The spot for race suspension and Dyno services. A wealth of racing knowledge and the only place to get Continental race tires. Ask about the "East Coast sidestep" discount

Story time...my buddy and I were in a pinch, my fuel petcock on my race bike was leaking the morning of track day. After calling every dealership up and down IH35 we called Keith over here at Road & Track.He unfortunately did not have the part in stock, so instead he pulled it right off his personal bike! and just asked to "please return it" never having met me in his life. The Customer service and the all around human experience was phenomenal. Many many thanks to you all for your courtesy.Services: Engine repair, Brake service & repair

I normally only go to the dealer to have my bike serviced but wanted to try a local shop this time. Am I glad I did!! :) Keith is much more knowledgeable than any of the service techs I have met at the multiple dealerships I've been to. I've never been in a REAL race shop before and it makes me feel great to know that someone who truly knows what they are doing to work on my bike. You just got a customer for life Keith! Parts, tires, upgrades, dyno tuning, suspension adjustments he does it all. Thanks again!!

Best place in SA to get repairs done on your bike. These guys have been racing bikes for years and really know their stuff. Not only that, but they're more than happy to just talk bikes, imparting valuable knowledge to new riders like myself. Don't waste your time with the big dealerships whose service departments are going to overcharge you for everything. Keith will tell you straight and fix it for an awesome price!

Very happy with the service I recently received. I needed new tires installed for my BMW K75, as the old ones were getting thin. I purchased new tires from Motorcycle Superstore and had them directly shipped to Road & Track. Within a few days, I received notification that they had arrived, so I contacted Road & Track to set up an appointment. Keith responded to come in whenever I wished, that it was an easy job, and I could even wait for it if I wished. I decided to drop it off, and by the next day I was riding home without any issues. The price was very reasonable, and overall I saved hundreds of dollars over going to the local dealership. Thanks !

Keith is the best suspension guy in texas bar none! If you want your bike set up for the track and actually tune your suspension to your weight, There is no better place to take your bike! Not only is does he race himself and has a lifetime of experience to aid in setting up your suspension his prices are extremely reasonable! So take your bike where the dealership's take their personal bikes and get confidence like never before in your suspension!

Keith and his service is nothing but badass stuff! He got my suspension done quick and the bike has felt incredible ever since. He has YEARS of racing experience to know what's going to work and he is not going to waste your time with stuff that's not going to matter. He gets straight to the point and gives you exactly what you need. Could not be happier with what he's done and I would recommend him to anybody looking to go faster on 2 wheels!

I brought my 954rr in after another shop down the street did a horrendous and potentially life treating job on my forks/handle bars.These guys know what they're are doing, they even showed me how Jack-upped my "supposed fork job" was from the previous shop down the street.If you want a job done and done right you need to check these guys out. Don't go to the shop down the street unless you want a half-a%# job done.My bike feels like a brand new bike and i feel safe knowing the quality of work. I will be a lifelong customer.

I bought a ninja 300 and was able to get the suspension set up by Keith here and it totally transformed the bike. It feels more comfortable than any bike I've ever ridden because it's set up for me now! I also bought a lot of other race bits from the shop to set my bike up to race in the CMRA. I found the selection of parts and the knowledge to be more than helpful and I will definitely come back.

This was the first time I had used Road & Track Cycles. Keith gave me an estimate to clean the carbs and install a jet kit on my CBR 1100XX. Honda would not work on my bike as it was over ten years old! What a joke. However, I am glad or I would not have used Keith. After he was done with my bike, it now has 139 HP and it runs better than it did new. They really know what they are doing at this shop. Are they the cheapest in town? No. But is that what you really want? No. I will say the estimate was a little less than the final bill, but I got over it. They completed the repair in the time frame they stated. The acceleration is smooth across the entire throttle and once your in the power-band the bike becomes a monster! I found myself having to hold on with my legs. It is extremely obvious they did install the jet kit. Whereas some companies might have just cleaned the carbs and said they installed a jet kit. I would highly recommend Road & Track Cycles! Thanks Keith...

They do all kinds of motorcycle work, but specialize as one of the best sportbike suspension shops in the state! I've spent 20 years riding sportbikes and 10 years in the moto industry, and there are only a couple people I would trust to do in-depth suspension work. Keith is on that very short list.

R&T knows their stuff. They're always helpful, do great work and share their knowledge. No matter if it's street, track or racing Keith and his team have the experiance to set you up for what you need to get your bike in shape for your next adventure.

Keith is the most knowledgeable and up front technician in Texas. No need for small talk or runaround, only good useable info for you and your prized moto! It doesn't matter if you are a racer or street rider, Road & Track Cycles is the best place for any type of service.

No where else in San Antonio or anywhere close can you walk into a certified race shop and have your bike serviced by a true racer/mechanic. Keith really lives to ride and takes great pride in being the best in the business. Its no wonder that MotoGP Star Colin Edwards had his flat track bike shipped to Keith's shop for suspension work, Jesse James has also had one of his biker build off bikes sent in for suspension work. At the end of the day if your a road warrior out battling cages or a road racer putting it all out on the line. You have to be sure you bike can handle whatever you throw at it. Do yourself a favor and stop by Road & Track. Great deals on suspension tuning and he can do it on the spot in most cases.For those of you looking for the thrills of road racing he also teaches a CMRA race license class in San Marcos at Harris Hill Raceway. Private instruction is also available at Harris Hill.A few of the things Keith has done for me including but not limited to:Fork RebuildShock InstallSuspension Set Up For RacingFull Exhaust InstallDyno TuningCMRA Race License ClassTiresTiresTiresInstruction On The TrackTrouble ShootingAnd Good Times!

Had two previous job done:1st: Did not fix a left side oil leak, wanted to take it back but he said he would charge more so i Just rode it leaking,2nd: Bike was not starting and carb needed to be clean and put back: specifically asked for an estimated before job were to be done, said he couldn't give it to me. so i call him on a Friday he said haven't gotten to the bike. I get a call him on Tuesday, Bike was done and is $850, more than what the bike is worth, a Honda rebel 250. I told him he should have call me before he did the job once the diagnosis was done, he didn't, so he knock off $50 and i had to eat $800 and when i asked for my old carb back he said he was keeping and wouldn't give it to me because he took off $50. Don't go to this guy he is not honest and straight forward.

Road and Track Cycles wanted to charge me $150 to change out fork seals. I do not need the forks restored to "Like New", just simply need the seals that were in my hand changed! Normally a $20 - $40 job....$150 is simply Highway Robbery.They may know they're stuff, but so do other lifetime racers and paying $150 to change two forks seals is simply an insult!Beware, unless you do not mind paying 3 - 4 times the market price!

Keith is definitely trustworthy, and a cool guy in general. Honestly seems more concerned with doing a good job than trying to get a few more bucks out of you. It's tough finding mechanics like these, I wouldn't go anywhere else in SA.

Innovative products - great people that listen to the needs of customers and specifically racers and track day riders. Very knowledgeable. Bumped bars with them more than once on the racetrack and have a high degree of confidence in their competence.Miserably annoying personal bedside manners but who cares? They get the Job done! Highly recommend.

Best place in San Antonio to have your bike worked on. You need something fixed on your motorcycle, these guys can fix it. I don't take my bike anywhere else.

Keith knows his stuff! He has worked on a couple of bikes for me, I have to drive from Austin to get to him! I would recommend him for anything from mechanical work to race prep! He is a pro!

This is the place to take your bike when you dont want to get screwed by the big dealerships. I brought my bike over there, and they trouble-shot it for free, on the spot, out in the parking lot. They gave me advice on how to fix it myself, but offered to do it if i couldnt. Then sold me a tire for a very reasonable price. I'll be going back anytime i need anything done.

I brought my bike here twice in the last year and the service was impeccable! The turn around on my bike was fast and the guys there are always pleasant! If you are end a place to take your bike for work - this is it!

These guys fixed up my forks. Previous owner mangled them. Road and Track Cycles made them better than new. New tires, lubed cables and a clutch adjustment.... My Used Buell is like new!

If you want the best race bike suspension for whatever bike you have, this is the place. Even if you just want your standard road bike suspension set perfectly for your weight and riding ability they can do that too

Road & Track Is the only place I let work on any of my bikes. Keith will always tell it to you straight when it comes to saftey and performance. He is meticulous with his work and it is noticable.

Awesome guys. Always come through in a pinch. I've turned up before unannounced, bike on the trailer with bits hanging off and they've just dropped everything to help me out. Fast and do great deals on fitting tires and tweaking suspension, too.
