History

Established in 2008.

We were originally Bob’s British Bikes, specializing in the import and worldwide sales of parts for the old British bikes, such as Norton, BSA, and Triumph. This business was folded into Empire Cycle, which opened for business in February of 2008 with Triumph, and in short order added Arctic Cat, Aprilia, Royal Enfield, and Moto Guzzi. In 2011, we added Husqvarna, Vespa, and KYMCO, and continue to grow. To meet the growing volume of business, we have recently expanded our showrooms to include an additional 3500 square feet for our used and demo units. Come by and join the fun!

Meet the Business Owner

Kristin C.

Business Owner

Well, I grew up with the old Triumphs, including a ’67 TR6 while in high school and college, and never lost my love of them, although I was away from them for many years. After the kids had grown, I picked up and restored another TR6, and, being the business fanatic that I am, got into importing, exporting, and retailing parts for the old British bikes. That business, Bob’s British Bikes, got folded into our new enterprise, Empire Cycle & Powersports here in Spokane, and the new business has grown substantially every year since then. Our specialty is European bikes, and I love them all! Debbie, my wife, runs the store for me, as I am tied up in other businesses, and she and Al, my salesman, have helped develop the great reputation that we have.

In regards to vintage bikes, my particular love is for the Norton-​Matchless hybrids, with Atlas motors and Matchless frames, such as the P11’s, G15CSR’s, and the the G/​N15 series. We always have a collection of vintage projects for sale
