Todd Tarver

Todd founded Straight Line Motorsports, LLC in 2002, initially focusing on motorcycle setup for the local off-road community, along with maintenance and trackside support for racing events. The business quickly expanded to include service, parts, accessories, and pre-owned unit sales.

 

In 2011, Straight Line became a franchised KTM dealership, operating as KTM of North Texas. Since then, it has grown into one of the top-volume KTM dealers in the United States, recognized for its unmatched inventory of on-hand parts to support off-road racers and riders. In 2021, the dealership added Husqvarna and GasGas lines, followed by an expansion into e-bikes in 2022.

 

In April 2024, Todd and his business partner acquired Honda and Kawasaki dealership operations in Arlington, Texas, now operating as Powersports of North Texas, doing business as Honda of Arlington and Kawasaki of Arlington. They also acquired franchise rights for the Kayo brand.

 

Todd looks forward to the opportunity to serve on the NPDA Board of Directors, helping to grow membership and support dealers in strengthening their businesses and the industry as a whole.
