"I have been with SLM for almost 10 years as a racer, and consider them close friends. Todd will do anything for his loyal customers. There have been times when I was in need of parts or maintenance before a race and they have always taken care of me and got me going again. I stay loyal to SLM and they return the favor, I like that in a business."
Gayle , Allen, TX -
"I have been racing cross country off and on since 1992. I have been to a lot of shops, when I was racing TCCRA open expert Todd was at the top of my class. I knew who he was but didn't go to his shop. I found myself struggling in the class with physical problems and bike problems every race. Todd went out of his way to help me with both. I started dealing with SLM and it was great, he goes out of his way to get what you need as fast as he can. His service is the best! When I buy a bike I keep it for a long time so I always need something and SLM is always there for me. Thanks Todd!!!!!"
Bunbba T Terrell -

"I have been racing for about 2 years now. I first heard about SLM through a good friend. and ever sence i have used him because of his service is great and his prices are more than fair. SLM has helped me through all the good and bad times if it wasn't for Todd i might not get to race or ride all the time." Thank's Todd!!!!"
Bradley , Trinidad, TX -
"I have known Todd Tarver beginning when he was 13 years old, back in the early 1990's. I became his first paying customer. At that time I bought a dirt bike from him and was so impressed with his knowledge and maturity that I started to use him for all my service needs. Between the ages of 13 and 19 he repaired and rebuilt all my dirt bikes for me and my son's racing program. He introduced me and my son to cross country dirt bike racing. I have continued to be his customer to this day, spanning more than 18 years. I have bought dirt bikes, parts, and services from him and I have always received prompt, fair, and quality treatment. I strongly recommend Todd to the general public and hope that you give him the opportunity to show what he can do for you."
Stuart , Grand Prairie, TX -
"SLM Racing is the only place I would recommend for any motorsports needs. These guys know their stuff better than any shop or dealership I have been to in my 25 years of motorcycle riding. They have great prices but they don't need them. Their expertise, experience, and speed are worth any amount. I'm not racing much but happily drive the 60 miles to see guys at SLM for all my needs."
Andrew , Weatherford, TX -
"I want to say thanks to Todd and SLM for all the help they have been. I couldn't have won the championship with out them. I'm proud to be on TEAM SLM. Thanks to Sean Hackly too! your awesome. Thanks so much."
Bradley , Trinidad, TX -
"I found out about SLM through cycle trader where Todd had a KTM listed. Todd gave me a price so good that I drove 5 1/2 hours from Arkansas to get it. Since I drove so far, Todd hooked me up with a bunch of accessories at the best prices you will ever find. I have since bought more items through Todd and he ships them to me. His prices and service are why he will be my main bike and parts supplier from now on. I have worked at dealersips and been to probably hundreds of them and none compare to the personal attention you get at SLM. Best people and delership I have ever came accross by far!!"
Tom , Fort Smith, AR -
"Hi Todd, My son and I just got back from riding part of the Trans American Trail in Colorado and Utah on our 2 KTM 500s we purchased from KTM of North Texas. We had a great trip! Bikes worked great, even at 12,650 feet, no problems not even a flat tire. We saw lots of great places and had lots of fun. Thanks for your help and all the guys at North Texas KTM for helping to make it happen."
Larry , Arlington, TX -
"Hello Todd, I just wanted to let you know I really appreciate the help and the "hands-on" learning experience you and Beau gave me on Sat. afternoon. I thought there was no way I was gonna make the race, but thanks to you and Beau I made the 2+ hour drive in time for a recon lap on Sat. and raced on Sunday! No, I didn't win, but the bike ran perfectly and I didn't finish last! Thanks again for all the help, - Dr. Vargas and crew."
Luis , Fort Worth, TX -
"Very good dealership. They have a very big parts and accessory selection."
Bob , Peaster, TX -
"Todd and his crew at SLM are the best KTM dealer I have ever experienced! These guys have most parts in stock and if they don't they will get it in a few days. They are professional and prices are competitive with the cheapest you will find online. They answer the phone, answer questions and are happy to go above and beyond to get your bike running and racing again! NEVER go to another KTM dealer, you just won't be happy after experiencing SLM customer service."
Lance , Watauga, TX -
"Wow! Fantastic Customer Service, Andrew was awesome to work with..I'll be buying all my KTM Parts needs here from now on!"
-Anonymous -
"I recently ordered several items of gear and some KTM parts by email from Todd and since I am from South Africa my order was quite complicated in terms of payment and swapping out some items which were the wrong size. Nevertheless I received nothing but great prices and helpfulness and patience with my order and I would highly recommend using Todd and SLM Racing to anyone at any time!"
Chris , Hartbeespoort, SOUTH AFRI -
"I've bought two bikes from Todd and crew in as many months. Gotta tell you...KTM of North Texas / SLM Racing is a dealer set apart from others. It seems that Todd is available 24/7. Their priority is personal customer service. I fully expect a long term relationship to evolve. I can not sing more praise for them. Top flight bunch, without a doubt."
Ben , Lufkin, TX -
"I have been racing here in Uganda since 1996 and i have always had problems with sourcing equipment/ parts and accessories until i found out about KTM of North Texas, SLM Racing and Todd in particular! I must say that it is great dealing with Todd, he is a hands on person, delivers and has given my team great deals on equipment, accessories and parts! I have won 4 National MX1 titles using accessories from Todd and My son Alestair Blick won 3 National Championship titles and the 2013 regional MX85 Championship on equipment from Todd! A number of local riders here have also benefited from this partnership, thanks Todd and keep up the good work!! Arthur Blick Junior from Uganda/Africa"
Arthur , Kampala, UGANDA -
"I am a serious racer and I need a serious shop that can give me what I need when I need it like rider support at the races when something goes wrong. SLM racing (KTM of North Texas) is that shop!!!!! They have helped me with product advice and also selling it at the best price I could find! And when I had something go wrong with my bike at a race I was at, they did not hesitate to fully assist me above and beyond my expectations. I can honestly say no other shop in North Texas or any other shop I have ever heard of would do this for a customer! I can honestly say I will be using SLM Racing (KTM of North Texas) for a long time and I am proud to have their support and logos on my bike!"
Beau , Denton, TX -
"My family and I started going to Todd about 8 years ago; out of the 8 years we have had no problems. This shop has the best prices, products on hand and customer service over any other shop! On a normal race weekend we drop off 4-5 bikes. Todd and his master mechanic, Shawn, always repair/fix our race bikes fast and race ready! Thank you so much KTM of North Texas!"
Jared , Cedar Hill, TX -
"KTM of North Dallas/SLM Racing gave me the best buying experience I have ever had! Todd was able to get me a 2016 KTM Freeride for a great price, and amazingly enough delivered it to my house in Albuquerque, New Mexico! If there is anyone out there anywhere near Texas who is interested in a specific KTM Model or KTM in general, contact Todd. He gave me a a better deal on the newest model year than i could find anywhere else!! And I live in New Mexico! Once again, thank you sooo much Todd! You made my Year! Your the Best!!!! :) Sincerely Richard A. Mares of Albuquerque, New Mexico"
Richard , Albuquerque, NM -
"Just purchased my first KTM, a 2016 450SXF. I couldn't be happier about the buying experience. If you want a '16 just get in line. I put my name on the list, put a deposit down and as promised got it in 2-3 weeks. I'm new to TX and wanted to find a shop that was dirtbike friendly and had an old school, not "big box" atmosphere. This is it. Todd and the crew at SLM KTM of North Texas are friendly and welcoming, a fun place to do business, hang out, whatever!"
-Anonymous -
"Bought a 2016 KTM 500EXC. Andrew in service is awesome. They treat you like your friends that are into bikes. My first KTM I owned and so happy I own it."
Mathew , Burleson, TX -
"These guys go out of their way to be helpful. The kind of helpful that you might expect from your best friends but don't always get. I can't recommend them highly enough. Very rare in todays business climate. Thanks"
Royce , Arlington, TX -
"I am new with KTM and unfortunately we only have one dealer available in Namibia! Its been a real pleasure dealing with you guys and I will definitely be back in the future."
Deon , Windhoek, NAMIBIA -
"The folks at SLM are top notch! Absolutely incredible service from the first interaction to the very last. Todd responded to every question, which I had many, with fast and in depth useful information, not the typical salesman BS. They are up front and honest, everything they told me was dead-on. I ordered the bike (used with 50 miles on it) unseen 900 miles away from Rio Rancho, NM, and trusted them to pack it and ship it, they didnt let me down. Todd took care of everything. The bike came in boxed as it came from the factory, extremely well packed. I will be buying my bikes from Todd from now on; Im a very very happy customer. We have some good dealers in Albuquerque, but none can match the customer service I received from SLM. Thanks SLM for a great experience."
Steven Van Bastian, Albuquerque, NM -
Best service, they will take care of you before, during and after the sale. A lifetime relationship.
Josh Santana, For worth, TEXAS -
Todd at slmracing is a super helpful friendly guy. He will do whatever it takes to get you going on your bike! I would strongly recommend him if you are looking to purchase a new bike or need bike services.
Melanie Lock, Durango, CO -
My son was given a make a wish from the MAKE A WISH FOUNDATION. He wanted a KTM 65.
KTM of Northtexas made his wish come true. They also fitted him for all his gear and cloths. They sponsored this for him. Thank you for making this happen for my son. You guy's are wonderful!!!!! If your looking for a bike or gear this place has the best selection of everything you might want. My son has his first race on Sunday. God Bless Youlinda mccrory, KELLER, TX -
Found a bike online for an unbelievably low price. Drove four hours and found the bike in perfect condition. They had done all the service. Bert explained all the starting procedures and had answers to all of my questions. He then took me around the shop and showed me their operation. Really the best customer service experience I have had anywhere! I'm from out of state but I will make the drive for any bike purchases. Really appreciate it. Will be back.
Jeff Marburger, Blanchard, OK -
Had another great experience at KTM North Texas. The staff is great and they always have lots of bikes in stock as well as accessories, apparel etc.. Bert is very knowledgeable and goes the extra mile to be sure you get the bike that is the right fit for you.
Roger Martin -
I want to start out by saying I normally don't write reviews, however the crew at SLM racing deserves it. I had bought a new bike in July and developed a fuel issue with it. I live in E. Texas. I did my research and decided because of reviews to use SLM Racing KTM. I called and Bert, (the owner) answered, I reported that I was having a problem with my bike and reported that I lived 250 miles away. I asked if possible if I could schedule and get same day service. He reported sure no problem. Brought my bike to them and in an hour Paul, the technician had my bike going (faulty fuel pump). Now THAT'S Service. All of the guys at SLM Racing are awesome guy's and went out of there way to help me. I strongly advise you if you are needing service or buying a new KTM to give them a call. Truly a good experience!
Jeff Mac -
Bought a used 2017 Alta Redshift, for a very good price. Completed the entire transaction via phone, and email. Could not be more pleased with the entire transaction. A great bike, at a great price, with a friendly, and helpful dealership. would highly recommend.
Chris Goione, CASTLE ROCK, CO -
Was in town on a visit and my bike started to make a odd noise. Stoped in at the end of the day and they bent over backwards to get me on the road safely and quickly as possible. Best experience at a bike shop Ive ever had. They just had to replace my chain.
Chris Clapp, Clinton, TN -
Recently stopped by to browse since we where in the area, my husband walked out with a bike and 2 bags of goodies! Bart was awesome he really helped us out and gave us a bunch of info on our new bike! The store is equipped with beautiful merchandise even for infants!!! Now daddy has his new bike & baby also has his racing pacifiers!!! Definitely will be going back!!!
-Anonymous -
This place is hands down the best motorcycle shop I have ever handled business with. Bert was second to none when it came to helping me get a bike for my step son. Within an hour the deal was done, paperwork was in the mail and the bike was ours! Bert you are the man! Thank you again for the awesome experience. We will for sure be back!
Chase Crawford, Ypsilanti, MICHIGAN -
Easy and fast transaction, huge stock of parts. Good friendly people.
Michael Menou, Natchitoches, LOUISIANA -
I bought my bike a month ago now, late April 2020. I have to say that Bert, Todd and the crew made this the absolute best buying experience ever. I live 3 hours from SLM, I never thought that after one short phone call that Bert would be asking when I wanted to come get the new SX. Once in store The staff was extremely nice and awesome is the only word I can use to describe the home like treatment. I have been a customer of Todd's prior to picking up KTM and won my respect and business then. I can say is THANK YOU SLM racing and I look forward for all my future trips to your store for parts and new bikes.
Matthew Borden, Henderson, TEXAS -
Update, only gave three stars because I bought new bike, brought back home to El paso and the check engine light came on. Called local service and they told me to bring it in but it would take thee weeks to service it. Well, I decided to try a trick to reset the ecu by turning key on and off 5 times waiting exactly thee seconds each turn and the light turned off, problem solved. It might just have been the ecu needed to be reset because of trip. But I'm happy with the bike and KTM. Thankyou
Cameron Irving, El paso, TEXAS -
I have the utmost respect for Todd and his staff. From time of purchase, getting parts and getting service. I recently had an issue with another KTM dealer regarding service performed and brought my bike to Todd for second opinion and service. Was so glad I did. I will not make the mistake of using another dealership in the future. Thanks SLM!
-Anonymous -
I had been searching for a 2022 KTM SXe5 for a little while due to my local dealer not having one in stock. After finding some in-stock that were a bit over priced, I called over to KTM of North Texas and the purchase was seamless. It was an easy buying experience and recommend this dealer if you are searching for a new bike, even if they aren't local to you.
Jeremy Shaw, LIBERTY, MS -
Fast and easy purchase experience. Tons of parts and accessories.
Michael Menou, Natchitoches, LA -
I got my top end the next day ! Thanks SLM
Lee Upton, San Angelo, TX -
The most outstanding bike buying experience ever. Purchased a Husky 501s and Bert made the entire purchasing process super easy. I traveled 5 hours to pickup bike and everything was ready to go in perfect condition. They even added on a few accessories I added after I got there in short fashion. No hidden fees and caring, knowledgeable staff made sure I had everything I needed. I recommend this dealer with 5 stars and I would not hesitate to buy here again.
Chuck Wagner -
My experience with KTM of North Texas/ SLM Racing was over the top. I really like there OTD pricing because you know what you are paying, no hidden fees or extras. I went on a Saturday, which I know is a busy day for them. Bert was my salesman and was working with several customers at a time and some how he had time for everyone. I never felt like I was neglected. Bert did a great job working with everyone that day. Bert got me a great price for the 2023 Husqvarna TE300 I Purchased. I let Bert know I would be there towards the end of the week to pick up the bike, but things changed and I showed up at the door at 10:15 that Monday. I got with Bert and he sprung into action with Shawn in service. Shawn and his staff did a great job at at a moments notice of getting the bike set up and the add-on I purchased installed very quickly. The bike turned out great and I'm very happy with my purchase. Brandy in parts was also friendly and helpful. I talked with other staff members but don't remember there names, but all of the staff at KTM of North Texas was friendly!I highly Recommend KTM of North Texas!!Joe C.

I was on vacation from Illinois and needed some new tires and other parts for my KTM 1290 and Shawn was able to get me taken care of while I waited. I showed up as they opened on a Monday morning without an appointment and was on my way by 12:30. Thank again Shaw and Harley, you saved a day on my eleven-day trip.
Jeff Clark, 1996 n amber prairie, IL -
I recently bought a 23 890 Duke R from Bert and could not be more satisfied with the entire experience. Right back to the era of my word is my bond straight shooting. Bike was ready as promised and never felt rushed. More like talking bikes and life around a campfire with an old friends. This is my second bike purchase from SLM Racing and wont consider buying from any other dealer. Dont hesitate to give these folks a call - top shelf!
Steve Breen, Heath, TEXAS -
You sold and serviced a used 2021 KTM 350 EXC-F Dual Sport to me. I'm a novice but took it out to SE Oklahoma over the Memorial Day weekend for a great ride. I made a YuTube video of the ride - https://youtu.be/OQKOZlfss_k
Edward Holman, Dallas, TX -
From Ted, Bert or Todd nothing but the best customer service. Brandy in parts is awesome and always helpful. Shawn is service is probably the best employee there. Always on top of it and kind. OH AND THE BEST PRICES AROUND.
Ian Ham, Henderson, NV -
Kim North Dallas ROCKS!!!!!!! I put 5 on reviews cause that's as high as u let me.... Amazing KTM shop Brandy Griffith went above and beyond to make us feel right at home, her knowledge and hospitality (shop tour) EVERYTHING was an absolute blast! GOD has laid his hands on this awesome shop!!!!! I will be back again and again from this short drive from lubbock TX!!!!!!! Thank You n God bless Goober Williamson........806-470-2951
Goober williamson, lubbock, TX -
Without a doubt the best motorcycle shop we have ever been to, Todd and Tyler are always more than willing to help you with anything you need, and they never hesitate to cut us some smoking discounts, that's exactly why we drive from Arkansas to see them.
we cannot get deals like that at our local KTM dealership.
And the biggest plus is that they always have everything we need in stock.
if you have not ever been to KTM of North Texas, please give them a try. you will be amazed at their inventory.Shane Macon, ARKANSAS -
Todd & Ted & team made our trip from Denver, Colorado worth every bit! We brought a couple of collector bikes and worked a deal for a brand new 2024 TE300 Pro...could not be any happier with the transaction and the entire KTM/SLM staff. We instantly felt like family. We'll be back! Thanks again! Mike & Valerie
Michael Secor, Evergreen, CO -
Great service overall

They are a fantastic dealer ship I would use them again an again hand down awesome.
Sam nikolopoulos, Mesquite, TX -
Shawn in sales did an outstanding job. He was always available for questions and when he didnt know something, hed go find out. Ive bought a lot of motorcycles over the years. SLM Racing is one of the best Ive dealt with. Honest, not pushy and well informed.
Michael Petti -
I had an excellent experience purchasing a new Super Duke. Really appreciated the transparency in the sales process. Shawn was very helpful throughout the process!
Keith Drennan, Dallas, TEXAS -
Came in to look at the 1290 SAS. Been back and forth between the BMW GS.
Shawn in sales was incredible and was able to get me the best deal possible. No games at all. Best experience I have ever had at a dealership. Everyone in the shop was very helpful.
Ultimately decided on getting the 1290 here knowing that this would be my primary shop for all future services.
I will be recommending this place to all my friends looking for a bike or needing a service.Taylor May, Midlothian, TEXAS -
I live out of town and Shawn made the process so easy! The bike was ready at pick up! Just a great buying experience !
Carrie Nicol, Amarillo, TX -
Everything was very well done couldnt be done any easier
Robert Keith, Fairfiels, TEXAS -
The Best Motorcycle Purchase EVER!Im 70 years old, and have been riding since the age of 15. Ive made so many motorcycle purchases that I have lost count. Ive experienced dealerships that do a good job of taking care of their customers, but SLM is the best hands down. I ask many questions before making a motorcycle purchase, and every one was treated with a thoughtful response. I never felt any pressure to make a purchase. All the staff are very friendly, like they had known me for many years, and we had just spent the previous weekend riding the trails together. Shawn in sales was absolutely fantastic, but I really believe it would not matter who assisted me, this is just the way they do things at SLM.
If you ever had the pleasure of experiencing dealerships that cared, before their practices were hijacked by the big corporate mentality, thankfully there is still SLM!
This is the best way to sum my thoughts up!
Anyone who owns, or works for a motorcycle dealership, should be required to spend time observing how KTM of North Texas (SLM) treats their customers, and works seamlessly as a team, to provide the best experience possible!Thanks To All Of You!

"Man those guys at SLM totally Rock! They got all my stuff race ready and did it like the same day! Todd is the master when it comes to suspension and motor jobs! Why would anyone go anywhere else?"
