Great service and experience. Had my bike tuned and inspected by Chad in service and he shared a lot of knowledge to help get my bike setup correctly.
Patrick Hannigan -
Dealt with the dealer on a dealer transfer. Very quick and easy. Nice dealership.
Jeff Griffith -
Bought my most recent bike there, a 2013 GSX-R 750. Tony handled the transaction smoothly, sales experience was great unlike some dealers I have dealt with before. Since this was to be a race bike I also had Chad do a supersport build and dyno tune the bike over the winter and am more than happy with the results. Chad is very detail oriented and I am more than pleased with the results. I am very untrusting of most shops but would not hesitate to let Chad work on anything I owned.

I brought my ride for for a service call and fully expected a few hours worth of labor charges. I got a call that it was ready to go , no charge. They had discovered that a little cleaning and lube was all that was required to solve my problem. I'll will be back.

Im a Gear head since birth. Qualified dynos are few and far between. Especially with a knowledgeable operator. Enter Chad Wells. What an smart guy. Doesnt talk down to you & answers all questions in a way the common guy can comprehend. Trailered cycles on 3 separates occasions to Commonwealth for Chads know how. Im sure I drove right past other Dynos, but the level of service I received was well worth the drive. Also was entertained by a guy I thought was just a customer like me. Turns out, it was Ed, whos the owner. Treated me like Id just purchased a new cycle when all I was getting was a tune on a Dyno. Same red carpet treatment. Take note all other motorcycles dealers. Many of us will drive hours away to get treated well. Now 3 years later from first tune, Im driving up to Louisville all the way from Knoxville TN to buy a new Aprilia Tuono Factory. I know Ill be treated well. Tim S in TN
John Skeen -
Great staff who's very knowledgeable about the brands and motorcycle parts, easygoing and glad to help. The brands of bikes they carry in-store are top notch. Commomwealth Motorcycle also has a large selection of apparel, hats, helmets, shirts and more.
Thomas Rasinen -
by far the best motorcycle dealer of any type in the area. the showroom is museum quality, and the parts dept is second to none. service is excellent and tony might be the only sales guy i have ever met that i actually like.
Mike Drees -
Incredible selection and extremely knowledgeable it was really cool talking with the owner about the history of the bikes on display and his experiences over the years. Thank you very much I am very glad we stopped in and I highly recommend if you in that area in your looking for bike this is definitely your go to spot.
Ryan Brandes -
Got a new KTM 390 for my wife 4 years ago and recently a Triumph. I had a very good and ethical experience on both transactions. Great service from real motorcycle people. The KTM was for my wife and its what she wanted and needed for her size. What a stand out cycle and dealer.
Steve Parsch -
My experience with Commonwealth Motorcycles was nothing but awesome! This was my 3rd bike I was going to own but it was also my first brand new one and my first one at Commonwealth. I had stopped by initially just to check out other brands (I liked the Ducati's 899 and the MV Agusta F3) and everyone greeted me, made sure that I was being taken care of, notified me of any specials they had going but did it in a way that did not make me feel pressured. So I came back and bought. Tony had everything ready for me at signing, no hidden fees etc. I also decided to have some upfits done for my bike (quickshifter and change out another color subframe). When my bike was ready to be picked up, Tony was there and shook my hand and said thank you for the business and congratulated me, walked me back to service and got me in touch with Winston went through all the mechanics and electronics with me before I left. Not only is Commonwealth a beast of its own with the availability to sell beautiful foreign bikes, they have treated me with the utmost respect and eagerness to help. That meant a lot to me especially since this was my first new bike. I push for everyone I know to go to Commonwealth if they are looking for a new bike!
Eric Johnson -
I bought my KTM here and have had it serviced a couple times. These guys know what they are doing. Service has always been done correctly and the bike comes back just like I'd expect. Custom tune on the dyno really smoothed out the throttle and it runs like a top. Thanks Chad and Winston!
Steve Sheltz -
Had my 18 Street Triple RS warranty work performed here. Dropped off on Saturday and was ready by Thursday. Fantastic selection of bikes and gear, I highly recommend them!
Scott J -
I have been visiting Commonwealth for years. I had never bought a single thing until this weekend when I rode out with a t120 black. Transaction was so quick, smooth and easy. Tony and Ed both are very approachable and personable. I rode down on my bike, knowing i was going to trade it in, followed by my brothers harley. After the purchase and near closing time the fresh, new battery still wasn't fully charged. To keep me from having to ride on the back of my brothers harley, they installed a used, fully charged battery for me and told me to come back and pick up the new one at my earliest convenience. Very satisfied as a customer. Even though ive got the bike now, im sure ill still come by to check out all their badass bikes.
phillip maskey -
I had my Bonneville serviced - dropped off yesterday, picked up today!. Chad is a pro, took care of all maintenance and tuning. Pick up was a Covid-compliant breeze. Job well done!
Ben Curl -
I have been a customer here for years. Most recent purchase was a Triumph Bonneville at end of last year.
The owner (Ed) is a great guy. A performance and dual sport bike expert. He doesn't over sell anyone.
Just tries to find a fit for you.
In the shop is Chad Wells. He can suspend and tune anything! They have a dyno in the shop and can reprogram ECUs.Bruce Markel -
You want to know how great these guys and ladies are? They let me come in and shoot the bull with them even though I haven't actually bought a motorcycle from them in over EIGHT years! Ed, Tony, Amanda, Chad and gang are great to deal with. Customer service is bar none. Even though I am a blue collar kinda guy patronizing a high end Italian dealership they still treat me as a friend.
Samuel Clemons -
I've purchased 3 bikes from Commonwealth over the last 3 years (new 2009 Speed Triple, used 2008 Hypermotard 1100, and a new 2013 Multistrada). Each sales transaction I've experienced has been smooth and honest with no surprises at paperwork time. Tony is great to work with and is passionate about the bikes he sells. I've only had a handful of experiences (a couple warranty issues, tire mounting etc.) on the service side, but each time the service staff (Chad and Winston) have done an excellent job addressing my needs in a professional and timely manner. Most recently I brought my Multistrada in to have a DSS Error addressed (was an issue with the rear accelerometer wiring) and to have a dyno tune performed. I dropped it off on a Saturday and got a call on Tuesday afternoon from Chad to come pick it up (they're closed Sunday and Monday). I picked it up a couple days later (I wasn't expecting it that soon), and was presented the invoice which aligned with the estimate that was originally given to me, noted maintenance items that needed attention, and outlined the work that was performed. After paying, we walked out to the bike and Chad went over everything they did for the tune, presented the hp curve printout, how the cruise control works, and what I should expect to experience from the bike after the dyno work. What can I say other than the work they did on the bike blew away my expectations. The bike runs much stronger, with better throttle response and I haven't experienced a single hiccup since getting it back. I even got a call from the guys a couple of days later asking how I liked the bike since the tune and to make sure I hadn't had any issues. These guys know their stuff. Bottom line is that everyone in the building cares about their customers and knows how they should be treated. I will continue to take my business to them, and recommend them to anyone else shopping for a bike or needing their Triumph, Ducati, KTM, MV Agusta, or Suzuki serviced.
Travis Zilch -
Very helpful, large selection of exquisite motorcycles in stock, ready to go. I am thinking of buying a certain motorcycle, and I found the man with whom I dealt friendly, knowledgeable and ready to deal. I will be returning, hopefully leaving on my new beauty this time.
Highly recommend.Grant Lengacher -
Recently purchased a motorcycle from Commonwealth and it won't be my last. The purchasing process was low pressure and went smoothly. People were very friendly and easy to deal with. Can't recommend them enough.
Travis Harley -
Awesome selection of makes and models. I purchased a MV Agusta from them last year and they've been fantastic. I can always get a hold of a real person in the service department who actually remembers me and my bike. Had one bit of warranty work done and it was no questions asked and not a penny from my pocket. Their service center is top notch. Definitely get a tour through it if you haven't. Bottom line: great people with passion and expertise, great selection, and amazing service. I'd kill to have them in my home town.
Steve Pope -
I've been purchasing items here for years and bought my first Ducati from them. Very personable when you get to know them, great parts staff, and excellent mechanics. Chad Wells is a master with Dyno tuning, so a major plus for Ed and Tony to have him on staff. Now even more brands available, so if you're buying it's a great place to stop, and if you're not buying, it's a great place to plan what you'll buy next.
Michael Railing -
My experience with Commonwealth Ducati dealership was a good as all the past experiences for over 8 years especially with the service department. Chad Wells is why Ive been to Commonwealth Ducati my previous 3 Ducati Superbikes to be serviced. He always kept it professional and to the point of my needed services. Very appreciative towards his technological knowledge & efficiency with open communications and short turn around to keep me riding safe and confident. I will always be thankful towards this shop to avoid other service departments ongoing. And believe me, Ive owned over 39 motorcycles !
Donald Feldman -
Great bike shop. Excellent selection of Aprilia & Ducati models, riding gear and swag all in stock. If not in stock they're happy to order. Certainly met my expectations and a great refresher from all things Harley that dominates our landscape.
joshua kleinman -
Bought a 2021 Triumph Street Triple. Test drove it and fell in love. Tony handled all aspects of the sale. Gave me a fair deal and didnt push any extras on it. True professional and they know what they are doing! I will be back!
David Rahm -
Had my Triumph Street Triple get it's first service done here. I am a full time student and work full time, they worked with me on every step of the way on trying to get a time slot to get my bike in before season really began. Even when I was late they still helped me out even when they could have turned me away and be fully justified in doing so. I look forward to using this dealership in the future for any service on my bike. Great guys who take pride in what they do!
Adam Janowski -
The nice lady at the parts department was very patient with me even though I was only spending a few dollars. She took the time to explain how parts for Triumph are catalogued. They didnt have the part I needed but she gave me good advice which worked. I will be back to spend more money as the service is very good and everyone made me feel welcome there. Thanks!
Clay Jefferson -
I recently bought a part for my Ducati Multistrada from Amanda. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. The part arrived ahead of the time frame she gave which was a pleasant surprise. I very rarely write reviews but in this case the service and attention afforded me by Amanda was impossible to ignore. Great work! Thank you!
James Roszel -
I traveled from Nashville to buy an Aprilia Tuono from Commonwealth and had the best experience I could of wanted. After calling every Aprilia dealer within 1000 miles, I made an excellent deal over the phone on the bike I had been looking for. Tony emailed me an invoice, and there were no surprises when doing the paperwork on site. I got to Commonwealth before they opened, but Tony came out and invited me in. He first showed me my bike, then walked me through their service department, did the paperwork, picked out a shirt, and then they helped me load and secure it. Overall the best experience I could have expected, they were a great mix of personal and professional. 10/10.
Jacob Spurlock -
Overachieved all of my expectations. Chad and the guys in the shop are professionals at providing a great service experience. Being a high end dealership I was prepared to take it hard on my wallet, but their service is competitive and reasonable. They provided the best service Ive ever received and were very clear and upfront about any and all issues. Expert mechanical knowledge, especially on Aprilia which gets little support in the Midwest. I cant recommend them enough. I will be back for service and when the time comes, for my next bike.
Tim Geiman -
I had a great first visit to Commonwealth when I stopped in and bought my first Aprilia this weekend! I was in contact with Tony in sales before I arrived, and he and Ed showed me around my new bike really thoroughly. They even helped my friend and I get the new ride secured in the truck before we drove into the top end of a hurricane. Pleased to say I made it home on the new ride with not a spot of damage. Everybody was friendly, and they have a great selection. Will definitely stop by when I am next in Louisville!
Matt Duff -
Id like to give a shout-out to Chad and everyone at Commonwealth for taking good care of me this weekend. My bike died on the interstate about 20 miles east of Louisville, on what I thought would be the last day of a 2500 mile trip. I found Commonwealth thanks to the many other great reviews, and had the bike towed there. Chad diagnosed the issues, had the parts overnighted, and had me back on the road within 24 hours. The bike ran flawlessly for the 500 mile trip home. Thanks so much for your hard work and efficiency! Definitely a great experience at Commonwealth!
Paul Durrant -
Great people, the best brands, fair prices. Just bought a new KTM 790 Adventure from them, my second KTM bike. Excellent purchasing experience with Tony, strong expertise in their service department, and a special thanks to Amanda in parts for taking care of me when I screwed up the installation of a part I ordered from them. Really like these folks and I highly recommend them to others.
Jerry Self -
Had a great experience shopping here, I was in the market for new 390Duke. The only other local KTM dealer was out of stock and commonwealth had multiples in stock, even in the color I wanted, I never felt "pressured" to make my purchase, and Tony was excellent working with me and my finance company to insure everything was going to go smooth. The transaction took a few days on my end to get everything wrapped up with my finance company but first thing Tuesday morning we went in, signed paperwork, they prepped the bike and I was out within an hour. Everyone was extremely helpful and tentative even though there was multiple people in looking for bikes. Would definitely recommend if you're in the market for an exotic motorcycle.
Illumijoshy -
I had a question and the lady was genuine and very helpful. I really appreciated her honesty.
Kim Baumann -
Visited Commonwealth Motorcycles to try on some jackets after purchasing two jackets online that did not fit. The staff members are super helpful, polite, and personable. They will help you if you need it, but don't follow you around trying to make a sale (which is awesome in my opinion because I like to shop in peace for the most part). They have lots of bikes and a wide selection of gear. I was surprised that they carried gear for women since there is an inherent bias towards men's gear in the motorcycle industry. Left with a jacket and a new favorite business to frequent. They also have military discount, which is a nice bonus! Will definitely visit again and recommend to anyone in the Louisville area.
Dimond Shelton -
I bought my 2018 Triumph T120 from Commonwealth. I've ridden for over 50 years and have bought a number of new motorcycles. This is by far the best dealership I've ever dealt with. I just had my bike serviced and Chad did a great job. It is rare to find a competent motorcycle mechanic these days. Chad's knowledge goes far beyond competence. Louisville is lucky to have this dealership.
Bill Donovan -
Recommended to CW by a friend, Ed the owner is a great guy, you can tell he is an enthusiastic rider himself. Chad in service is the best around!
He has serviced my bike twice now. Always competent and efficient. Many thanks for your service. Do business with these guys, they are top notch!Brandon Franz -
Bought a Triumph from these folks recently. On several occasions Ive had people in dealerships slight me, try to take advantage of me, or not take me seriously as a buyer. Tony did none of the above, and was flexible and prompt in getting the bike in my possession. Thanks yall!
Hunter Ratliff -
I have been upgrading my track only KTM RC390 and it is time to add a fuel injection programmer to optimize the performance. The Service Manager Chad Wells is a tuning guru for this bike -- over 400 hours of dyno testing and map making for any configuration of performance upgrades you may have. He sent me a PCV already loaded with the map my bike will need and also reflashed the stock ecu with the correct oem base map -- all for a ridiculously competitive price. I'd also like to give a shoutout to Cody Gordon. He kept in touch with me throughout the entire process. He answered of my emails quickly and professionally. I never had to question what was going on. I imagine he is a great asset to your business. Even though I have never stepped foot in commonwealth and live in another state, they made me feel like I was their most important customer. I will make sure to stop in and shake some hands next time I'm in Louisville. Keep up the great work guys!
Kevin Marshall -
Have come here many times to look, prior to purchasing. Mostly know of the place due to friends speaking highly of it. You end up getting to know staff pretty well. Have never ever felt pushed around or ignored, and on occasions where I had questions related to accessories and service, they made sure to answer completely. Recently purchased a bike after having the opportunity to test ride two demo bikes. Staff provided honest opinions and purchase process was painless. First service on bike was completed here as well, and I felt the price was fair and they even cleaned up the bike! If you're looking for a euro bike this would be my first recommendation
nate berrier -
There is a motorcycle dealer 12 minutes from my place in Lexington, and instead I drove 3 hours round trip to do business with Commonwealth Motorcycles. Everyone here was as nice as can be, the pricing was straightforward and the motorcycle selection is awesome. Shout out to Tony for holding an Aprilia for me so I could come in and look at it on a Saturday.EDIT: Wanted to add that post-purchase, I needed an OEM part I could not find anywhere. When Commonwealth Motorcycles didn't have it in stock, they did not hesitate to search a dealer database and hook me up with a shop that did. Commonwealth Motorcycles is fantastic even after you've paid for your bike. I cannot recommend this shop enough.
Jeffrey Griffin -
Bought bike from here the other day. Made a 3 hour drive out of state because the sales manager, Tony, was forthright and friendly. He was not pushy and answered all email in a timely manner. The showroom was nice and clean. Anyone looking for a ducati, aprilla, KTM, or triumph and lives a few hours away should buy from Commonwealth Motorcycles
Concepcion Garcia Jr -
Just bought a 2020 KTM 790 Adventure R from them. Saw it online, called to ask about it, Tony let me know about some scuffs that didn't show in the photos, and i put the deposit down. When I picked it up everything was exactly as described, service had been done, recalls had been checked, and everything was ready to go. The buying process was extremely fast and efficient, they were there to help load, and Mike in service even helped me replace a bolt I noticed had rattled out of my trailer on the 4 hour drive from Knoxville. I will definitely do business here again in the future. Thanks guys!
Matt Hardy -
I bought my 2022 triumph trident 660 at Commonwealth. I had an issue today and the service tech actually stopped what he was doing came out to help me without an appointment. Thats service you cant get any more. Great job guys really appreciate going the extra mile today.
Chris Johnson -
I do not currently own a motorcycle, but man, the bikes they have here are awesome! I'm not going to lie it made me scratch my chin a bit.
Zachary Frieben -
Classy dealership in an old building. Showroom has plenty of eye candy. The lady at the front desk was warm and friendly. Service dept was awesome on my first visit. Chad was a little icy at first but eventually took care of my problem with professionalism and enthusiasm. I recommend this place!
Michael Glenn -
Bought an aprilia RS660. Had to order one as they were all sold out everywhere i looked. It took several months to be delivered but Tony did the best he could to keep me up to date. Once it was delivered he made the process painless and i left with the bike id been dreaming about for a while. Highly recommend this dealership
Josh Sutter -
The best dealership I have worked with in years. Knowledgeable staff. They update the website for what models are in stock. Allowed me to test drive the new 660 Tuareg. Tony was able to work with me on pricing and got me out the door with a new bike in about an hour. No setup fees. Loaded it up in my truck. If you want one of the brands he sells, this is the place to go. Thanks again. I will be back. And yes, he has bikes, not just pictures.
Jason swanson -
Very Satisfied, friendly staff! Good selection of bikes, definitely the Best motorcycle dealer in the Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Indiana area! Just had my bike serviced, satisfied to see real mechanics at their shop. A bit pricey, but you pay for what you get! And they do Desmo service. Will definitely go back and will probably buy a new Ducati from them sometime soon
Aaron M
2nd KTM motorcycle I have bought from this dealer. One of the better dealers in Louisville. Willing to match other dealers and not BS you around.
