Guest's review of Suzuki GZ 125 Marauder

“good bike maintain it yourself”

★★★★☆

written by on 02/09/2012

ok the gz125 where do i start i have had 2 of these bikes and i find them great i am 5 foot 10 inches 11 stone so i fit perfectly on this bike anybody taller should look for a honda cg125.
i thing i should point out about these bikes is that if you are a beginner like i was you have to get dirty with this bike and learn how to maintain it.
leave it over winter it will turn to rust so keep it coverd in acf50 and regular washes.
the front brakes need looking at you have to learn quick with this bike or they will seize if you have a pressure washer this will help clean out the calipers
winter will rust this bike if you dont have it garaged
i got a service manual and learned all the basics so to keep this little mouse roarer from squaking and grinding
i have traveled from yorkshire to edinburgh and just came back from a camping trip from pitlochry back to edinburgh and about a month ago went to fort william back to edinburgh so this little bike can tour along with the big bikes only much slower saying that get going to pert from edinburgh and you can get to 70mph with the wind behind you but comming back isnt so much fun full out in fourt at 50mph ha ha think dumb and dumber on the monkey bike.
but thats where i am with this bike done my cbt a year ago and need t5o move on to bigger bikes.
for the street this bike is great suzuki delerships are not avoid them and try to find a good garage and look after the bike yourself.
ok not really a great review but i am here to help anyone thats needs advice on this bike so after readinging the average fuel consumption of the gz125 is 85mpg can anyone give there take on this as i have had 2 gz125 and they havent lived up to the quote from a motorbike article i read .
any input would be helpfull for all gz125 owners let us know what you are average is
