Hap's Cycle Sales was founded by "Hap" AC Poneleit. Originally, Hap was part owner of the Sarasota Motorcycle Company with Ford Pucket. Sarasota Motorcycle Company was later called Pucket's Harley-Davidson when it became a Harley dealer. Hap eventually became the sole owner, and the dealership name was changed again, this time to Hap's Cycle Sales Inc. Hap always ran his company with a focus on customer service and a passion for motorcycling.
After Hap's passing Hap's Cycle Sales was owned and managed by David Bixler (Hap's Son in Law), Alice Bixler (Hap's only daugther), and Robert "Bob" Poneliet. David Bixler started working for his father in law after his honorable discharge from the US Army in 1970. David served in the Veitnam War and became the number salesman for Hap's Cycle Sales for decades.

Had an appointment to have the starter cord replaced on my Honda EU2200i generator, which is, I think, their only weak point, otherwise a standout generator, even if they're a bit spendy, I arrived early, so was expecting to wait a while until they could get to me, but they took me in immediately and told me approximately how long it would take, so I went to lunch nearby at a great Mexican restaurant (Angel's Taqueria), if you're in the neighborhood, go there, it's all terrific homemade food, but be careful with their hot sauce, when I returned, I had to wait just a few more minutes and they brought

Haps Honda, Bob and his team are excellent and a pleasure to work with. They’re very knowledgeable and work with integrity. I took my bike to be lowered and stretched. They did the work and lowered it as much as they could safely. When I got home and saw that they could have lowered it more it was as simple as calling and asking if they could lower it more for the price I paid since that’s what I asked for and without hesitation they warned me of hazards while driving it that low but none the less did the work I asked and I am in love with the bikes new look. 10/10 recommend.

Yes, I created a monster but ran into a bigger one at Hap's Cycle BMW. Finally after introducing a small problem w/ my K1200GT battery of 15years; I decided to purchase & try a new lithium battery. It didn't work and it cost me more problems than before.
My 36K service was pending for this bike and I was quoted roughly $450 four days ago. I made an appointment and brought the bike in the following Tuesday 10.05.21. and miraculously the price jumped up +$1100 additional dollars! Hap's (Sam - the tech/sales) said "I had been quoted a price earlier in March 2021 for the same service, and “they”

Thanks to the staff at Haps cycle! As soon as you walk in you get that family feel :) the ladys in the back financing department are just a pleasure to work with and the manager just seemed like a fantastic guy. I am going to try not to bug service department with questions about my 2020 Africa twin adventure sports. But they already proved that its ok to do so. They helped me figure out that it was improper usage of my bike and helped me understand why. Never had such a nice bike and looking forward to future business with this family owned business. Hats off to Haps cycle :)

I purchased a 2021 Honda CBR600RR. Overall the service and sales process was white glove. It started a few days before the purchase when I reached out via phone to ensure the motorcycle was still available, and has a few questions about what all Brands for gear they carry in-stock.
I spoke with Steve for about 20 minutes. He was asking me questions about how I intended to ride and provided me insight on what gear he would recommend for my style and use.

Hands down the most incredible purchasing experience i have ever had. The Haps team is a class above any other retailer or dealership. As the other reviews say the family atmosphere is first and foremost at every single point in the shopping process from online inquiries to in person showings. Steve, Alice, Sara, Ryan, Gary, Bob, and the entire staff took incredible care of us from sales, service, parts, and all the financials. Down to earth and honest people running a great business, Thanks Hap's Family.
