A++++ 5th Gear Experience

Now that I've put the initial break-in hours on my Husky TE450, I feel the need to post.

I've known and ridden with Bill Hitchon (the owner of 5th Gear Motorsports) for almost 10 years. A good guy who really promotes everything associated with 2 wheeled motorsports.

Up until a few weeks ago, I had never been a customer of his.

"Time for a new bike", it was between the Yamaha & Husqvarna 450's. Ian bought a Husky from Bill back in December and said he had a good experience, so off I went.

  • No bullshit sales tactics, pressureor lies
  • Absolutely fair pricing on bike + accessories
  • Delivered on time
  • Properly PDI'd (which is a first for me, and I've owned bikes for over 20 years)
  • Accessories installed nicely, Bill jetted & setup the bike to my specs.
The purchase was a great experience. My first ride on it yesterday was a genuine treat. No buyers remorse.

My goal here is just to share my honest experience and put in a plug for a local independent shop who really seems to be 'doing it right'. I for one have been waiting many years for this type of experience.

Thanks Bill!

Thanks Mark

After all the negative feedback I have heard about some dealers, its about time that we get some good news about a dealer. Maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel?

Bill, keep up the good work. :tup::tup:We appreciate it.

TT

maybe now I can get a better deal on that 610:)
