Customer Testimonials
Here are what some of our customer's have to say about their Vintage Factory Racers...
When I first finalized my purchase of my 1976 CR125 FMF Replica from Vintage Factory, I had a burning desire to actually throw in some premix and re-live the glory years. Once I received the bike, I realized quickly that the painstaking effort and attention to detail that Scott had put into this bike would prevent me from doing anything other than putting the bike on display and simply appreciating it as a beautiful piece of moto history.

I have been collecting vintage motocross and dirt bikes for a number of years. When my hobby got into full swing, I had too many projects to start or complete and locating hard to find vintage parts was becoming increasingly troublesome. When I found Vintage Factory and got to know Scott Steger my problems were solved. I truly had no idea that someone could have all the right contacts and rebuild one of these bikes to just like new condition. I now have over 35 bikes in my collection; a good number of them are on the Vintage Factory web site. If you are a serious vintage bike collector or racer, the Vintage Factory is simply the best company out there!

After digging through countless web sites, and links to vintage bikes, I came across Vintage Factory. My early years of motocross were spent on Honda Elsinores, and after much investigation, I chose Vintage Factory for a few special project bikes...I purchased an RCc125 Marty Smith Replica, a DG CR125 Replica, and a DG CRr250 factory bike replica, all were from the ground up builds. The communication with Scott was by far the best experience I've had, and when the bikes were delivered as promised, they all are by far more than what I expected, fit, finish, and attention to detail were are above, and beyond my satisfaction! Anyone who is looking for a vintage Honda Elsinore, or a custom MX bike, look no further, you will not be disappointed! The price, communication are excellent, and I highly recommend,........

Scott Steger’s Honda Elsinore restoration work is the best I have seen. I have an extensive Elsinore background having enjoyed these popular vintage motorcycles as a collector and rider for the last 10+ years. I have purchased several beautifully restored Elsinore’s from Scott and have also had him do individual restoration projects for me. I currently own several of the bikes that appear in the photos on Scott’s website and I can personally say that the quality of his work is on par with no one else who I have seen. Scott is also a great guy who I hold the highest level of respect.

I have been doing business with Scott Steger for over 5 years, and everything I have purchased, has always been perfect, as described. The two restored bikes Vintage Factory supplied for me were beautiful, with excellent attention to detail! If there is one thing that makes doing business with Scott a pleasure is that he is accessible, and when not, he always returns correspondence in a timely matter. Vintage Factory is certainly in my Favorites.

I'd like to take an opportunity to thank you very much for the excellent
restorations on my Elsinore's, and advice over the past years. Your
restoration bikes are just like the way they came from the factory. My
Vintage Factory Elsinores reside inside my home, and are looked at and admired
daily, and bring back wonderful memories of my childhood. I would highly
recommend you to all vintage motorcycle enthusiasts. Your attention to detail
is second to none.
Thank you very much!

I received my bikes over the
weekend. I purchased a Marty Smith RC 125 Replica and a 1975 FMF 125 Package
Racer. Both bikes are awesome! The quality, fit, finish and attention to detail
right down to the application of the stickers is first class. I would highly
recommend The Vintage Factory to anyone that is looking for a top quality
restoration. I purchased the bikes for pure enjoyment but now I consider them an
investment, as I know they will only increase in value. I am looking forward to
my next Vintage Factory purchase. Thanks again for all of the help, great
communication and keeping Motocross History alive. Regards, Fausto Vargas.

Scott Steger is an absolute artist! His re-creation of the 1975 Honda RC 125 Elsinore is incredible! If you want a perfect example of this period in Honda's motocross history, Vintage Factory, and Scott Steger is your only choice.

Scott does work that is absolutely astounding. He is the ONLY restorer I would consider for any of my work!

After seeing the RC-125 replica and FMF racers
at the St. Louis Supercross,
that was all it took for me to want one. Scott's display was so neat, we talked
about the Marty Smith replica, I was and still am a big fan of Marty Smith.
Two months later, we were in the van on our way to pick up the RC-125,
Scott built for me.
My collection is growing and the RC is a real stand out. I am a neat freak and
the bike meets my expectations. You can trust what Scott says, he knows his
bike biz. GREAT WORK!

As the owner of many collectable motorcycles, I'm sometimes surprised at the reactions of friends when they are checking out my collection.
Sitting between a 1098R Ducati and a 1961 Rickman Matchless is a Marty Smith RC125 replica Honda that Scott built. Recently a non-motorcyclist friend was looking at my bikes, and he spent about 10 minutes walking around Scott's RC. He asked if it was a new bike, and said that the detail is just incredible. I couldn't agree more. Even though I walk past this bike several times every day, I can't help but look at it - it is absolutely beautiful, and the engineering is just incredible. I ride my Ducatis, my Rickmans, my CR500 twin shock Lackey replica; I even ride my 1967 360 Husqvarna - the actual bike that Malcolm Smith, and J.N. Roberts rode to win the first ever Baja (Mexican) 1000. In fact, I ride all of my bikes except one - Scott's bike is so perfect that I can't get myself to start it up! I may just have to buy another one...
Often my friends ask the question... if you could only have one vintage bike, which one would you chose? I have a perfect 1974 YZ250, 4 Rickmans, many Maicos, Honda SL 100 and 125 (lime green!), Pentons, CZs, Huskys, Triumphs, an RM370 signed by Roger DeCoster.... but if I had to chose one, it would be the RC! And I would ride it as often as 0D possible!
