ride. Once I decided to purchase the bike, the process was fast and easy. I'm excited about my Boulevard and I'm looking forward to Combustion Cycles as my motorcycle shop.read more

I absolutely love this bike, and only Combustion could find a 95 fZR600R with under 5K original miles!! They are a one stop shopping, and service location I proudly represent as family.

Highly recommended. Both guys in the shop who I spoke with about my bike were so knowledgeable and easy to plan the repairs with. They also were really straight up about timing of repairs and got it all done ahead of time. I really appreciated that they did the underpromise/overdeliver, and the bike is running great.read more

I’m so happy I decided to take my new bike to Combustion Cycles in Durham for its first service. Some dealerships are better than others but there’s nothing like a locally owned shop where the owner is present and overseeing the daily operations of the business. We’re fortunate to have Dave and his team here in the Raleigh Durham area to count on for their reliable, professional work at a fair price. The five star reviews for Combustion Cycles are real!read more

I’m very glad to have this shop serving the Durham motorcycle community. I am pleased with their competence and with their customer service. I find their pricing to be completely fair. I made an appointment for service with only a one day wait, and they were waiting and ready to go right when they said. I was in and out the same morning even though I brought them a problem that required a lot of parts to be removed and reassembled. Overall, they exceeded my expectations.read more

I actually bought my (awesome) 2001 Honda RC51 from the shop, and sold my 2022 KTM 350SXF a while ago for a price I was very happy with. Great shop, great work, great guys. Dave is the owner and clearly cares about his customers and is happy to work with anyone who comes in. Very very knowledgeable about almost any bike.

I can't say enough good things about Combustion Cycles! Every time I take my scooter in for repairs or maintenance, I am met with exceptional service and a friendly atmosphere. The team is always ready to help, ensuring that my ride is not only running smoothly but also safe. They take the time to check everything thoroughly and explain what needs to be done, making sure I'm completely satisfied with the work. Christian has been particularly helpful throughout my experiences. He is always available to answer my questions and provides clear explanations about the services being performed. His dedication to customer care really stands out, and it’s clear he genuinely wants to help. I've been so impressed with their service that I ended up buying two bikes from them! Both purchases have been fantastic, and I couldn't be happier with my choices. The entire team at Combustion Cycles works seamlessly together, creating a welcoming environment that makes every visit enjoyable. If you're looking for a reliable place to service your scooter/motorcycle or purchase a bike, I highly recommend Combustion Cycles. Their commitment to customer satisfaction and safety is truly top-notch! Thank you for everything, Combustion Cycles!read more

A great group of folk. Honestly, I've never felt in better hands. My buddy bought a motorcycle from them, and it had issues starting. So they insisted he bring it back so they could "make it right.". After seeing that, I knew I was in good hands. They worked with me to get me on the bike I wanted. The whole process was easy. Now I'm riding an amazing Honda 650RR. I can not recommend this shop enough. These lads have a customer for life.read more

It's costing a fortune, but I have an expensive foreign bike that's been without service for almost two years. Can't blame em. They have been very friendly though, and walked me through my estimate carefully. Before any work has been done I feel like I know more about my bike than before. Everything moves kind of slow here, and I had to call them every step. My bike was there almost a week before they even looked at it. In the end, they seem trustworthy and knowledgeable, and that's what really counts. Update: After service my bike rides better than ever. Customer service was very friendly, and they frequently checked in. They have about a thousand bikes, so they probably move as fast as they can. It's easy to tell why so many people trust them too. They even called to check up and make sure everything was running well after I got home. I haven't been to many motorcycle shops before, but this one stands out.read more

I contacted Combustion Cycles for information about scooters. Talia sent me such detailed emails back that I put a deposit on one over the phone. When I went to take delivery of it, the buying process was great. They also had an ample selection of highest quality helmets and locks, which I needed as well to get started. Then, not having ridden a moped since I was a kid, I was given a free orientation and allowed to use a loaner bike to practice around the parking lot and neighborhood of the cycle shop. In a few minutes I was ready to make the ride home in mine. I was walked through every detail of the scooter and helmet, and left with a huge smile. Had a blast riding it home, and actually am looking forward to going back to Combustion for maintenance.read more

I finally decided to get a new scooter after so many years, so I chose Combustion Cycles. Let me just say these guys went above and beyond what they needed to do. I was treated more like a friend than a potential buyer, to say I felt satisfied is an understatement.

I think after my first experience with a bike shop and a series of unfortunate events, this place has the openness to call its customer to discuss a problem and find a forward resolution.

I have always had a good experience with combustion cycles. Good work at a good price and on time. Couple years back they overbored the cylinders for my 1972 Honda CL175 scrambler. This requires precise machining work (not just any shop can handle this type of job). The rebuilt engine now has over a thousand miles on it and counting!read more

I don't ever write reviews but the service and one on one attention I was given while my bike was being diagnosed and repaired was top notch at Combustion Cycles. I brought my bike to another shop only to be turned away because my bike was 'to old' to preform anything more then routine maintenance. I was left with a borrowed trailer that had a broken motorcycle on it and now I was going to be late to work. I found Combustion Cycles on Google. Called and was immediately connected with a helpful and knowledgeable staff that explained their process. I was able to drop off the bike later that day!! They took extreme care of my bike and were honest and hard working. They were able to explain to me what issues my bike had and walk me through the CORRECT way to fix it and get it back on the road safe. I also had the please of meeting the owner Dave! Such an awesome dude with a serious passion for motorcycles and doing right by his customers. I know summer time is busy for most shops in the area!! Don't hesitate to give Combustion Cycles a call if your normal shop is backed up. And if you don't have a shop yet please go check them out!! I found them by accident and I am glad that I did!!!! It is a great feeling when you know you have an honest and hard working shop in your back pocket for when you need them.read more

Been here for two state inspections and a massive tune-up after I purchased a used Suzuki GZ250. They've always been helpful, and as far as I can tell, fair.

I bought a sport bike from an auction with 28k on the clock and knew I needed to take it to a reputable shop right away. Got referred here from a friend, dropped it off on a thursday i think. Spoke to John and he was VERY helpful, basically I gave him a budget and went through everything the bike needed (took a couple days). It got alot of maintenance done. New rear tire,fluids,brake line,spark plugs so on so on. It took about 2 weeks which was longer than expected but when your ordering parts shipping isnt always instant,no fault of the shop. The bike rides great,it went just UNDER BUDGET and the mechanics and staff i met were always helpful,smiling, just great customer service. John,Carlos,Ryan and the young lady up front showed me that they CARE about there customers. Will definitely spread the word around for COMBUSTION CYCLES!!read more

I both purchased a bike and also had repairs on another bike done so I have seen both the sales and service side. They have been great. Dave the owner was very fair on my purchase and Earl the mechanic was great with a repair even when it had to be looked after a second time. Courtney was super nice at the front desk. If you have a motorcycle or scooter I would recommend them but just understand these are machines and they can break down and be patient. I saw a non positive review and it seemed unreasonable. I have extensive experience in auto restoration and there are many factors that contribute to a well running machine and they stood by their work and were super helpful when mine needed a second look. I would highly recommend them and look forward to using them again and again.read more

Combustion is the only game in town for Genuine brand scooters. I had to have a warranty repair completed and in direct contradiction to Genuine Scooter's policies I was charged for the diagnosis.

Picked up a project that has a set of r1 carburetors on it and I have zero knowledge about them. Went a spoke to these guys and they answered my questions and walked me through in detail with every question I asked. These dudes know what they're doing. Lots of knowledge and super cool. Definitely recommend.read more

Very professional and very helpful with my purchases and motorcycle maintenance. Definitely visit these guys if you have Honda needs or are looking for a used ride that's been professionally serviced. Bought my shadow two years ago and aside from my own mistakes, nothing mechanically has gone wrong with her. 5/5read more

I purchased a KLR 650 from Combustion Cycles about a month ago. Dave in the sales department helped me. He explained everything and answered all of my questions. The bike has turned out great and I'm having a blast on it. I'm so glad to be riding again! Make sure to check their inventory if you're looking for reliable motorcycle. Thanks!!!read more

My co-worker and I stopped in yesterday and picked up some bikes. The people here are the real deal. I picked the DR650. This is the second DR650 I've owned and this one is exactly how I remember my old one. With a little bounce I can torque the front wheel up in most gears, and it pulls out of turns like a bat out of hell. I'm getting some wobble on the front tire around 80-90 but it may just be the tread pattern. I am interested to see if it's the tire or the balance, but either way I still love the bike.read more

Competent, comprehensive, focused, friendly, and fair. We'd been 50cc scooter shopping for some months and have been to most of the dealers in the Triangle area; selection was limited, staff was scarce. We stopped by Combustion Cycles last Saturday morning and the staff there helped us into the right used scooter, all the appropriate gear, and got us sorted out with the DMV and insurance as well. We are big fans!read more

I needed to replace the tires on my BMW and didn't want to deal with the dealers in the area who always seem unwilling to give me a price until after the work is done. The opposite experience here where I was told exactly what the total cost would be. Added to that, everyone is friendly and the work was excellent. My BMW has found a new service home.read more

Fast, sharp, and reliable. These are the words that best describe the service at Combustion Cycles. Everyone in the shop was friendly and more than happy to answer any questions I had before and during the process of servicing my bike. Greeting me upon arrival and sending me off in better shape than when I arrived, I’d rate Combustion Cycles 10/10 and highly recommended it to any motorcyclist looking to get their bike serviced and the job done right. Thank you Combustion Cycles for making my experience wonderful!read more

So these guys are just really awesome people even if I wasn’t wanting to say their work on my scooter has been spectacular! They are always quick to get me in if I need an appointment and it never takes as long as I would have thought. Last time I went for a servicing they even discounted my service without me asking. Truly a great bike shop!read more

I went looking for a motorcycle shop to work on my good old Honda Rebel 250cc. I found Combustion Cycles and was very pleased with the work they did. What's more, I found my next bike, a Suzuki Boulevard C50T, while I was there! This bike is a big step up (it's 800cc), a step I'd wanted to take for a while. Cristian and the other folks at Combustion Cycles helped me think through the transition and got the Boulevard set up nicely for a test ride. Once I decided to purchase the bike, the process was fast and easy. I'm excited about my Boulevard and I'm looking forward to Combustion Cycles as my motorcycle shop.read more

This was my second Bike purchase from the Fellas at Combustion Cycles, and it was a great overall experience...AGAIN lol. Christian is a great guy, zero pressure, and they shipped the bike to me from Durham to Lumberton and kept everything within my Budget. I absolutely love this bike, and only Combustion could find a 95 fZR600R with under 5K original miles!! They are a one stop shopping, and service location I proudly represent as family. Don't do yourself a disservice, visit Christian and Dave...Tell em Ben sent ya!! A+++++++read more

Had visited Combustion Cycles about a year back when they had a big swap meet. Met some of the guys and thought this would be a good place to check back on if ever looking a motorcycle or service. Sure enough I found a bike on Craig's list posted by CC. Spoke to Cristian who was very helpful in making things happen. Very courteous and professional. Made an appointment and things went VERY Smooth. Bought the bike. We were very pleased with the bike, the deal, and the service. Plan to visit again for service on a couple other bikes. Would have NO Hesitation in purchasing another bike from CC. They treated us right.read more

Highly recommended. Both guys in the shop who I spoke with about my bike were so knowledgeable and easy to plan the repairs with. They also were really straight up about timing of repairs and got it all done ahead of time. I really appreciated that they did the underpromise/overdeliver, and the bike is running great.read more

I’m so happy I decided to take my new bike to Combustion Cycles in Durham for its first service. Some dealerships are better than others but there’s nothing like a locally owned shop where the owner is present and overseeing the daily operations of the business. We’re fortunate to have Dave and his team here in the Raleigh Durham area to count on for their reliable, professional work at a fair price. The five star reviews for Combustion Cycles are real!read more

I’m very glad to have this shop serving the Durham motorcycle community. I am pleased with their competence and with their customer service. I find their pricing to be completely fair. I made an appointment for service with only a one day wait, and they were waiting and ready to go right when they said. I was in and out the same morning even though I brought them a problem that required a lot of parts to be removed and reassembled. Overall, they exceeded my expectations.read more

So I just recently purchased another scooter from combustion cycles and I think they are great at what they do.

I highly recommend Combustion, I get tons of parts and tires for my bikes here and even helpful advice. The guys are very genuine, pay attention to their work, and are willing to help however they can. I actually bought my (awesome) 2001 Honda RC51 from the shop, and sold my 2022 KTM 350SXF a while ago for a price I was very happy with. Great shop, great work, great guys. Dave is the owner and clearly cares about his customers and is happy to work with anyone who comes in. Very very knowledgeable about almost any bike. Make sure to say hello to the bald guy up front, his name is Cristian and he’s always great to talk to!read more

I can't say enough good things about Combustion Cycles! Every time I take my scooter in for repairs or maintenance, I am met with exceptional service and a friendly atmosphere. The team is always ready to help, ensuring that my ride is not only running smoothly but also safe. They take the time to check everything thoroughly and explain what needs to be done, making sure I'm completely satisfied with the work. Christian has been particularly helpful throughout my experiences. He is always available to answer my questions and provides clear explanations about the services being performed. His dedication to customer care really stands out, and it’s clear he genuinely wants to help. I've been so impressed with their service that I ended up buying two bikes from them! Both purchases have been fantastic, and I couldn't be happier with my choices. The entire team at Combustion Cycles works seamlessly together, creating a welcoming environment that makes every visit enjoyable. If you're looking for a reliable place to service your scooter/motorcycle or purchase a bike, I highly recommend Combustion Cycles. Their commitment to customer satisfaction and safety is truly top-notch! Thank you for everything, Combustion Cycles!read more

Brought my motorcycle In for a state inspection, no appointment needed. Stopped in on a Saturday, there was an be rider ahead of me. Got the inspection done quickly. No real place to sit and wait. Staff were friendly and attentive. A small assortment of riding gear, maintenance items and some accessories are sold in the lobby area. All in all, pleasant experience and I’ll likely bring my bike here for service when needed.read more

A great group of folk. Honestly, I've never felt in better hands. My buddy bought a motorcycle from them, and it had issues starting. So they insisted he bring it back so they could "make it right.". After seeing that, I knew I was in good hands. They worked with me to get me on the bike I wanted. The whole process was easy. Now I'm riding an amazing Honda 650RR. I can not recommend this shop enough. These lads have a customer for life.read more
