Dealer Description


About Motoworks Chicago
Motoworks Chicago was founded in 2004 to solve a very simple problem: there wasn’t a good shop in town to get your motorcycle serviced. More than a decade later, Motoworks still serves as the Chicago area’s premier motorcycle service center. Beyond service, Motoworks Chicago also serves as the city of Chicago’s only authorized BMW, Triumph, Ducati, and Vespa dealer. The road from there to here has been one hell of a ride. More on that story is can be found on our blog: Ten Years of Motoworks Chicago.

Motoworks is located at 1901 S Western Ave, in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood, where it serves as a renowned Vespa, Triumph, Ducati, and BMW motorcycle dealership

Motoworks Chicago is conveniently located near the areas of Naperville, Aurora, Rockford, Evanston, and Arlington Heights.
