Bad Points

A little on the slow side, 5th gear is a cruise gear.


General Comments

Well, where's to start? I've had my baby Suzuki Marauder for over 6 months now, and its gone quick! I shall start on the ride I think, for its the most important part of being a cruiser (In my opinion). The seating position is probably one of the best out there for the 125cc market, I've been on a 120 mile round trip on mine and didnt end up with a numb bum like on my old scooter. You sit within a relaxed reach of the handle bars, your legs are snug in position on the pegs, and that means changing gears and breaking isnt a strain. The cornering is easy as it is a light bike, and I've had it down to the pegs (by accident), which I guess means I was confident enough to have mistakenly done so. The only down side I can think of is the engine, I know it is only a 125cc, but it can get to 40 really quick, then thereafter it looses its initial "Umph", and when you hit just over 50 its time to use 5th gear, which doesn't pull at all, as its more of a cruising gear.
To sum up, its got great cruiser looks, its cheap from new and second hand, makes a good commuter, the longer journies will take a while due to low top speed, but its great value for money and will be a good step for learner riders.
(Side Note: My father has a "125cc" Marauder, tho this I belive is an import model as the clock is in km/h, the diffrences are subtle, tho it has a larger oil reserve, and has a bigger looking engine, and this can do 60mph comfortably, so it would seem from my experience, that the import version has a bit more poke).
