I have purchased 18 motorcycles and RUVs over the years so far. By far the most Excellent Dealership Ive ever had the pleasure of doing business with is Hesters Motorsports in Raton,, NM. John and Connie and staff go out of their way to listen to ones needs and provide you with exactly what you need and want. Very knowledgeable staff with attention to detail and to you the customer.

Spring of 2020 my buddy Landon Sherwood brought over his brand new 2020 Teryx, we had a blast cruising the nearby mountains and I thought I just have to get a side by side. As we were talking he said, "You know what, there is this place in Raton, NM called Hester's that you really should look into and I think it would be worth your while". The rest was history, I contacted John Hester and I knew immediately that this is where I needed to purchase my 2020 Mule Pro FXT Ranch Edition with some awesome upgrades. John and his staff are super knowledgable and know how to build you a machine for your exact needs and riding style. We have had a blast taking our machine to Sedona, AZ, Moab, UT, West Yellowstone, MT, St. Anthony, ID, and numerous locations in the Wasatch Back where we live. Look no further, there are none better than Hester's Motorsports.

Purchased my 4 wheeler years ago from them and they have been great repairing and servicing it through the years. Just purchased a new side by side, and the same great experience

The other day I went to the hesters dealership and test rode the CF moto c force 600 hesters edition atv. It was such a great machine I ended up buying it 2 days later. The service was great and the staff was able to answer any questions I had on the atv.

Thanks Andres

I hope you remember the couple from Wisconsin with the Nomad and the Honda ACE. THANK YOU for helping us make our vacation trip a success. YOU ARE GREAT.

"I could drive 65 miles to get my 2009 Ninja ZX-14 worked on in Santa Fe, but instead I drive 105 miles EACH WAY from Las Vegas, New Mexico to Raton, because they ALWAYS provide the best service. I use to dread having to go take my bikes into an authorized dealership (Like Santa Fe Motorsports)to be serviced or to buy parts, because I was always worried about getting an exaggerated diagnoses on my bike or an overinflated price on parts. But, it is not the case with Hester's. I actually look forward to going down and talking to John or Connie, knowing They will give me a great price, quality service, and solid advice or answers for the endless questions I usually have, which can only be answered by a professional Kawasaki mechanic such as John. I recently took a road trip to Idaho Springs, Colorado, and had a cooling issue with my bike overheating and accidental damage from my bike being laid down while parked outside my hotel room. I limped in and left my bike at Hester's shop for almost 2 weeks for repaired and a Full 8500 mile service. When I picked up my bike it looked amazing and like it was brand new. Plus, the parts, repairs, and labor were priced so reasonable, I was able to purchase an additional $100 dollars in accessories with money to spare. Great service, great process, and great people at Hester's!"

"I have delt with Hester's my whole life, there the only place I'll ever go. When your treated this good why else would you go anywhere else? I just bought 3 new ATV's from them and LOVE them! Thanks guys."

My experience with Hester's was great from beginning to end. I would highly recommend their dealership.

"My Dad and I were touring N.M. We are from Ga. quite a long way from home so to speak. We had found a motel and were going to get something to eat. When I tried to start my bike nothing"" dead battery. Well when I stopped in a Hester's and told John what had happened he not only sold me the right battery He loaded up some tools and came to the motel and installed it. Thats service above and beyond the call. John is the owner of the dealership by the way. John thanks again for the help. If your every over saint marys way look me up. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DEALERSHIP. Capt. Keith Tatum saint marys ga."""

"I was looking for a 2010 Ninja 250R SE for my son. I tried a dealer in Amarillo, TX. Their sales staff would not return my calls or kept forgetting what i wanted to buy. I called Hester's. John and his wife were very helpful. I got excellent sales service. I am glad that I called. I will recommend to anybody!"

best service around no doubt

I drove by the other day and saw your rock crawler jeeps out front all flexed out and being an off road wheeler think that it's awesome to have a shop of your caliber take on the off-road world. The black Jeep of Johns looks killer for taking it from stock to a real wheeler in a couple weeks was killer!! Anyone that does not go to these guys are Posers!! I look forward to doing business with you in the future!!

I just purchased a new motorcycle from Hester and it was a great purchase. No pressure from the dealer to make a purchase. I will continue to buy all of my motorcycle parts and accessories from Hester's.

I Buy my parts for my fourwheeler at hesters yamaha because they have good stuff at great prices

"My '97 FZR600 broke down just past Raton - I got it to these guys and they had me back on the road again with enough time to put a few hundred miles in before the end of the day. Thank goodness for honest folks that will help a traveler in need! Very reasonable, very friendly, Good people."

"I was in the market for a motorcycle and was really looking for a Harley. I was in Raton & saw this dealership and decided to stop. The bikes really caught my eye and the prices were in the range I was looking for. There was no pressure by the staff to buy, the salesperson was very helpful. For two weeks I shopped Northern NM and could not find anywhere to compare to their prices or service. I spoke with John and sealed the deal for a V-Star 1100 Silverado and accessories, over the phone. Hesters staff was very helpful and honest. If I would ever buy a bike again, I would go there and I would strongly recommmend them to my friends and family. By far the best and friendliest service I have come across in a very long time. "

"I first walked into Hesters at the first of the year when that big snow hit, they set me up with a Grizzly 450 with a winch and a plow, installed everything, great deal and a great job. Now here it is Febuary and I got the itch to have a street bike again, who else was I going to go to, no one else thats who, I walked in and John was telling me of all the new Stars he had being built and what his plans were and there by the wall loaded with Star accessories was my beautiful V star 650, pearl white, already set up the way I wanted. Bags, windshield, backrest, John only had to say Thats the one and it was, I bought that bike right there!, They even gave me a free helemt and jacket and then Connie handed me a gift card with there name on it and said there is $300 on there for you to spend on more accessories."" First thing I ordered was drag pipes and got a Star cover to cover this beauty up with. I was SO happy, I never have been treated like this, I even tiped Byran the mechanic $20 after he did the pre-delivery with me. Smile from ear to ear I rode off. Thank you Hesters, you have a customer for life!"""

"John was very helpful in helping me decide between a 450F, 250, and 250F to the point of letting me ride his personal bikes. I ended up with the 450F after doing a lot of talking with him about reliability, handling, and etc. I made a good choice and am having a lot of fun on the bike. We also bought a TTR125LE and once again, rode his personal bike prior to purchase. That sealed the deal. Plus, they have put a LOT of money into our local track. No other local dealer has lifted a finger to give us legal riding areas, therefore Hester's will get my business."

"I bought a Grizzly 660, they took the time to explain the ATV to me in full detail. I filled out the application for factory financing and while Connie was working on that John took me out and let me test drive the ATV. WOW what a bike, I rode the Honda 700 and this bike beat it in every way and was several hundreds less. I would recoment the Hesters to anyone! My brother Richard has already bought one from them too and he lives in Taos. Thanks Hester's!"

"I was recomended to Hester's from a friend who bought a street bike from them last year. Everything he told me was ture!! They treated me great! Far better then our local Yamaha dealer here in Pueblo. They took the time and told me everything, every detail and even compaired the Grizzly 700 I bought with everything else and let me tell you NOTHING compaires to this thing. I even get a 10% discount for a whole year with them and they will even ship the stuff to my door!! Thats service!! Oh and NO SALES TAX to CO!! they were hundreds less then the pueblo dealer."

"I have enjoyed each time I have walked into Hesters Yamaha, from the time I was a young man at the old dealership, and at the new dealership, it is nice to have a big city dealership in a great city of Raton. Thank you, Hesters oh and Kawasaki"

"John, Connie and the staff at Hester's Motorsports treated me like I was their only customer. They took the time to explain everything about the Star Motorcycles Stratoliner S which I ended up purchasing from them. They provided me with materials to take home so I could make an informed decision before buying. My first service on the bike was prompt, thorough without shortcuts. I look forward to a long-term relationship with the staff at Hester's Motorsports. I would recommend them to anyone."
