According to TheStreet, dealership group Motos America filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on December 31, 2025, in the District of Utah. Known for its focus on premium European brands, primarily BMW and Triumph, the company operates a network of 13 premium motorcycle dealerships across states including California, Florida, Oregon and Utah.
Vance Harrison — we profiled his original dealership Harrison EuroSports back in the December 2018 issue: https://issuu.com/dealernews/docs/9102-1545589843/19 — formed Motos America via a reverse merger in late 2021 and expanded its vertical footprint in early 2024 through the acquisition of New Start Financial, LLC, a subsidiary providing in-house financing for its retail customers. Several landmark dealership acquisitions, including Cascade in Portland and Tampa Triumph followed, as well as the more recent launch of Santa Monica Triumph.
TheStreet cites RK Consulting for the Chapter 11 announcement: “The filing follows a period of severe liquidity distress after the company lost a $3 million deposit to Prime Capital Ventures in an alleged fraud scheme that halted a planned $15 million credit facility,” reported RK Consulting.
Operational challenges were compounded by the SEC revoking the company’s securities registration in late 2024 due to delinquent financial filings. “Motos America also cited high inventory financing costs and the failure to secure a $12M financing round as factors leading to the restructuring,” added RK Consulting.
