    Found a good moto mechanic since Faster closed

    I'm VERY picky about who touches my bike. All of us need someone to take it to when we get in over our head (or simply want a pro to do things right). Faster shut down, so I needed a new place.

    I gotta say, the guys at MadMoto know wtf they're doing. Steve was great at being in contact with me, and they never left me in the dark. I like having old-as-dirt racers work on my shit, they tend to know how things need to work for peak performance

    Excellent Excellent shop. Will be going back

    Wait, Faster Motorsports, the one on Brighton Blvd, closed? When did this happen? I just took my new SV to them in Jan to check out after a recommendation from a friend.

    Edit: from their website...

    Absolute Race Technology has purchased Faster Motorsports.
    Bobby Fitch & Team are excited to continue serving our Friends,
    Fellow Racers and Riders!

    Everything has been moved to their location:

    Absolute Race Technology
    2226 South Jason Street
    Denver, CO 80223 303.825.0975



    So have previous high regards for this shop now gone due to the change in ownership?

    I'm not sure who from their staff transferred, but the main guy, Bart, is now working with Steve at MadMoto. Bart knows his shit

    GuitarX recommended MadMoto to me - he trusts them with his MV Augusta. I plan on taking the Duc there once I hit my next service marker.

    Love the guys at Boulder Motorsports, but MadMoto is closer.

    I'm surprised it took soo long for faster to go under. Shitty work comes back to haunt you, doesn't it? Good Bye!

    Re: Found a good moto mechanic since Faster closed

    Just wanted to bump this thread so I can remember to post an update lol...

    I called mad moto earlier today and will taking my R6 to them for a full tune in the next couple weeks...will definitely post back with an update on the shop after i get it done!

    Reason its taking so long to get it done is because I need to install my new smog block offs this weekend and then send my ECU to Bauce to get a flash done before doing the final tune on it and i'm not sending it to bauce until august 10th

    I'll post back for sure!
