Eric was wonderful in describing what was wrong with our bike. Repairs were finished quickly and we were able to ride on this beautiful day. I highly recommend them.
I cannot say enough great things about Flying Tiger! Shop openers were so kind and informative! Owners swiftly ordered a few things for me that are not normally kept on the shelves, AND they arrived in two days! 20/10! Bonus points for having two of the sweetest and well behaved dogs I’ve ever met in the store.
Excellent neighborhood shop. U got to support local neighborhood business. Great price and beautiful dogs. Had tire changed. I brought my own tire with me. Highly recommended and will always support them.
Nice folks, very helpful, good prices.
Eric and everyone at Flying Tiger are the best. Theyre honest, friendly, and provide quality service as promptly as possible. You can trust that theyll do fine work for a fair price. They always have time for your questions. Visiting with their very friendly dogs, Steve and Bird, is a delight as well. All the work theyve done on my XR650L has been great.
When I originally contacted Flying Tiger Motorcycles, I was able to set up an appointment really easily online. When I showed up in store they were very welcoming and friendly. I originally came in to have an oil change and a general check up on my bike. The mechanic was very knowledgeable and informative about how to keep my bike in the best condition. He also told me about his personal recommendations on how to move forwards after discovering many metal shavings in my oil filter. Being a native of St. Louis yet living across the country; I must say that I am very impressed with this company and that their rates are very reasonable for the services performed. Personally I think it’s rare to find an honest mechanic shop that doesn’t gouge on prices or oversell you on services and parts that you don’t need. This shop does neither of the two. They have made a lifelong customer from me, should I return back to the Saint Louis area in the future. 10/10!
Flying Tiger sold two of my bikes on consignment for me. Selling a motorcycle is typically a PITA if you try and do it yourself. I got a good price for my bikes and they received more exposure than if I would have advertised online. Not having to show the bike and still being in on the negotiation process was worth it. Great shop.
Great service and staff. I love their clothing and brand, too. The smoke scented candles are brilliant.
I bought a Vespa from Moto Europa, but they seemed to prefer to work on anything BUT my Vespa, so I found Flying Tiger...They are 5 stars all the way - love them and their service! We will be taking both our bikes to them for service from now on - my 2020 Vespa and my husbands 2019 Harley Iron 883. They are great!
Friendly, helpful, and cool bikes to look at. No frat boys trying to sell you bikes here. More of a service and customization shop.
Iv had work done here before and they were great. Just tried asking about getting an older honda elite scooter running and they just flat out declined to work on it without even seeing it. A place that prides there selves on vintage scooter restoration and they declined my business sight unseen.
They are the real deal. So awesome to see a small motorcycle retailer do a great job compared to the larger competition, while staying cool, genuine and friendly.
I let our Yamaha C3 Scooter sit in the garage for almost a year. When I went to start it, it sounded awful. I assumed it needed an oil change, new battery, flush the fuel, and replace the spark plug.So I brought it in to service all of the above.Flying Tiger diagnosed that all it needed was a new battery and oil change.They could have easily ran up the bill and done all the extra work that I requested. This is an honest shop and great to work with!and the scooter is now running better than new!!
Bought a new 2017 Moto Guzzi V7 III Stone this year from the Flying Tiger crew and had a few custom touches added. Satisfying experience from start to finish. Teresa and Eric are simply good folks and business professionals. The entire team is knowledgeable and attentive to the needs of their customers. They know their stuff.Welcoming, inviting…pressure free environment. Highly recommended if you are in the market or just considering. Stop by you won’t be disappointed.Rich
Awesome custom shop and dealer of Genuine & Moto Guzzi Motorcycles. Has some awesome Triumphs, BSA, and other classic bikes available. They also do custom builds with several of their bikes in the front window. Definitely a must stop for any Motorcycle lover. Give their shop dog Steve a pat on the head when he greets you at the door.
Best Shop Ever
Couldn’t be happier with the service provided. They fixed my used Genuine scooter and it runs better now than when I bought it. Thank you!
Im a repeat customer who has taken two different bikes in for service. They are always prompt and upfront about pricing. They are great about diagnosing issues and open to suggestions. Im confident my bike is in great mechanical condition after leaving their service. Thanks!
These folks know bikes. They got mine running better than brand new in my opinion. Are they the cheapest, no, but they are fair and reasonable, and do you want the cheapest shop working on your bike? Hells NO! Remember your life depends on your bike performing and running as it should, so you can take chances with other shops, but you can depend on the fact that these guys and gals will get your machine running in tip top condition. I had never tried them before, but now I won’t go anywhere else!
Good people😎
Very informative and passionate about their work! These guys know motorcycles and will treat you right. Outstanding people that are very clear and fair.
Always a stellar experience! Eric and Theresa are salt of the earth, it gets no better this, folks. The shop works on it all and has turned out some award winning one-offs.
Great selection of classic/cafe racer style bikes. Amazing service. Went in to see if I could get my chain length adjuster looked at and replaced, and at no charge, they just fixed the small part for me. I wouldnt expect most things to be free, but that was a really nice small gesture from a great group bike enthusiasts. They made a customer that day, for sure.
Brought my Zero FXS in for service and had a great experience. They were able to identify the problem, and worked with Zero in getting a replacement part, all while keeping me informed the whole time. Had no trouble getting the service covered under the bikes original 2-year warranty. Knowing there is a reputable, approachable Zero dealer in town definitely makes me more comfortable riding an electric bike. Would recommend.
Bought my scooter here 3 or so years ago and it is still running like a champ. They have a good selection of motorcycles and scooters new and used. They also have a parts counter if you like to do stuff yourself and they appear to work on motorcycles and scooters as well.
I brought my scooter in for repairs and they were great! From my first telephone inquiry about their services to the end of the transaction completely professional and very helpful. I will use their services exclusively from now on.
I was only there once in my dirty work clothes. I guess they didnt think I had enough money to buy a motorcycle. Salesman didnt seem interested and selling anyting. But there was some cool bikes to check out. I guess you have to wave the money in your hand to get their attention. Bought a bike from somewhere else
Friendly and helpful staff. Good selection of motorcycles and gear. Bought tires here and had them installed. Great place.
Excellent service - short notice before trip. Matt got me set up and turned my bike over to Drew the mechanic. Friendly, efficient and an overall excellent experience. My wife and I will take our bikes to Flying Tiger for service from now on. Thanks gentlemen.
Great place, great people, great service! I have never ridden before and Eric patiently taught me. Just brought my bike in for first scheduled service; like visiting with friends.😀
This is place by far one of the best shops Ive dealt with. New to area and they treat like a lifelong customer. Most shops forget about making the customer feel appreciated. Their prices are very reasonable, and also very honest. I recommend everyone i know looking to have work done, go there. I for will always. Theyve earned the right to have me as a lifelong customer.Steve
Nice shop and very friendly staff. Eric is very knowledgeable and helpful. We are from Oklahoma and decided to check out the shop and are very glad we did. Would definitely recommend this shop
Couldnt be happier with the service and professionalism at Flying Tiger. Eric and Teresa run a great, honest shop. Eric helped me realize the vision of my custom build -- Its perfect.Jerry
Low stress, low pressure.Helped me, come to my decisions, not pressured me.Very comfortable and friendly place.Good quality equipment.Instill absolute confidence, in the quality of maintenance.
Great owners. Good selection of bikes.
Professional. Knowledgeable staff. Nice selection of Guzzis
This is the second time I have had my bike in, and again, I was very pleasantly surprised. I got my bike back much faster than I expected and they were very reasonable. They are so friendly and so honest, Ill definitely be back! Love them!
Was recommended to the shop by friends at local high end dealership where I have most work done on my larger displacement German bikes. Ordered tires for my project build - an 80’s era Yamaha SR250 and paid in full upfront. Six weeks later, no tires, no emails, calls, smoke signals or other attempts to get in touch with me. They were stumped by the tire sizes. They were pleasant and promptly refunded my purchase after I stopped by. I found the tires I needed after quick search on BikeBandit - and will have my friends install. Should have done that in first place but thought I’d take chance with a local and nearby shop. They do have a nice variety of steampunk Nick-Nacks and leather scented candles if you are in the market for such things.
This place is great and they can do it all this is the only place I take my bike
I bought a new Motorcycle here and was charged full price for an almost two year old bike. They dont seem to want to deal. Also, the sales guy removed a rack that was on the bike when it was on the showroom floor, saying it wasnt part of the deal. I also was charged over $800 for servicing a single cylinder 89 Yamaha on/off road bike that I purchased elsewhere and it never did run properly when I got it back. I wont be going back.
Hip motorcycle and scooter shop and dealership. Nice selection of quality machines and there was a dog hanging out when I visited. Recommended
Bought their 2-stroke candle. Disappointing that it didnt even have the slight smell of 2-stroke fumes. Myself and several others could not even smell it burning in the room. Even hovering over the candle it has little to no smell at all. Basically an unscented candle. Shipping was quick & the package is nice. But overall a let down. Roughly 3 hours of burn time so far
Picked up my 2017 Zero FX...Super friendly, knowledgeable staff. Had the bike I wanted in stock for me and got me out the door with it no hassles or surprises. No experience with the service department yet, will update when I do.
Well, lets see to begin with they WILL work on a 1979 Honda CX500! Unlike a few other repair shops in St. Louis, I am beginning to understand what they were talking about with no attitude!! When I spoke to one of their staff members on the phone, they were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. In fact I was on the phone for what I thought would be a minute or so, but instead, about twenty five minutes discussing different need to know info about the bike that I just purchased. My first impression: WOW!!, I am going to be going to them exclusively for service, or any other needs that I have. Plus, they made me feel warm and toasty about owning an older bike!!!! They are worth bringing back to life and enjoying!!!!Cheers, Flying Tigers!!!
Awesome in-town bike shop that Services and sells Royal Enfield and Moto Guzzi brand motorcycles along with scooters too! With cool bikes comes cool gear and personalized gifts like t-shirts, mugs and candles. If you have a motorcycle license, ask about demo rides on any of their machines. Worth a look into for the rider who is looking to stand out and ride with something different.
Recently brought my used Honda Forza in to get a tire replaced. Not only did they replace the tire but they cleaned up the bike and tuned her up. The bike rode better than when I got it!
I think I was a loyal customers for years, never missed a check up date, but I constantly had engine issue with my scooter, I spent well over $2G in maintenance over the past 2-3year( maintenance obviously should be factored in, but my amount for a scooter seems a bit overly high) I started having problems around 5,000miles and now at 11,xxx it barely runs and it sounds terrible... Last summer I had a performance kit upgrade which I used for about 3months and stopped using during the fall/winter.. I was planning to ride this spring/summer and it would not start the shop replace the top-end with no charge which was nice, but the ride home it started acting up again and it sounds bad!I’m very disappointed how things were handled experience, going to sell the scooter and say goodbye FTM.. what a bummer..
Did a great job working on my Harley. Very pleasurable experience.
I took my yamaha r3 for the 600 miles break in service and theyve completed all the tasks in less then an hour. It costs me only 94 dollars where other service shops asked for 250-300 dollars. The changed the oil,filter, checked break fluid, adjusted the chain and lube the chain also,tighten up the clutch and throttle, everything you need for the break in service. the owner Erich and service person Nick explained to me every service they performed on my motorcycle.I will definitely do my next service from them...
If you want great service and to feel like you are family rather than a customer, then this is the place.
After a serious wreck, my bike was really trashed. Did not ever think I would see this on the road again but wanted to try for sentimental reasons (its complicated). Anyway, Flying Tiger? No attitude +++++. These people are great, they were honest and up front with me all the way through the repair process. I was totally comfortable that they were not sticking me with something I did not need. Honest, dependable and they will take the time to talk to you. Whats not to like? They are hands down the best in STL.
High priced scooters and parts not a good place to buy or service Chinese scooters
Very cool little motorcycle shop, the staff was friendly and not pushy. Id go back.
My wife bought her scooter from them in the spring. The staff are all incredibly helpful. You will leave feeling like you are family!
Best bike shop in town. Nice folks, knowledgeable mechanics and labor prices extremely reasonable. So far I have had the following bikes at the Tiger-Shop;1993 Dyna Wideglide1986 Suzuki Cavalcade1982 Yamaha XS 6502002 Dyna Wideglide1986 Yamaha Riva 1251985 Yamaha Venture RoyaleOnly shop in town Ill take my bikes to.Sincerely, A Tiger Fan
Very Helpful staff. nice small shop very well stocked with parts.
Great bunch of folks I appreciate their service
Flying tigers did an excellent job on my xs650 bobber. They were a bitLate but, the shop was overwhelmed with business. I will definitely do business with flying tigers again!Thanks to all of the staff!Brian Mason
Terrific people and their service was terrific. Great selection of bikes to choose from.
If you like riding things that make a lot of noise than this is the place for you. Just remember to wear protection. Riding can be dangerous and messy without it.
Helpful staff and nice atmosphere. The Biltwell helmet I bought from you is great!
Well run business by people who care and are knowledgeable.
It was fun socializing with Ryan while I waited for maintenance work to be finished! 🏍 Thanks F.T. CREW!
Ryan was super friendly and helpful, no pressure.
Always kind and honest. Will never go anywhere else unless Flying Tiger recommends.
UPDATE: They still havent fixed any of the problems they caused and harrassed me over the phone for this review. After accepting a tow of my bike Eric called and said it was on the street with the keys in it because of this review. Now you know there are consequences -Eric. I sorely wish there was another Genuine dealer I could go to.Didnt exactly inspire confidence.They charged me almost 50% more for the service than they said they would.The next time I came in it was because a luggage rack that they had charged to install had come loose and damaged the paint. They agreed to fix it, took my name and number and never called. AFAIK their plan was to forget about it.More recently I had a minor impact with a deer and smashed the fairings around the turn signal. Fortunately the damage was cosmetic. I called and was, in the same conversation, told it would take two weeks but also it could get fixed right away if someone found time.When I called back I talked to a different person who made NO MENTION of any kind of 2 week wait or backlog. You might be noticing a theme of mixed-messages and poor communication.I was told it was just a matter of waiting for the insurance company to accept the claim and send the check and then Genuine would send the parts next day.If youre like me and your bike is your only mode of transportation you might be a little anxious to have it back or at least know when it will be finished. This is not the shop for you. Other than the initial vague mention of two weeks (which was immediately reversed when she implied that maybe it would get done right away) I have not been able to wring even the hint of a time estimate out of them. First they blamed the insurance company and assured me parts would ship quickly. Then they blamed Genuine for not sending the parts. After telling me several times that they would ship next day they dont even seem to know where the parts are or if they have been ordered.At this point Im sick of getting no answers. Im especially sick of the snippy attitude I get when I call to find out the status of things. (Believe it or not Im polite on the phone and generally dont call more than once every couple of days) Of course I wouldnt have to keep calling if I could get a straight answer about when it will be finished, as it is I have to keep finding rides for work without any kind of solid estimate about when my bike will be done.Today Id had enough and asked if the bike was rideable, if I have to wait another week for parts to come in I might as well ride the bike until then. I didnt get a straight answer at first so I asked a couple more times. yes its safe are you going to pay for repairs?I say no, Im not going to pay for work that hasnt even been started. Eric gets on the line and tells me that he cant let the bike go unless I pay for it. That would be reasonable if the following werent true:1: The bike has had NO WORK DONE. They dont even have the parts and cant give me an answer about where they are, when they will arrive or if they have even been ordered.2: The insurance company has already approved their estimate and mailed them a check A WEEK AGO. I only have $100 deductible so it cant be that either.3: Ive been told that I cant access my own property because of work that has ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR BUT NOT STARTED.I really dont think its unreasonable to expect some kind of solid estimate for when work will be completed. Every time I call the gal who works in the office talks to me like she just had to put down a wrench to answer the phone. No really, she implied that it was going to take longer because I called once a day or so..I get told that shipping for the parts will be very quick and then repairs will happen the same day and then I get crabbed at because a different person told me a different answer and I didnt correctly guess which one to believe.
Super friendly, all new and expensive but nice
Back in 2014, I purchased a scooter there. I was very happy with the sale and service I had gotten. See Eric.!!
Great management and excellent customer service...consumer for life:)
Been taking my 2002 honda cbr there for almost 4 years now. Nothing but good work at very fair prices. He even repaired my dads Taiwan scooter that no other shop in town wanted to touch, because parts where to hard to find. From a $25000 harley, to a $500 scooter, I recomend this shop to anyone.
Great place. See Eric!!
Picked up a new (to me) bike on Friday and rode all weekend. By Monday, I was pretty sure the bike had a clogged jet. Found this shop (which Ive passed dozens of times and never noticed) while out on a ride today and stopped in - no appointment, no notice. Theresia told me they could do a once over on the bike and give me an opinion. I didnt expect much more than a listen and walk around outside. However, Tim moved several bikes just to get mine in the shop and on the lift, then spent about 20 minutes going over the bike and checking it out! Tim confirmed my suspicions about the carb jets AND was able to tell me that it was an idler jet (not the main) AND that it was the front carb not the rear. Moreover, Tim was able to explain exactly how he knew this and what needed to be done. Also suggested one-step larger idler jets for improved flow and cooler running. Tim then aired up my tires, checked the brakes and sent me on my way. Great shop, great people, great business. I usually do my own work b/c I enjoy it and like to save money, but Im planning to leave the bike with Flying Tiger next week for a carb clean and jet replacement. Cant say enough good things. -William
Awesome awesome awesome addition to Maplewood. Central and easy to get to. Dont rape you on tows, and are generally free on pickups and tows anyway. Eric Bess is a big hearted guy and very knowledgable. They have some sweet t-shirts too. Tim tuned and rebuilt engine on my Suzuki and did a phenominal job. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Teresa is fantastic too. Feel comfortable with them, honest shop. Cool bikes for sale as well. Great retro starter bikes, even nearly new ones too.
Had seen the vintage bikes listed on craigslist and was curious what type of dealer and where it was located. Rode up on lunch break, looked over the bikes, and talked to Eric, the owner. Was so friendly, that the next time I had a question, went on lunch break for advice with a dirty set of carbs. Walked up to Eric and asked some questions, and he started to tell me how to take apart carbs. Told him I had them with me, and Eric proceded to disassemble the carbs, and show me how to properly clean them. Eric is a true enthusiast, and always willing to take the time to tell you the proper way something should be done. Looking for a small bike for my nephew, and this is the first dealer I will contact. Some nice smaller vintage bikes there now.
Just bought some Motoman oil & leather candles and looked around a bit, also asked about when the new Royal Enfield Interceptor will arrive...Jan 2019 is projected time frame.
Service is fantastic. Very friendly.
Very Helpful
The old and the new in a eclectic, friendly atmosphere
You have to pay for priority shipping or next day shipping and yet it takes 7 to 10 days to process order..?? So it is not really priority shipping is it. Really a week to just process an order and have it ready to ship out??
Very friendly and helpful staff
Bought a Moto Guzzi there, friendly staff
Helpful staff, dreamy merchandise!
Helpful friendly folks.
Salesmen will go out of there way to help. Woman manger not helpful very negative

Good service

Very helpful!
Great service!
Knowledgeable and friendly
Really good
