Bought my R 1300 GS here in October. Joey spent two hours going through every ride mode and electronic feature — no upsell pressure, just genuine enthusiasm for the bike. Picked it up the same week. Best dealership experience in 20 years of riding.

Alabama's Original Powersports Family — and Birmingham's BMW Home
If you've twisted the throttle heading south on the Talladega Scenic Highway and felt that particular sense of belonging that only happens on a real motorcycle, you already understand something about what Big #1 Motorsports is. Founded in 1971 by Joe Belmont — a Vietnam veteran whose passion for motorcycles outlasted everything else — Big #1 isn't just a dealership. It's 55 consecutive years of proof that genuine enthusiasm, passed through a family, builds something that lasts.
Today, Joe's sons Joey Belmont (General Manager) and Johnny Belmont (Sales Manager) run the store the way their father did: with real knowledge, zero pressure, and the kind of credibility that only comes from actually riding the bikes they sell. When BMW Motorrad USA expanded into Alabama in 2015, they selected Big #1 explicitly because of this reputation — citing the Belmonts' "stellar reputation for serving the motorcycling community."
🏅 Why BMW Motorrad Chose Big #1 for Alabama
As documented in BMW Group USA's official 2015 press release: Big #1 was selected as Alabama's authorized BMW Motorrad dealer because of over 43 years of demonstrated commitment to customer service in the Birmingham market. Their service team is BMW-trained, their parts department carries OEM inventory, and all factory warranty work is performed in-house.
Beyond BMW, the floor at 505 Cobb Street covers the full powersports spectrum: Indian Motorcycle, Ducati, Yamaha, Suzuki, Can-Am, Sea-Doo, and Polaris — making it genuinely Alabama's largest powersports destination under a single roof.

Brought my S 1000 RR in for its 6,000-mile service. Andrew's team finished ahead of schedule, communicated every step, and flagged a minor chain tension issue I hadn't noticed. This is what a BMW service center should look like.
BMW Service DepartmentTraded my old Suzuki and got a pre-owned F 900 GS Adventure. Transparent on the trade value, no games on pricing. Full service records, clean. Drove from Tuscaloosa and would do it again without hesitation.
Pre-Owned F 900 GS AdventureOrdered a K 1600 Grand America — had to wait 8 weeks for the build slot but they kept me updated the whole time. Delivery was flawless. Johnny walked through every infotainment feature. These guys actually ride and it shows in every interaction.
K 1600 Grand America PurchaseParts department is excellent — Jeff had my G 310 GS fork seals in two days when the Atlanta dealer quoted two weeks. Docking one star only because service bay wait times can be long, but they're clearly busy for a reason.
