Old school feel and badass triumph race motorcycle shop! Sixth St. has been in the scene a long time, and the shop shows it! Super knowledgeable and ready to work on your bike, not only triumphs either! my repair was for my Harley, so inquire within and visit a piece of motorcycle history! Check them out!

I randomly visited this shop because when I went to my dealer their mechanic said my dual sport, that had black drips on it and was rusting after one day in the rain, was that way because hot oil dripped down and all I needed to do was clean it off. I didn't argue but you can't just clean away rust.As soon as I arrived, Hugh came out to greet me and asked if I was okay and if I was coming to hang out. Which was very nice. I told him my concerns and was ready with my tools to pop the seat off when instructed to. Two seconds later he tells me that they sold me a bike with no tube running off the battery. So what they told me was oil, was actually battery acid eating at my baby. I knew something wasn't right. I've had my license a long time but this is my first bike so I'm, to say the least, ready to raise hell fire.Not exactly sure how I want to handle all of that but I'm very sure that this will be the shop I send any and everyone I meet or know who needs work because of how chill he was and because he gave me a hose and put it on with not a word about money. True integrity. I'll definitely be back.Thanks Hugh!

I've been there several times over the last two years with a Royal Enfield and a BSA. Another shop once quoted $377 for a repair on the Enfield that Hugh fixed in less than 5 minutes with a screwdriver, no new parts needed, and didn't even take any money for his time. That really saved me that day! He and Fumi are super knowledgeable and will save you a ton of money if you have a British bike because they've seen so many and know these bikes better than anyone, so they're not going to waste the time most other mechanics will just trying to figure out how to do basic things on your Brit bike at $95/hr. They're really honest and top notch at working on these bikes. I couldn't recommend a shop or mechanics better than this shop and these two.

Called about ongoing electrical issues on my '08 t-100. Josh and the team got my job done in 1 week including diagnosing the multiple issue and fixing them. I finally feel like my bike is running as it should after 2 years of issues. Professional, communicative, and knowledgeable. There are closer mechanics including the Triumph Dealership, but I'd much prefer to bring my bike to Sixth Street for any future work.Services: Carburetor cleaning, Electrical repair, Brake service & repair

The first, last and everyplace in the middle for your British bike and beyond. Hugh is probably the man with the most hands on knowledge on Earth. He is also honest, to the point and trustworthy. Once something is fixed, it stays that way. You will get better than a fair shake, and better service than anyplace can provide for your British bike. Proceed with confidence.Service: Engine repair

I had called countless motorcycle shops in 4 different states over 10 years. Nobody would even touch my classic 1963 Honda, one place did a compression test then overcharged me. When I arrived at 6th St. Specials, Hugh told me.. Hey man, don t worry about it. We can fix anything He is right and his mechanics are top notch. Less than a week later she was running strong and they charged me a very fair price. I cannot recommend this shop high enough, if there were 8 stars on Yelp I d still try to turn it up to 11. You ll be taken care of, look no further.

These guys are surgeons. They're like the Triumph Whisperers. I strongly recommend taking your bike to Sixth Street over dealers, but especially if you have a classic bike. They go above and beyond. I recently brought my bike in for a tune-up. My brake lever was bent from a d-bag hit and run. I never even mentioned it when I dropped the bike off and Sixth Street replaced it without even being asked. They're just plain top notch.

Hugh truly loves British motorcycles and it shows in his work. Honest, fair and excellent service. I would highly recommend this place to anyone with a British motorcycle, but I'm sure he could fix any brand bike. I've been riding motorcycles for 40 years & you just dont find places like this anymore.

Easily the finest Triumph motorcycle repair shop in NYC, if not the state. Have taken my bike to them for 5yrs now and every repair has been top notch. Can't thank 6th Street Specials enough for all of the hard work they've put in over the years.

Hugh is the man, straight up. I've never found a more honest, sincere, and easy going mechanic in my life. I was referred to Hugh by a mech in Brooklyn who wasn't working on Triumphs as much anymore. Hugh helped me out with my 1978 Tiger, and the bike is running amazingly. He won't rip you off, he won't suggest work that doesn't need to be done, and he won't bull#*t you. He even discouraged me from some repairs I was suggesting, showing me why it wasn't necessary for me to spend the money. As I was getting ready to leave, my bike was running a little rough (had been sitting for a week at the shop while I was out of town), and Hugh and one of his mechanics adjusted the timing right there in the street, and wouldn't accept the additional money I offered him! He loves old Triumphs, and it shows. As long as I own a Triumph, I'm taking it to Sixth Street Specials.

Real mechanics in the truest sense. Honest, helpful, reliable guys. If you have a Brit bike you shouldn't be looking anywhere else. Make it easy on yourself and go to 6th
