Great place and great people to work with. Had a cracked and leaking valve stem . Brought bike in around noon without an appointment. Rolf and his crew got bike in replaced both stems and was able to change oil in same day. I'm sure same day service may not happen during busy times but was very pleased the were able to get me in and out that day.Dave Andrus

Awesome service and knowledge!I've had my Suzuki Intruder 1400 for 12 years now, my first and only bike, and learned even more about it while talking to Rolf. Moved up to Westminster from Littleton a year ago, and have found my new motorcycle shop!They replaced my front tire, several fluids, my main seat, and gave it a general tune-up.IT RUNS BETTER NOW THAN IT HAS IN MANY YEARS!

I've been going to them for years. Trusted them with my motorcycles and felt confident in their work. After getting new tires and a couple weeks of time. The rear tire completely debeaded while traveling in a straight line at 35mph. After calling Rolf since they were the ones to install the tire. I no longer trust the business as a whole. Rolf was very defensive and offer little to no help. This could have been a catastrophe, and if you value your vehicle and yourself. I'd go elsewhere.Service: Tires

Rolf and Brian are super cool. Top notch mechanics.Rolf assured me that he could fix my motorcycle, and even lent me a trailer to haul my bike to his shop for the diagnosis.Within 10 minutes Brian had determined what the problem was and said it was no big deal to do the repair work.A few days later, I rode my baby back home and she ran like a new bike.I can't recommend Rolf's Motorcycle shop enough.I will continue to give them business, because finding quality mechanics can be difficult sometimes.THANKS TO EVERYBODY AT ROLF'S.

Rolf and his guys fixed a bike I had been having issues with for years. I paid a shop in Denver ~$4,000 to sort out the bike, when I got it back it ran terribly, burned and leaked oil and wasn t very pleasant to ride. I rode it ~600 miles before I knew it again needed serious work. I got the referral from a friend in Ft. Collins and after about a month I got the bike back this morning and the joy and security immediately came back to a bike I ve had since 2019. Not only will I gladly make the trek to Longmont but I will be spreading the word to my network that they are guys you want to work on your bike. It s a 1979 Honda CB750 built out in a cafe racer style. Absolutely floored with how good it looks, rides, and sounds.

Rolf is extremely knowledgable and helpful for your motorcycle needs. He and his employees got an inherited bike ready to sell. Now we're still waiting and the title work....

Fantastic service!Rolf, who owns and runs the shop, genuinely cares about customers, which today is uncommon and virtually a thing of the past. That mindset died with the corporate takeover of small businesses. That happens across all businesses.

Others refused to install a tire on my VLX600. They had it done in 1 hour in the morning. I was going to get a Dunlop 404 which is recommended but Rolf showed me the weight and build difference between the Shinko and the Dunlop and the Shinko was worth the extra money. I live on the Peak to Peak highway and taking the curves far more confidently that with the Donepops.Service: Tires

I brought my 1978 Honda cb550 to Rolf's. The bike was in awful shape and nothing was working right. Rolf's team worked their magic, bringing it back to life and putting a giant smile on my face. They were awesome with communication, thoughtful with repairs, and prioritized staying under budget. They are the real deal. I plan on being their customer for life. Thank you Rolf's!

Don't bother with this shop. Rolf is a dramatic, rude, out of touch jerk. He refuses to provide service records. He will refuse work based on the weather. I'd rather figure out how to do the work myself than go back to this shop. No wonder Boulder didn't want you in there city.

Big fan of Rolf! I called because I was having a weird issue with my bike. I m a new rider and I have an old bike. His advice was thoughtful and correct!

Popped in to see if this shop would be willing to work on my bike. I was greeted kindly and my bike was looked at instantly. I was treated with respect and given some advice on how to do some maintenance at home in between service appointments. My bike was taken in immediately for an oil change and a complete lookover. Will definitely be back for future needs. Thanks guys!

Called 3 shops to get a quote on a card rebuild for my 25 year old Honda XR. Rolf s was the only shop willing to give a reasonable quote versus we charge $125 per hour . They did the work and an additional valve adjustment. The bike ran great but stopped idling after it about 20 minutes of riding, something they could not have tested. I took it back they fixed the idle issue no charge. Very happy with the work and the experience. Highly recommend!Services: Carburetor cleaning, Engine repair

Rolf's Motorcycle Shop is your best choice for working on classic older motorcycles. I have nothing but HUGE positives to say about the communication and work that was performed. Before any work was started, Rolf called me to get an understanding of what I wanted to have done; then they performed an evaluation and contacted me again on the next steps that included, time, labor, parts and price. Everything was upfront and professional. I knew exactly when, what, how things were going to progress with my motorcycle --- excellent service.Brian (mechanic) is top notch and clearly understand how to resolve and repair older classic bikes. I was very pleased with his repairs on my motorcycle and his attention to quality as the work was being done. A+Bottom-line, call Rolf if you need a repair on your older motorcycle. Visit his shop to get a real feel of his shop and staff not to mention a visit down memory road on his collection of older vintage motorcycles.

These guys seem to understand Japanese bikes but don t take your British or Italian bike to them - they will throw their hands up. They can be helpful some days and rude on other days. Customer service is severely lacking at Rolf s.Service: Engine repairService: Engine repair

They make mistakes (everyone does) but they don't stand behind their work. I brought my bike in to have new tires put on. They noticed that my back brake pads were in need of replacement. I gave them the go-ahead to do the work. After two rides and less than 100 miles, the pads fell off. I immediately went back to the shop. Their mechanic looked at it and admitted that the issue was due to an error in the installation. Rolf (the owner) said the guy who worked on my bike was no longer there. He refused to fix the problem and refused to return my money. I brought my bike to the dealer and it's costing me $550 to re-do the work they did and replace other parts that were damaged due to their negligence. On top of that... Rolf was remarkably defensive and was raising his voice at me while refusing to help me. I strongly advise you to avoid this place.

We've been taking our 1997 Yamaha Virago to Rolf since he was in Louisville and wouldn't think of changing mechanics.If you're looking for someone to sugar coat bad news on your bike, Rolf isn't the right guy for you! (A bad review is likely from a person who isn't willing to listen to what he has to say.) He is straightforward and just tells it like it is--what more would you want in a mechanic who is honest, reliable, fair, and an excellent technician who knows his stuff?

I blew a fork seal on my way to the area and Rolf's got me in and out same-day before a two-day ride home. They also checked over some other things on my bike. Prices are reasonable and they do good work.

This is by far the best and only shop I'll trust my bike to. Rolf has a great team of mechanics who are completely trust worthy and skilled in their trade! They've never tried to push extra sales or services that aren't necessary which is hard to find in any mechanic shop.

Rolf and his crew fixed my troublesome 1982 Yamaha XT200 -- found some shade tree mechanic errors and corrected them, runs great now. Highly recommend Rolf's!Services: Electrical repair, Engine repairServices: Electrical repair, Engine repair

Good guys and good prices. The Harley Davidson shop out here wouldn't put tires on my Suzuki. These guys did it in about an hour and a half and for about $100 less than the Harley shop quoted me (before they found out I ride a lowly Suzuki). They were very nice and very accommodating. I kinda wish they would have cleaned the blue off my whitewalls but a couple minutes at the car wash took care of that.

Rolf and his crew did some work (replaced tires, chain, and sprocket) on vintage 250 Honda. Each time, Rolf provided me with an estimate and stuck to that estimate. Three or four day turnaround time. Overall, I like Rolf and his shop did quality work at a reasonable price.

Got my first real bike through Rolf. It is nearly 40 years old and runs great from Longmont to Boulder. When I've had an issue with maintenance or parts Rolf helped me solve the problem. This is a good old boy shop, so don't expect some underpaid customer service rep to help you. These guys are the real deal when it comes to anything motorcycle. They will tell it to you straight whether you want to hear it or not.

I bought an old 84 Yamaha XT600 off CL not running- Rolf put new life into it and it ran great for 3,000 miles! I took it back into him for a tuneup/oil change. Again did an amazing job and it was a quick turn around. Prices are fair and he specializes in older bikes. I drove an hour up from Denver and it was well worth it. Highly recommend!

Excellent service!I had a flat in Longmont and called Rolf's, the nearest shop I could find. They helped me get my bike off the trailer and had me back on the road by the end of the day.I will go out of my way to come here in the future!

After trying to get my 2005 Honda 1300 VTXC running I gave up and went to see Rolf based on the good reviews. Couldn't be happier. Rolf was friendly and professional and found the problem right away. Quick turnaround and very reasonable pricing.

There are bike shops, and there are bike shops. This place is what a bike shop should be. Do you remember back when it did not matter what you rode, as long as you rode? Life was not about the badge on the side of your tank, but about living the code and respecting tradition? As soon as you walk in the door, you will realize that bikes are his passion. He gets it. He knows why you ride, because he has ridden his entire life too. History is written on the walls of his shop. If you are looking for the sterile, smarmy, elitist dealership setting, walk away. If you want a guy that understands your bike is a piece of your soul, and will treat it as such, try Rolf. On time (actually early), on bid, great service. Simple tune and tires, yearly checkup. The man and his people are magicians. Transformed the bike entirely, it is a new (20yr old) machine, could not be happier. Thanks guys, you did not disappoint.Services: Carburetor cleaning, Tires, Steering & suspension repair

Rolf's the man. He's not only incredibly skilled (as well as the mechanics that work for him), but he's also just a solid guy. I've been going there for three years or so, and every time he explains exactly what needs to be done and encourages me to learn how to do as many repairs as I can on my own. That is, he's not there to take your money, he's there to fix your bike. It's just he's the best at fixing bikes. so you're probably gonna end up giving him your money.
