Default Think I found the bike I want... bike guys input? :D

1999 Suzuki Marauder 804cc - $1700 (I might be able to get it lower too...)


Suzuki Marauder with 15,250 miles on it new plugs and battery last year, just changed oil and adjusted carbuerator so running smooth. Aftermarket pipes sound good but too loud for my neighnorhood - lowered for chopper look - Good Deal !





I think it's good

Looks nice man, any chance you can get it checked out by a mechanic first, just for assurance?

Looks great from those pics and the specs look pretty decent too!

I'd buy it

I was actually gonna buy an 01 Volusia instead of the my GS when I had it.. Intruder, Marauder, Volusia, Savage.. and now the Boulevard. Solid line of bikes.

I don't know much about Suzuki cruisers, but when I go back to cruisers I will be looking into the Honda Aero 750.

The fun thing about them is the carbs are REALLY adjustable. Just buy some new jets and you have a better system.

I would buy the dick out of that bike



Canada, if you get the first bike, please for the love of god put the stock pipes back on. Whenever I see a guy with a loud-ass twin I just want to run him off the road

v twins generally don't rev very high, hence the lack of hp... solid torque though
