NPA Expands Southwest Operation with Industry Veteran Nick Kister

Formerly the retail sales manager for Motorwheels and the GM for Corse Dynamics, Nick is adept at finding new markets, creating products and product demand, and implementing the means to bring products to market.

National Powersport Auctions (NPA) is expanding, again. Dealers in Utah, Nevada and Northern California are now being called on by industry veteran Nick Kister. He will reside in Northern California in order to be closer to his dealers and reports to VP of Sales Mike Murray at NPA’s San Diego headquarters.

Formerly the retail sales manager for Motorwheels and the GM for Corse Dynamics, Nick is adept at finding new markets, creating products and product demand, and implementing the means to bring products to market. “I started as a parts specialist for Good Times Motorsports in 2007 and have grown with the industry in both retail and wholesale as a general manager and business owner.”

“Nick’s combination of expertise and enthusiasm make him uniquely qualified as a Regional Sales Manager for NPA,” says Murray. “He has experience both at the dealership level and as a sales manager for an international supplier. His diverse background and understanding of the motorcycle industry will prove beneficial when explaining the increased revenue opportunities available to dealers utilizing NPA’s suite of services.”

“NPA runs like a well-tuned race bike,” adds Kister. “I am motivated to assist dealers in expanding their pre-owned business.” He has come a long way since his first 1988 Honda Z50R, and is no less enthusiastic about motorcycles. “I currently ride a Harley XR 1200 and have a Ducati 848 as a dedicated track bike.”
