We wanted a new lightweight scooter over 150cc and with fuel injection for Cissy. Arlington Motorsports always had several brands of new scooters on display in front of their shop, so that was our first stop. Julio listened carefully and offered us his recommendation. The Genuine Buddy 170i, a 168cc fuel injection scooter weighing 243 pounds with a 48 wheelbase, was a perfect choice. Julio, Mitch, Bud and Larry all helped to make this a great experience. Cissy rode back to the shop 2 days later for much needed accessories. They had them in stock and mounted them immediately for her. A day later she got a new helmet and a "true" motorcycle jacket. After riding around the northwest suburbs, the new Buddy 170i easily blends with traffic and feels as stable and secure as our 400cc scooter. Great dealer experience and super service. Highly recommended to everyone.Cissy and Dave Rawlings, Palatine, IL

I live in Nashville, and Casie and Antholy sold me my new Vespa with the help of Mitch. It was a smooth and very friendly experience. They were kind, courteous, and very professional. I left almost feeling like a part of their beautiful family. We even took a selfie together when they delivered the scooter to my home. I recommend them highly.

Wanted to drop a line to say thanks again for a zero pressure shopping experience with you guys. Once I was decided on the Vespa I wanted, Mitch was able to get me financed at a great rate over the phone within a matter of minutes. Paperwork upon arrival to pick it up was an absolute breeze, in and out very quickly. Would I highly recommend!
Brian Picklesimer, Rockford, IL -
Great buying experience. Julio and staff assisted us with choosing the right scooter for our needs. We selected the Piaggio Liberty 150 and we're both very happy.

Shout out to Julio and Mitch. Got me in and out for a scooter to give my wife for our 21st anniversary this Saturday. Appreciate not only the experience but the conversation and banter we did while I was in there. When she needs an upgrade we will be back.

I've been searching for the perfect GTS Vespa, when I came across Arlington Motorsports, online. There it was...the most beautiful Verde Green Relax GTS 300 I have ever seen. Perfect color, perfect accessories, exactly what I was looking for. I called immediately, and spoke to Mitch. He gave me a quote, I put money down, and the next week drove from Northern Wisconsin to Illinois to pick up my "Dream Scooter"! From start, to finish, my experience was great. Any glitches in the transaction were handled promptly, and fairly. The rest of the staff was great too...Julio, and the mechanics I spoke to, gave me friendly advice, and helped load my Vespa into my truck, for the long journey home. Now all I need is for Summer to arrive! Thanks for everything, Mitch!

Purchased the 2019 Suzuki RV200 Van Van from out-of-state, but the transaction was seamless. Julio (and Bud!) took very good care of me during my first visit to look at the bike, then again during the week-later delivery. And, great follow-up after the sale by Julio. I highly recommend these guys at Arlington Motor Sports; actually a fun, friendly, experience.

I have dreamed of owning a Vespa for quite some time. I researched the different models; next was my search for the perfect color! I reached out to 3 different Vespa dealers in the Chicago area. Julio responded quickly and had one of the colors at the top of my list. Off we went that afternoon to purchase my Vespa. Once my husband saw how sweet the Vespas truly are - and once he laid eyes on a black one, he realized that he needed one, too! We are the proud owners of his and her Vespas and we are having a great time traveling around our little suburb! Mitch and Julio were great to work with and we highly recommend this dealer for all of your motorsport needs.Do not share comments

Bought my G400C here from Julio. I came all the way from Kansas City, bought it and rode home. Had a great experience with the staff who assisted me in dropping off my rental car and found my bike well prepared for the long trip home.Robert Brackenbury, Kansas City, MO -
Was shopping around trying to find a Vespa Primavera 150 cc. Right off the bat, I dropped into Arlington Motorsports per my friends recommendation, and was greeted with excellent service, a great variety of colors, and a wonderful consumer experience all around. Mitch and Julio were extremely knowledgeable about the Vespa brand and such great guys who spent a lot of time with me, ensuring I found the scooter I wanted and was comfortable and fully informed on the brand. I shopped around at other Vespa retailers as well, but wanted to make the sale at Arlington, as they had the greatest variety in colors, outstanding customer service, and made my first scooter experience one to remember. I highly recommend Arlington Motorsports for anyone looking to purchase a new scooter or motorcycle, what a great place!

I have a 2007 Kawasaki Vulcan 500 that I bring in every year for winter storage and service. I bought the bike new at another dealership in Des Plaines and they closed a few years later. That's when I started bringing my bike to Arlington Motorsports. I could not have found a better place. There service and love of motorcycles is second to none . It is my opinion they are best in the business. Thank you to everyone at Arlington Motorsports

Excellent customer service. Bought a used motorcycle and had it shipped out of state. Nothing but great assistance throughout the process. Mitch and Julio went above and beyond, making sure the bike was in great working condition and that the shipping company handled the bike properly. They really seemed to care. Can't thank them enough!Cindy Breer, Austin Texas, TEXAS -
Purchased a 1996 HD Softail Custom from Arlington Motorsports. I was not able to see the bike in person only pictures they sent and on their website. These guys were very open and honest regarding the condition of the bike. When I received the bike it was everything they said it was. I would not hesitate to buy another bike from Arlington Motorsports.

Jason Trullinger recommends Arlington MotorSports Inc.: "I had service work done on my bike Ive been trying to get running for a long time. Bud and Mitch brought my old bike back to life and it wasnt easy. Bud figured out what needed to be done. Reasonably priced and true professionals. They made a lifelong customer."
Jason Trullinger, Lake Zurich, IL -
I had a great experience with Arlington Motorsports. I worked out a deal by phone and email, agreed on price, and came in to trade in and pick up my new bike. This experience couldn't have gone better or more smoothly. I was in and out in less than 45 minutes. Mitch and Julio stuck to their word, and are very nice, friendly people. This was the best experience I ever had buying a vehicle. Everyone at Arlington Motorsports was friendly and took time to talk to me, even though they had nothing to do with the purchase of the bike. Thanks to everyone at Arlington Motorsports.

I went into the dealership for an appraisal for a custom motorcycle. The owne Mitch was on site and made time for me right away. After the appraisal he introduced me to the service department because I needed work on Two other projects that had stalled. I would recommend Arlington Motorsports. Thanks Mitch

I live in the area and just got my Motorcycle license this year. I visited a couple of New Bike dealerships and could not get a hold of spending $6 k for a first Motorcycle . A friend had purchased his used Honda from Arlington and told me to check the Shop out. I am glad I went there and I think I got a very good deal on a Used Yamaha Vstar 650 that had less then 4k on it. The bike had a Windshield, Backrest, Saddlebags all stuff I would have had to buy anyways, Julio (sales) and Mitch (owner) could have not been nicer and they got me financed quickly and I was riding Hours after my visit. I love my new Yamaha and they had a nice selection of other good looking Used Bikes. Happy New Rider , Randy Thomas

I just got my first bike this summer after years of riding scooters. (Go ahead, snicker at my expense...) I called all around my hometown to find a dealer who could provide service to my bike in time for the riding season. What I got from Arlington Motorsports was simply amazing. An e-mail returned by the owner Mitch, a mere hour or two after submitting. I called back just to see if it was for real. Indeed it was. I could tell that these guys were going to go above and beyond before I even showed up. I wasn't given any attitude for not buying from them, or snide holier-than-thou remarks that made me feel any less of an equal in their eyes. I brought my Yamaha in to them, and in just under 3 working days, it was ready. Mitch, the owner: 100% real ,and willing to work for your business. Bud, the mechanic: Knowledgeable, went out of his way to give me tips about both the bike, and my riding habits. I don't know about anyone else out there, but this is what good people and places are all about. I will always go out of my way to not only mention my happiness, but to steer new business to them along the way. I will be back, hopefully for all the right reasons! Do yourself a favor and do the same. Kudos to the entire team, and a big thank you from me for the outstanding customer service! The bike purrs! 5/20/2013

What a pleasure these guys are! Everyone is soooo friendly and caring. I went to a few other dealers and Arlington Motor Sports was the only place where I felt they listened and cared. Very easy to talk with, very honest, and willing to work with me so I could ride away on a bike. It's no wonder Mitch is still in business...he knows what he's doing and he's not some cocky business owner. Dave..thanks for all your help and patience, you made this experience fun for me. Thanks Nancy 2009 Honda Shadow,,,,LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

A few minutes on the phone with the store owner I knew this was going to be a great purchase even though i was 800 miles away. Sent a cashiers check the next day and bike arrived as described. Even went the extra mile taking photos while my bike shipper loaded her in his truck. Mitch and his team are great place to deal with! 12/13/2012

Sue Baez reviewed 4 months ago Quality Excellent This shop was very kind to me as a first-time buyer. I wanted a scooter, and they had the best selection in the area. Bought a Genuine Buddy scooter and have been loving it ever since! Even ride it in the winter! Mitch, the owner, is a laid-back friendly guy, very nice to do business with. I will definitely keep doing business at this place! August 2012

Mitchell, I can't thank you enough for your gracious spirit and kind demeanor. I would recommend your shop to anyone that is just curious about motorcycles or purchasing one. It has been fun just to come in and kick tires and then to also have a bike delivered to my door! How's that for service!!! DOUG K 2007 suzuki vzr1800 3/5/2013

We are new riders and purchased 2 new Stella scooters from Mitch at Arlington Motorsports. Mitch, Bud and his crew couldn't have been more accommodating and sincere with their sales and expertise and loading help. They ran me through the basics with scooter operation, and answered all my questions and then some. Bud got our scooters loaded up and offered excellent tips and situational information about the scooters. Just a super bunch of guys at Arlington Motorsports. I was there making a purchase and had never met these guys before, and before long it felt more like they were some long lost friends or perhaps our neighbors. Thanks guys!
