Auckland City Honda, on Station Road in Penrose, is Auckland's home of Honda Motorcycles and Honda Outdoors, rated 4.4 from 355 Google reviews with friendly staff the most frequent compliment. It stocks new and used road and dirt bikes, plus a showroom of gear, accessories and power equipment, with test rides and online ordering available.
A good motorcycle shop is judged as much on its workshop and parts counter as its showroom: mechanics who service and repair most brands rather than just the badge on the door, and staff who can actually source a part when you need one. Gear deserves trying on in person, since helmet and jacket sizing varies considerably between brands. Riders tend to stay loyal to shops that offer straightforward advice, tidy workmanship and a courtesy bike while a job is under way.
For Auckland riders, it is a handy Penrose stop for a new bike, parts or advice over the counter.
