RideNow Powersports Gainesville

Great shop Lot’s of nice bikes. I am going to give them a three because They advertised a bike at 1,999. I showed up with cash in hand and the price jumped to 2,700.
A bit of false advertising. Didn’t leave there with a good feeling.
Other than that seems like a pretty good spot. Salesmen were friendly and helpful. I think the blame falls on whoever created the Internet ad and then went back on it.

Me & a friend drove up from Orlando and purchased 2 bikes (2014 Hayabusa & 2014 GSXR 1000) from here. They gave us a pretty good deal. Thanks!

I gave them three stars because when me and my husband went to just look at bikes and had NO MONEY whatsoever in our pockets they tried to sell us a bike with little to no money down. And with extremely low monthly payments. Then we came with half of a thousand and now they can’t get me on a bike. So with that said I think I’ve seen what everyone been telling me about this place. It’s all about trying to sale not trying to see their customers happy. It’s about how much they can get from you. In other words. Go in with no money they want more money. Go in with money they want more money. Back to Harley I go. If I can save that much I’m getting a Harley.
Well, I gave them a 3 on Unilocal simply because they can be good but I don’t think they tried the last time we went. I am a new rider and I don’t know much about bikes or bike shops to really look to, except the one that I want which is Harley Davison and they have also been a help to me since we’ve been there. We love them and honestly with all the running around and running credit that ride now have done, we have decided to go back to them. I think this is all just personal preference when it comes to what bike to get and all. Honestly we don’t care what we get. I don’t because I just got my license and I need something to get around in town. Not go on tours. When we came here we simply asked them for beginner bikes and at this time we had no money we were just window shopping. They not only told us about bikes, but showed us and found one they think I would like, They also decided to run my husband’s credit after we told them that we were just looking and they made a great deal with us. $ 200 down and our monthly payments would be $ 183 but that was not the issue at the time. The issue was we were ONE window shopping, Two my husband had to get the 2015 frontier truck refinance and THREE we had no money to put down. So, we left and a month later my husband got a raise and a bonus check of $ 1,400 not to go into all details other than we had to pay rent out of that but I got $ 500 of that money. So we decided to go check out their sister which was in Ocala a week before this bonus check hit the mail and they asked for $ 500 down on a bike but I come back with the $ 500 the next following week, and they can’t do it, they need $ 2,500 down now for this M-​50 2015 Suzuki cruiser Boulevard. So, we went back Ride Now in Gainesville and they couldn’t give us the same deal we had a month ago on the same 2014 Honda Shadow Spirit bike which they say is the only one left in their showroom.
With that said, I said, I get it now. Basically something my dad told me who was a business man and others warned me about before we went to ride Now Store. It’s not about getting you on a bike it’s about the money. I am not sure who and how they got the bike to $ 200 down and $ 183 monthly payments but the fact I came back with more a month later should have told them that this lady who by the way doesn’t work is trying here but they didn’t see that and neither did they see it for my husband who is the ONLY one working. So now, they wanted $ 1,000 and the bank would have put the other $ 500to the one in with it, but he would have to pay it back. That’s the catch. We know how it works when we had our last care. We just got our truck last year October so,. we know how it goes. With that said it seems it’s really about what all’s been telling me. The money. And all break down because there’s people in my neighbourhood that has purchased from this place and I have asked them questions about this place and they seem to be OK but it’s always BUT so with that said hubby is tired of the long hours sitting waiting on the banks to do whatever and the jut hype when we didn’t come close to that at Harley Davidson because they are about business not about wasting time. And I don’t blame them because if you think about it, it takes hours to get them to talk them down to numbers… I am going to do what Ride Now is encouraging me to do. Hold on to your money and buy a Harley because what they are asking for is what Harley is asking for so why not? Right? Again, we didn’t ask for a expensive bike, we ask for a beginners bike something cheap, something I can learn on, something that can take me to the store which is a 5 min walk and to my mom house which is a 22 min drive. I will not be going out of town with it or anything, Just learning on it. But they couldn’t do that either so. Harley it is. We knew it all along anyways Harley was out place.
