Some shoppers report that items have no visible pricing, making it difficult to assess purchases in store.

The Bottom Line
OLDTIMER Motorcycles in Motor City is a substantial motorcycle parts and gear shop where riders can browse a wide showroom, try equipment and get advice. Reviews mention riding pants, jackets, helmets, gloves and other branded gear, while the workshop handles jobs such as lighting, phone-mount and mirror installations, servicing and bike modifications. The in-person range is a real advantage when fit matters.
One customer struggled to find riding pants that fitted properly until the team helped locate suitable equipment; another appreciated being able to try every item before deciding. Reviewers also mention Denali lights, a Tech-Air system update, BMW work and an S1000RR modification, so this is more than a clothing stop. Service is not completely consistent.
Some riders praise careful installations, warranty support and patient explanations, while others report walking through the store without assistance or receiving slow replies to product enquiries. Stock shortages have also been mentioned despite the showroom’s size. Call ahead for an appointment and pre-arrange larger fittings.
Before paying, inspect display items carefully, especially gloves. Prices can be higher than online, but the showroom lets you check fit immediately; there is also a café overlooking the autodrome track.
