We love all the friendly faces, helpful staff, and great support we find at Champion Honda! Kenny, Quincy, Noah...everyone there is knowledgeable, helpful, and happy to go out of their way to make sure our bikes are running in tip top shape! Many thanks from the guys at Moto Photo Adventures!!!

Went in to possibly buy my 5th Ducati. Salesman (Trell) was great and helpful. I wasnt a huge fan of the way the service department treated me when I asked about some maintenance (lack of, as it turned out) on the bike I was looking at. Not how I am used to being treated at a BMW/Ducati dealership. Maybe I caught the guy on a bad day, but I am definitely turned off by the fact they they are selling a bike like that with it being way overdue on some critical maintenance items. I think Ill be driving to Charlotte unfortunately as I am local to this dealership.

Outstanding Ducati Dealership! From the store manager to the sales department to the parts and service department, everyone was extremely friendly, attentive and highly knowledgeable. They went above and beyond to ensure my first experience purchasing a brand new Ducati was a great success; everything went smoothly with no hiccups, and I LOVE the bike!The store manager Kennys communication throughout the process was outstanding and much better than youd expect from any dealership. Its evident from the first time you step into the dealership that these folks truly care about providing a top-notch purchasing experience. They make every effort to ensure complete customer satisfaction, and I am 100% a very satisfied customer.I highly recommend Champion Honda BMW Ducati to anyone looking for great service from honest, knowledgeable, hardworking folks. I will definitely buy my next bike from these guys...they were wonderful to work with. A+ dealership...THANK YOU!

Great group of people. Very helpful and fair pricing.

Labor rate is $110 per hour. The service on my BMW took 58 minutes but the dealer decided to charge me for 2 hours of labor instead ($220). I reached out to bmw North America and was informed that dealers are independently owned and operated that had no bearing over this. Never in my life heard of something like this and will never buy anything here again.

Great experience. The people are great and the deals are reasonable. Great environment and really care about their product.

Small town feel even though youre in Charleston. The people are very friendly, knowledgeable and willing to go above and beyond. The only downside is that its small, so their inventory is small; however, theyre very responsive and can get what you need quickly.

Eric J., Parts Manager took the time to listen and find the parts I needed for my Ride. Its almost impossible to know the name of every part on a bike unless you deal with it on a frequent basis. Hes been doing it for a little over twenty year(s) to find the parts that you need at an reasonable price if they cant order it from stock or from another dealer. He spent well over an hour searching just for one part that I was seeking for my ride. Extremely polite and patient. Thanks again Eric and look forward to doing business with you again shortly.

Drove 2 hours from Columbia to test ride a BMW, only to be told that they cant let me test the bike, since I currently only have a learners permit. No matter that Ive owned several BMWs, or drove hundreds of 1000s of miles on motorbikes. So, I guess I wont be buying a motorbike from them.

I bought an 07 K1200GT that needed recall work performed. I live in Wilmington, NC and Champion BMW was between Wilmington and Daytona. I was planning a trip to Daytona for Bike week so, I scheduled the recall work with Quincy, Service Manager. Quincy followed up by making a reservation for me. I had never met them but, Champion BMW was on my way to Daytona. I asked for a new spare key and Sean, the parts guy ordered it and had it ready for me when I arrived. Quincy made sure all our ducks were in a row. When I arrived for a rear wheel flange replacement and fuel flange replacement (recall work), they were ready to service it without delay. To my surprise and appreciation, Quincy took my wife and myself with our saddlebags to the hotel of our choice while they worked on my bike. Quincy kept me right up to date via phone calls and messages. He also contacted my warranty company for some work I asked for on the side. These guys busted their butts to get us back on our journey to Daytona. They discovered that my bike needed some serious clutch work and although I did not have the time to have them repair it all, they worked up an estimate for me for the future. Before I left, Champion BMW, my wife and I felt like one of the family. The shop guys smiled and made easy small talk with us. The front room made us feel comfortable and kidded with us. They accommodated us in every way possible and they had never met us and probably would never see us again as we lived 200 miles away. I told Quincy the Service Manager before I left that, he was the very best Service Manager I had ever met in 40 years of motoring across the USA because he listens to me, he works to get me the best deal, he works to get my bike back on the road, he works for me the customer before he works for Champion BMW. That is customer service by the very definition of the word!! If you are reading this review and live anywhere near this dealership, go by and introduce yourself and look around. You will begin to feel like family very soon. I bought two BMW caps before I left and I think these may be the best made caps in my whole collection. Overall, for 2 days work, they calling my warranty company, dropping me off and picking me up, changing oil on my 07 GT, I got out for less than $175. Quincy made sure that my wife and I had a bottle of water each before we returned to our adventure on the highway to avoid dehydration. After 40 years of riding, I am somewhat jaded to making new friends and scared of being taken advantage of on the road but, Champion BMW on Dorchester Blvd really left me with a postcard memory. By the way, Quincy the Service Manager, went so far as to make an estimated list and cost of repair for my concerns as far as my suspicions of a clutch issue to be addressed by any shop of my choice in the future. I wish I lived in Charleston just so I could go say hey to these folks once in a while. I see that they have a customer event every first Saturday and I urge you to go by there to visit. 4155 Dorchester Blvd. Hello, Quincy, Emily, Sean, and Garrett my BMW GT Technician! You folks were great!! Tony Phillips and Suzie Flippin, Kure Beach, NC.

GREAT DEAL I ENJOYED MY VISIT AND THE STAFF WAS VERY RESPECTFUL AND HELPFUL

Kenny and his staff provide the best customer service around! From the moment I talked with them on the phone, I knew I needed to make the 2 hour drive there and do business with them. Everyone makes you feel welcome and like family. It’s so refreshing to deal with folks that care about what they do and are excited about their work. They have a customer for life. Thank you Kenny for helping me obtain “the bike” I’ve been wanting since the 90’s! Ride Red!

Contacted Kenny about a used BMW bike and we communicated about a week, the day before I was to go check the bike out it sold! Kenny was about to let me know when I reached out to him, quickly we looked at another option and went to check it out. Ended up buying and honestly I went to check that bike due to the time and communication Kenny invested with me. Better yet after two new tires on the house as the weather was bad Kenny offered to trailer the bike to me the next day not only he did but also within the time discussed!Champion earned a customer for life!Thank you!

I had a major 18K mile service done on my s1000xr. After the work was completed. I stored my bike and made two short weekend rides over the course of month. After retrieving my bike from storage for a planned shipping of my bike, I noticed that the transmission was leaking oil. I also noticed that there was missing hardware as well. Due to some things that needed to happen logistically I was unable to get the bike back to Champion for service. Ill be honest in saying that I didnt feel comfortable taking it back to them after noticing some of the things that I found. I wound up having to eat charges associated with taking my bike to a shop that I felt more comfortable with. Im not going to bad mouth the Team there at Champion, but just do your due diligence in checking your bike over after service is performed there. I will say that Kenny the general manager will try to go out of his way to make the situation right. They did help me with some of the charges that were accrued in my bill from the other shop. Needless to say I still had to come out of pocket for the rest. Being that the Team there at Champion did try to work with me, I felt a 3 stars was justifiable for the (from my perspective and experience solely). If I could rank the process I went through in working with Kenny and management to try and resolve my issue after things went awry, Id give it a 4.

Everyone is extremely nice. A dealer that will actually call you back when they get in what you are looking for.

Kenny and the team were professional and made the buying process easy and fair. No pressure sales and a nice test ride were included. Quincy picked me up from the airport when I had to drop off the rental car after purchasing the motorcycle. They even helped out with a few issues a week after the purchase. Highly recommended!

Great experience all around. Nice friendly folks.

Best dealership in Charleston! Great service, youll feel like family!! Ive done business with them for 17 years and all 6 family members ride.

It’s not everyday that someone decides to purchase a $40,000 motorcycle, but when you do, you expect to have a higher level and quality of service, courtesy, and treatment.   Championship Honda BMW Ducati cares more about serving themselves than the customer.  Within 900 miles of owning the bike, there was an error with the DES.  I returned with my Ducati and identified the issue so that they could test and correct under warranty.  There isn’t a shop out there that enjoys taking on warranty work due to the pro-rated, hourly rate, that is afforded to the franchise.  I will state courtesy again...I wouldn’t leave my $300 lawnmower outside, but what does Championship do?! They leave my $40k motorcycle outside...I don’t know about you but if I lived in a cardboard box...I would have a big enough box to protect this machine.  It is just respect for the owner to give it the best safeguarding of all aspects while in their possession.  It makes sense though people drop $40k in there like it is $10k at a Japanese motorcycle dealer, but this is a world class name...you pay for that level of courtesy?!?! Not one bit.  As about a week passed, still no solution to the issue....as if running resistance tests off a multimeter was impossible, or volt readings, continuity tests, etc.... simple basic tech things to diagnose a problem.  What is the response, “I’ll get back to you” and “We don’t know” Are you kidding me?! Well as I stated before, no franchise/dealer/owner likes warranty work....so I am hit with a bill of $165, only to be told that the plugs were backwards. Funny the only people that touched them was the dealer.  THIS IS THE DEALERSHIP THAT RUINS IT FOR OTHER DEALERS.  STEER CLEAR!! Also, issue popped up immediately after leaving the dealer and unloading from my vehicle.   Pretty awesome, I have magic plugs that change on their own, I guess that is what I paid $40k for.

Came in for tire change on 1200 GSA.. busy shop but service department is top notch. Staff is very knowledgeable, ask all the right questions.

These guys always have the parts i am looking for. The parts department is always helpful.

My kids got a 4 wheeler for the holidays, so we went in looking for helmets. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and immediately two employees went in search of helmets to try on our kids. They were very nice and talked to my kids asking them how the helmets felt, etc. I would definitely go back here!

We had a great experience in here Saturday! We stopped by to check out the new Honda Monkey, but saw on their website they only had the red in the showroom. We walk in and there is the yellow bike in all its glory. The staff were all very friendly while we went on a test ride and then worked up the papers for purchase! They have a great variety of gear and accessories towards the back as well!

First time here and I cannot wait to go back. Everyone were pleasant to talk to, knowledgeable, never got an ‘I’m not sure’, ‘I don’t know’, from Quincy(Service manager) or Matt who worked on my 1199. I called and a week later and got all my questions answered by Quincy about my second project bike. They know their stuff. That’s how it should be. Esp since they sell Ducati and BMW.One review complained about prices? If someone thinks that its too much money to get your bike serviced at a dealership by a trained technician- go to a local garage and get it done by someone who never hooked up a bike to a computer. Easy. I spent 5 hrs there and felt very confident in everything they did. Just for not getting confidence lacking answer on any question about my Ducati, ill spend xtra(if that was the case) to go back.Thank you Quincy, Matt, management, all of you.Paul

Friendly personnel that were helpful and well informed about their products.

Decent inventory, attentive staff.

I used the website on 9/17 to inquire about buying a new motorcycle, got the automated response that someone would contact me back but no one ever did and 7 days later still have not heard from anyone. A day later I did the same exact thing for the BMW Motorcycle Dealer in Charlotte and they contacted m right away. Going to pick up two brand new adventure bikes from them Thursday, premium packages and extended service plans purchased as well. I wish I could of purchased closer to home but that was not the case.

I was/am a first time customer with Champion and I have probably written 3 reviews on products in my entire life. I have, however, bought and sold many motorcycles, ATVs and the like over the years. When shopping for my next BMW motorcycle, after having had bad experiences with two other BMW dealerships in the region, I decided to try Champion.I did the entire transaction over the phone and still have not physically been to the dealership but I am hoping to do so soon. I ordered the bike so the worst part was waiting. I initially dealt with Grant who was not pushy but polite. Due to Grant being unavailable for a period I started dealing with Kenny. When my bike came in, Kenny called me and sent me pictures of it being uncrated and put together. Even a couple videos after normal hours! He then, delivered it to me personally the next day as he knew I was ready to have it but due to work could not make the 2 hour trip until that next weekend! Thanks again Kenny!A few weeks later I had a unique situation come up and needed to work with the parts department. It was a very unique situation and Eric went above and beyond to help me out. He kept me approved of his plans to try and help and even texted me after hours from his personal cell phone. In the end, I had to send a part down there and i I was told it was repaired by the owner personally because he can fix anything. They sent the part back to me after the component required came in and did not bother nickel and dining me with postage. Thanks for going above and beyond Eric and Randy? (I have not spoke to the owner yet)This dealership, thanks to people like Kenny, Eric and Randy have earned my business forever and I would highly recommend them for anyone who is looking for a huge improvement over most other dealerships out there!Thanks guys - Will

They installed rear sets and did a 15,000 mile service on my Ducati. A few problems arose after getting the bike home. Kenny was more then willing to help

Great service and responsive, from Emily in front desk to the service manager in the back. Well oiled machine 👍🏻, prices are good and fair. Definitely will recommend them and use them again.

Fun, fun, fun,,,expensive 😆

Quick service and friendly staff

I typically dont write reviews, but Harry and the crew have taken care of me for so long that I felt obligated to thank them for the years of great service. Ive owned a bunch of Honda product over the years and these people represent their manufacturer well. I once wanted a specific original part; the kind of part that most people and even most dealers would typically replace with a generic unit. They found it, shipped it, and had it in my hands in a timely fashion. Thanks again all, and Ill be back soon!

I bought my last bike from here and was satisfied with the purchase. However, I saw a bike there recently that I was VERY interested in. I stopped by to look at it and spoke to a salesperson. They asked me to bring my potential trade in for them to look at. A few days later, I brought my bike in and they offered $3,000 which I felt was very low. I told them I was still very interested and they said they would contact their finance guy who was out at the time. I didnt hear from them for a week so I emailed them. No answer. I sent them a request through their website. No answer. I emailed them again and received a reply two days later that the bike had been sold.I went to Velocity Powersports and got $5,000 for my trade. Ill never do business with Champion again.

These guys are great. Their helpful and knowledgeable parts department has saved the day for me more than once.

Great service. Went in for parts once and also needed tire changed. The guys are great and many of them have been around Honda for A LONG TIME!!!!Inside 526...

Great place with knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Thanks to the whole team of Champions. The process for buying the bike was easy and a pleasant experience. Special Thanks to Bob La Monde.If you in the market for a bike go by bike visit Champion... They will treat you right!

Extremely Exciting

Most bestest awesomeness place to hang out and and dream. Friendly folks, great service. Customer appreciation day with lunch and discounts every 1st Saturday!

Harry let me and a friend of mine test ride 2 bikes it was a fantastic afternoon.the rest of the staff is very professional, upfront and easy to work with.good stuff.thanks guys.

Very knowledgeable very helpful very courteous relatively fast

Excellent customer service. They will listen to what you want and do great repair work at a reasonable price. Parts dept. is very helpful too.

The work was fine but expensive. $9.58 for parts and $180 in labor. $200 spark plug replacement and oil change. Seems a little like a rip off.

Amazing customer service. Others places can learn a thing or two from here. Would recommend them to anyone

This place is awesome! The crew here is very professional and knowledgeable. I took my bike here for service and new tires, and man theses guys did a very good job explaining every thing to me. They are not just trying to take your money, but trying to save you money. I love the military discounts. The tall skinny guy in the back that works at the desk is number one in my book. Love you guys attitude. This is my new bike home.

Couldn’t be any happier with coming to Champion Honda to surprise my boyfriend with a new tire for his Ducati; Kenny was nothing but informational, helpful and super nice! Will definitely be coming back for more things in the future.

I was stuck in the middle of nowhere when the clutch went out on my recently purchased bike. The mechanics here at champion went out of their way to replace and repair what I needed on the bike. I cannot say enough good things about how fair they treated me and the fast service that got me back on the road.

Very friendly, knowledgeable group of guys! Would definately recommend!!

I had gone into their store a few times to look at bikes for when I had enough money to upgrade. I always liked the Honda Interceptor they had on the floor though, but I couldnt afford it. I went in one day to buy the CBR 650 as a strong second choice and after talking with Roy he was able to put the interceptor in my price range. Super great service and Roy can talk motorcycles for days. I would suggest talking with him whenever visiting Champion Honda.

I bought a bike from champion Honda very well treated Erick is great when I ordered parts he is on top of it keeps me informed Quincy in maintenance is very knowledgeable takes the time to explain things to me very professional those people know what there doing.thanks

Excellent store. Rick and Randy in service are the best! They really care and stand behind their work they keep my bike running at its peak!

New management. Great selection of bikes. Terrific service department. They did the recalls on my BMW R1200RT.

Im visiting Charleston for a month.I had a warranty issue where Ducati had to replace the shifter on my bike. Ducati asked me to follow up with a local dealer after 500 miles of riding and after the repairs.I introduced myself to the owner of this dealership (north Charleston) and he wouldn’t even let me finish explaining what happened. He cut me off and told me that another customer of his purchased the exact same motorcycle (939SP) and the problem was that he simply didn’t know how to shift calling me a bad rider (I’m on my 4th bike 2nd Ducati with 10 years experience). Coincidentally, the customer they were referring to with the same bike had wrecked and his bike was at the dealership! The owner of this dealership continued to tell me I didn’t know what I was doing and accused me of asking for free labor before I could even finish explaining what happened. He treated me like an idiot.It wouldn’t surprised me if the customer who wrecked the same bike and who was also having the same issue was simply ignored by this cocky business owner instead of consulting Ducati like my amazing dealer back in PA did.Bottom line...... I wouldn’t let this dealer change a tire on my bicycle in fear of my own safety and simply because I would never give a person so disrespectful my business.

Champion Honda BMW is great! Harry was a great person to deal with. Always very helpful...Service is spot on a little slow but a goodie.. Parts can be sluggish but are knowable if you talk to the big one, skinny guy not so much.

I understand the bad reviews on here...sometimes these guys can be lax. They dont call back when repairs are done and they take their sweet time. Theyve helped me out though when I needed an ignition switch fixed or a rim repaired for very little payment. So....Im torn.

My 05 BMW R1200RT stalled on I-26 south of Columbia SC. Theres no dealership in Columbia so I limped to Champion Honda BMW Ducati of Charleston SC. Master Technician Ben Goff was fantastic. Within few minutes he stopped what he was doing and began diagnose my bike. After the error code were displayed, it was determined most likely the electronics on the fuel pump. Ben advised that my issues had only happened one or two times that he can remembered. Unfortunately, they did not have the part. However, it can be FedEx overnight. Ben was very knowledgeable, courteous and professional. He gave me few options and wasnt trying to sell me anything. Next day, part came in on time as promised. Ben installed the part along with replacing a new fuel gauge strip which is notoriously bad on R1200RT, under warranty. I left there feeling confident and not ripped off. I would highly recommend this place. I wish I had a dealership with Master Technician like Ben in my town. Thank you very much.

Very pleased with my purchase. The GM, Kenny, helped me from start to finish, always keeping in touch along the way! Very good experience!

Took my Ducati monster S2R1000 here to get my valve clearance maintenance done. After looking at some of the reviews I was at first hesitant. But I went with them and Im glad I did. Their rate was competitive, beating some of the other quotes I received, and their staff was very competent and friendly. They got the maintenance done quick, and communicated with me throughout the process to give me updates. This review is being given months after the service, so I have had time to ride and I can say it still rides just as great as it did the day I drove it out of the shop.In response to the negative reviews youll find here, including the one particularly scolding their Ducati service expert, Randy: perhaps things have changed since those reviews were made. Having interacted directly with Randy and his crew, I have to say this was the most positive experience Ive had with a service department. I will definitely be returning here for my bikes maintenance needs.

Everyone was friendly, they were able to me the parts I needed. The show room was clean and looked good.

Window shopping. But they were more responsive than previously.

After leaving my bike with this shop for a week and a half they finally managed to look at it. Somehow they got it to run long enough to get me out of there. Once I made it back to Myrtle Beach the next day the same problem was occurring as when I took it to them after they said it was fine and going to work. When it stopped working I called them and they said o alright well bring it in and we will look at it. They scammed me of my money and I would never recommend this shop to anyone.

Great folks and willing to work with you. Good stock along with friendly staff. Thats refreshing!

Just purchased my fourth bike from this dealer and second bike from Harry. Great customer service in sales and parts. These guys will treat you right. All the work Ive had done back in service has been top notch.

Excellent job bringing back to life my old 81 Honda Twinstar. Made me feel right at home and did good work for a good price. Bottom line: a shop is a shop is a shop. Dont go into a repair facility asking them to look at your bike and then proceed to tell them what to do. If you knew how to fix it, youd be doing it. Most people who have problems with bike shops do so because they expect too much for too little, and without adequate time. This lady biker will def. return/recommend. ~Kari Jones

Cool store staff is very veritable on the motorcycle

Not much of a selection. The helmets are over priced i think personally. Id say this place is good for gloves and gear but not bikes n helmets

Love this place! Amazing Staff and Bikes!

All I can say is wow! A nail flattened my bike and had a tow to their shop. In about 1 hour, they got me back on the road. Everyone from the mechanic to the service manager, general manager to parts counter man, proved helpful and friendly. Shout out to Chris, Sean, Harry, and TJ for the outstanding job yall are doing!

Called them asking about their servicing my Icon shocks, unfortunately I had the pleasure of speaking to Randy. Randy informed me that he was the closest I would get to a manager in a very rude tone. Then He told me that he would not be able to service the shocks but could fill them with nitrogen for the low price of $90. This is incredibly overpriced, and the service is terrible. I will be calling to speak to his supervisor tomorrow. My business will also be going somewhere else.

I bought my BMW through Harry and had a great experience, they can be busy at times but what good business is not. I did go to the dealership to buy my bike though, I am not sure how people buys things like this over the phone. This is my 5th bike from Harry and he treats people right. If you have a problem just see him!Oh and Harley Davidson your name speaks volume!

Friendly folks, great bikes. Quick and reasonably priced repair in the back

My complaint is that I have called at least 5 times on the phone between yesterday and today. I keep getting Ashley. Then she transfers me somewhere and no one ever picks up. Its unusual that they dont have someone available that can answer simple questions about inventory. I am looking for a K1600GT BMW and I cannot for the life of me get anyone to talk to me about it from this dealership.I have heard numerous other complaints about this dealership, so apparently those complaints may have had some merit based priority they give the phone customer.My business will go elsewhere, although they are the closest BMW dealer. Adios mustachios.

Fantastic! Customer service is great, prices are good for the area and for a authorized dealer. Very helpful staff and awesome knowledge within the walls.

I bought a 2005 Honda CBR 600 F4i used from Harry at Champion back in July. I was a brand new rider with no knowledge and he went above and beyond to make sure I got the bike, the info, and the safety equipment I needed. I spent 30 mins with Harry on a Tuesday, went home and slept on it, and went and paid cash the next morning for my first bike. He followed up with me three total times to make sure I was happy and safe. The price, selection, and service was exceptional and I am very happy with my purchase. I would strongly recommend Harry and the staff at Champion Honda any time. Good guys.

Wow such great service. I run a YouTube channel under the name Cruising with Capps my bike has to be operational for me to do so I went in for a simple oil change and on my way to the location my shiftier bolt came loose so I was stuck in first gear. After completing a roadside fix it arriving at Champion the service department went way Beyond my expectations greased anything that needed grease on it they took care Completed my oil change fast. recommended great things that needed to be done. I will be back.Cruising with Capps

Ive used Champion for service over the past several years and they do a good job. Ive never been in a rush, so I cannot comment on how quick they do work, but Ive always been satisfied.

Service and people are so nice. Been using that Dealership from 1971. Just bought another one from them. See Kenny

Great service. Friendly and knowledable staff. Good selection of product!

Worst motorcycle dealer in Charleston. When you go in, notice the bikes do not have price tags on them. They routinely charge over sticker price. Freight, handling, and doc fees are variable based on the deal. These guys are thieves!! Go some place else, they deserve to be out of business.

I went in to buy a new set of Michelin tires for my bike. There was a sign there stating they would match any advertised price. I got a printout and brought it in from a competing company. After 1/2 hour of verifying all the prices and taking care of 2 of their friends while making me wait, they said no way. I then asked what it would cost to get tires mounted....45 each if I bring in the wheel, 90 each if I take in the bike. Cycle Gear is 25 and a lot cheaper on tires.

The dealership plain rocks. The parts guys are very knowledgeable & service is meticulous. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a Ducati.

For BMW service ask for Ben and then know that your bike will be well cared for.

Just wanted to say my experience with champion Honda was was one in a million, could not find my part anywhere but Eric justice not only located a replacement part but had it to me in 3 days.Thanks

Bought keys only

Had scheduled maintenance, drove 100 miles to have maintenance. Waiting while others went ahead of me even though I had an appointment. Then find out that they didnt have some of the parts needed to complete my maintenance work. Sad part is I found out it wasnt done by looking at an itemized bill. was told the would have to order that part and I could get it done when the part came in. Poor Service and dishonest for not telling me the maintenance was not complete.

Was looking to purchase a bike, talked in depth to the ducati salesman (frank, maybe) about it. The interest rate i was offered was far too high. I told him I would look for a co-signer. he asked for a $100 deposit to hold the bike till I could get back to him, I was lead to believe it would be refundable by him and that it was just so he could put something on the books. I called no more than 2 weeks later attempting to contact him to no avail to inform him that I couldnt secure a co signer, and request the refund. I was told that the message would be passed on and refund processed. I didnt look into it any further and let it slip my mind. I never received the refund and while its not a huge deal and I should have known better than to put the deposit down I feel it was shady business practice.

**********WORST BIKE SHOP IN CHARLESTON***********This shop has no clue on what they are doing, they take your money give horrible customer service and break your bike so you cant ride it, thats what they did to me.HARRY IS NOT THE GENERAL MANAGER, NO MATTER WHAT HE SAYS RANDY THE IS THE OWNER, HARRY IS HIS PUPPET. THEY TRICKED ME INTO LETTING RANDY KEEP BREAKING MY BIKE BY LETTING ME THINK HARRY WAS IN CHARGE. AFTER RANDY BROKE IT THE FIRST TIME I ASKED FOR SOMEONE IN CHARGE AND HARRY SAID HE WAS AND THAT HE WOULD GET EVERYTHING HANDLED, OH I GOT HANDLED TO THE TUNE OF $1900 FOR A REPAIR AND THE BREAKING OF MY TRANSMISSION SO IT NO LONGER IS RIDEABLE. WHEN I ASKED RANDY TO TRANSFER ME TO THE GENERAL MANAGER SO I COULD COMPLAIN HE SAID REMEMBER ONE THING HE WORKS FOR METHAT SEEMS LIKE DECEPTIVE BUSINESS PRACTICES IF YOU ASK ME.I HOPE THESE GUYS GO BANKRUPT AND STOP HURTING GOOD PEOPLES BIKES, LOOK AT THE OTHER COMMENTS, THE ONES THAT ARE GOOD ARE SHORT AND SWEET CAUSE THEY ARE FAKE! DO NOT GO HERE!

My experience with Champion Honda has been a generally positive one. Have had my 2004 599 in there twice in the past two years. Had the valve lash checked and although they did not need adjusted, I thought the price for the labor and comfort in knowing I was within spec was worth the $200. Next time, I took the bike in for tires and brake pads. They recommended Michelin but I went with Dunlop instead. The quoted price for the front and rear Dunlop Qualifers were very expensive! I asked the parts guy if they price matched and they said absolutely. Literally, we went to the website right at the desk, I showed them I could get these tires from Bike Bandit for a much lower price, free-shipping, and without question, he gave me the exact same price, awesome! Now for the brakes pads, I replaced them with OEM pads all-around and they were expensive. After a few hours of riding, I heard a sound that was all too familiar as I had made this mistake before when replacing brake pads on my WRX. Basically, the Technician forgot to put grease on the backing plates and corners of the pad assembly (the floating regime and where the piston hits the backing plate). I rebuilt those in the parking lot (took all but 40 min in total), but needless to say this was a bit disappointing and my only small complaint at this point. I agree with some of the comments on here that price for bikes seem rather high, although I am not a new bike kinda guy so I am never really going to pay much more than $5k for a bike. I do although like to keep an eye on their inventory as they get some very nice older Honda CBs once in a while. Again, prices seem very high so may stick to the Ads, word-of-mouth or Craigslist for older models. Unless they get an OG Indian Chief, then maybe I will up my budget. The Checkout lady and parts department have been helpful for sure, but its usually better to do some homework before going there. The guys in the back seem to always be down for conversation about almost anything, cars, bikes etc... so this is refreshing. Anyways, just thought I would fairly mention all my experiences with this Dealership. I would recommend.

I bought my 04 honda vtx from champion for $5000 out the door with only 9000k miles. Velocity had an 05 with 20k miles and wanted $8k! Even on craigslist, I could not find one under $6500. The vtx had aftermarket exhaust and was in great shape. I had them debadge it (remove Honda markings). In two years, I have put 15k miles (and I also have an 04 american ironhorse chopper) with no problems. I always call Harry when I have questions. The guy many people mention in the bad reviews is no longer at Champion (I believe).

Great people and service

Pretty honest people with beautiful equipment.

I love this place!

How many people can ask you if you need help? Trying to look at the gear, finally I just left. Cant shop in peace.

Great customer service!

Kenny is soooo hot ;-)

Very friendly and very helpful

Great service department but motorcycle selection is weak. I dont like the fact that they dont have many demo bikes

Not very many bikes for a dealer in Charleston

Very helpful parts staff
