New BMW motorcycle dealership now open

BMW Motorcycles of Birmingham has opened a new dealership as part of Big #1 Motorsports in West Homewood.

The new dealership, located at the I-65 and Oxmoor Road exit, offers a full line of BMW motorcycles, accessories, parts, apparel and service capabilities. These are included in a 2,200-square-foot retail showroom.

General manager Joey Belmont operates Big #1 Motorsports with the help of his brother Johnny, who is the sales manager.

“As Alabama’s largest powersports retailer for over 43 years, we are continually focused on providing the best sales and service experience for motorcyclists in our area,” Joey said. “When we looked at expanding our inventory of premium brands, BMW was a natural fit.”

The Belmonts have formed a team of operations, sales and service associates with riding expertise, industry experience and a knowledge of the BMW brand. Among the service staff are a master-certified BMW technician and BMW-trained service manager. They will continue to grow as new BMW-certified technicians are trained every year.

 “This is a great area for motorcycle enthusiasts,” Joey said. “We’ve got everything from twisty roads to mountainous regions, and we’re just 15 minutes away from the Barber Motorsports Museum, which offers events in which we participate all year long.”
