History:
Hudson Valley Motorcycle opened its doors for
business in 1966, founded by Richard Alexander Sr., the shop
featured Kawasaki and Suzuki motorcycles. The original location was
in Ossining NY on North Highland Ave, just a short distance from our current location. In 1967 Hudson Valley
Motorcycle moved to North State Road in Briarcliff Manor where it
remained until 1970. Rich added Norton Motorcycles to the line up in
1967 followed two years later by BSA and Ossa motorcycles. From 1970 to 2006, Hudson Valley Motorcycle was located at 86 Millwood Rd (Rt.
133) in Millwood NY. The
current location is only 5 miles from Millwood, having returned to Ossining again! Still only 10 minutes north of White Plains, 35 minutes from New York City, and close
to Briarcliff, Peekskill, Chappaqua, Mt. Kisco, Millwood, Thornwood, and Pleasantville.

by his two sons; Duane and Rich Jr.. Duane manages the sales
department of the dealership, which consists of Kawasaki and Suzuki
motorcycles, atv’s, and Kawasaki Mule utility vehicles. Rich Jr. is
