Ive been a happy customer of Nichols for over a decade. William is one of those old-school mechanics that are pretty rare these days- smart, dependable, experienced, honest, and reasonable. Whatever the problem is, William will diagnose it, fix it the right way the first time, and get you back on the road pronto (unlike some shops where your bike disappears for months and the problem is not fixed right the first time). You know its a good shop when the mechanic doesnt mind you watching him work and its always a pleasure to watch William work his craft. I feel fortunate to have such a quality shop available to care for my Ducati.

Ive been coming to Nichils Sportbikes for 3 years now, every visit gets better & better. I ride out of my way just to come to Nichols.Came in with leaky bike, fixed it up in no time & still made it to work on time!Good Looks Will!

Best place to get your motorcycle serviced. William is the best you can find for Ducati or any other sport bike. He is skilled, fast and get you going within time. Also, his suggestions are honest and charges very normally for manual labor, wont burn your pocket.I always bring my bike here for annual service and other random checkups.

This place is the BEST repair and service shop in the Bay Area. The homie William is a super cool guy to talk to and he provides the best service as well!! Definitely would recommend over any shop...and plus prices are decent. But yeah good looks homie!!

Great high-end service for affordable prices.

Mounted my tires. Fast quick service.

Replacing the tires for my CBR929. Good service. I can get it back less than 2 hours. He charge me reasonable price. I recommend this store to other bikers

If you own a bike and need service, look no further! William is THE man.. Did an awesome job on my tire and chains... Best part he also gave me an appointment and it really helped me go about my day. Highly recommended!!

Great place to device motorcycle. William is super busy but charges a fair price. Had a slow leak in front tire. He I spexted it for an hour and couldnt find the leak. Didnt charge me for the time. Honest guy.

Got my tires changed on short notice. William did the job with a quickness and the price was great. Thank you William for the fast and excellent service. Would highly recommend.

Professional and responsive, great place. Trusted them with Ducati and KTM bikes for years.

Affordable and trustworthy

I cant speak highly enough of Nichols Sportbikes and William. Will takes pride in his work. His love for what he does, makes him not only a professional, but also an aficionado. I knew there was a timing/combustion issue with my 1198S CSE. I didnt have the tools and skills to resolve the issue myself, and other shops didnt even notice the issue. William was able to resolve the issue, inspect other things I had questions about, and completed the work quickly. While Im happy to be moving from the bay area, my next Ducati mechanic is going to have a high bar to meet.If you have a Ducati, you need to take it here for service or upgrades: You wont take it anywhere else afterwards.

Great service! I needed a Desmo valve adjustment and William got it done in no time. Would Highly recommend to friends in the area. Prices are fair, employees are friendly and knowledgeable.

Ive brought my monster 796 here, This is a solid no bs shop with good prices.

Got a flat on my way to work and limped my bike into Nichols Sportbikes around 11 am and was out the door all fixed up by 1 pm even though they had to order and pick up a new tube. William did a great job and was a very cool and pleasant guy to deal with. I plan to take my bike back for all my mc shop needs. Thanks again William.

Grate place! I needed help with my bike short notice before the holidays and was not charged any extra everyone else wanted to. They were very helpful and got my bike in fast. They will get all me business from here.

If you want your Ducati serviced or fixed, this is the place.Very patient and accommodating and they know the bikes.Pricing is transparent and I am a customer for life

I had bad experienced with their manager last 4-5 years but their technician, William is the man and so helpful guy always

Took my bike to Nichols for the first time and was VERY impressed with all the knowledge the team has! Unlike other shops where they just want to take the all your money and show no interest in you or care of your bike. Although I did not have major service done, just an oil change and all around inspection, I will definitely be back for future service! Nichols made me feel at ease and 100% confident that my bike will be taken care of as if was their own. Bravo to Nichols!! Excellent work.

Very professional, hard working and knowledgeable tech

Excellent work and good prices. I am very pleased. Will really knows his stuff.

Great service. My Ducati Scrambler rides like new.

Best coffee shop in Milpitas

Been coming to Nichols for many years now. They are the only shop I trust with my Ducati and my safety. If you havent seen their Yelp review, you should definitely do so and you will see these guys are the real deal.

This is the place to take your Ducati (or other bike) to for just about anything you need done. I can not say enough good things about them. They are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional and personable. They have very reasonable rates and these guys know what they are doing. If you are on a budget, they will be honest and up front about what needs to be done and what can wait. They catch stuff that the other guys dont. They will take you into the back an explain everything to you in detail if you have any questions about what they are doing or are going to do. Mike Lawrence is one of their top notch mechanics and is very passionate about bikes, as are all of them. When you stop by, check out Mikes 900ss parked out front, it is a thing of beauty. Your bike will be in good hands when you bring it to them....they are the best!

Just got my crank case breather in theMail I ordered for my Ducati. #1 they have 2 different sites listing 2 different prices. So I paid $150 for a silver breather and got this in the mail. They apparently were out of silver and didnt even bother to ask if I wanted to wait or if I wanted black. If I wanted black I would of ordered it. And it is supposed to include a installation wrench which isnt included. The bike has a nickel plated frame and swing arm and the silver is what I wanted. The fact that they dont even call to see if that is what I wanted is a terrible way to run a business. I couldnt imagine billing my customer a $150 and send them a different part without verifying if I want it.

I brought my 2013 Diavel to get the snapped gear shift return spring replace, This place is amazing the mechanics are so nice and low profile they are very knowledgeable on Ducati bikes. I brought the parts that i bought online just to avoid delay on fixing my bike. I gotta tell you guys this are very good!! Dont waste your time and money any issues on your Ducatis bring it to Nichols sports bikes and you wont be disappointed with their service.

These guys are really good. Highly recommend for motorcycle service and repairs.

Had a set of tires replaced a couple of months ago. Spend a ton of money getting repairs done. All of a sudden my valve stem is completely busted and they want to charge more to replace. If the valve stem was already bad it should have been caught and replaced with tire replacement. Poor customer service. They only care about their bottom line. Ill make sure not to refer anyone here and take my business elsewhere.

Easy in-and-out Saturday appointment to get tires installed on my Hyperstrada!

I recommend William at Nichols Sportbikes.The Ducati Diavel rear brake fluid is more challenging to bleed, due to the design and positioning of the bleeder valve and brake line.Other Ducati dealer shops in the Bay Area do not take the time to do the job correctly, since it is more time consuming (and less profitable to do it right), whereas William did take the time.The best part was that I learned a lot since I was able to observe the process of how William did this more professionally than the “official” Ducati “professional” service centers.Thank you again to William at Nichols Sportbikes for his integrity and professionalism.

These guys did my first service on my Ducati and were very helpful. Seemed like the kind of people youd have hanging around a garage on a weekend helping you work on something rather than a stuffy dealership.

Ive been getting my Monster serviced here for years, with over 100,000 miles on it, it needs extra TLC and the guys at Nichols are great at taking care of my motorbike!

Value, value, value. Quality service you can count on.William is an expert mechanic, really knowledgeable and rightous with his quotes.No slippery feel to the deal.Ill be back, nuff said. - DUCZILA

A friend referred me and the service by Will was quick and neat. I would go back next time I need something done on my Duc

Honest, fast, and quality work.

World renowned Ducati shop that we had service my wifes M750Sie when it was having issues cutting out. Turned it to be misadjusted by another Ducati tech from a Ducati dealer when we had the throttle bodies and idle CO tuned in their machine. The air screws were way out. Nicholas doesnt have their dyno anymore though :( lots of Ducs in the garage and in the lifts, they know their stuff.

These guys are the best. My ktms have never run better

Nichols Sportbike Service is amazing! Highly experienced crew, highly committed to getting it right every time, cant recommend them highly enough!

The fellas @ Nichols not only get the job done right the first time, but are a great bunch of guys. Took both my Ducs (97 M750 and 06 Sport 1000) here all the time. Sidenote; while @ a Ducati event it was stated by a good friend and rider that my Sport1000 (serviced by Nichols) was the only bike that day that sounded as though it had a proper tune...

Great service for ducati or any other type of bike. Great guys too

Amazing people, boutique shop that has honest pricing.

Excellent customer service is the main reason to do business here, price incredibly fair and inexpensive compared to other bike shops, highly recommend

Came here for the first time to get an oil change on my panigale and safety inspection, they did a great job checking everything and fixing problems they found, answered all my questions I had, I got recommend now Im recommending you :)
