suzuki

[steveh]

im just wondering if theres any restrictions on a suzuki marauder gz 125?
and were are they?

there abit sluggish up hills, and im wanting to make it pull away abit faster too, not really botherd about top-end speed as its just a run-around.

No restrictions, its just a slow, heavy 4-stroke 125.

Pass your test and buy something with a bigger engine.

You could change the gearing to sacrifice a bit of top end for better acceleration.

Although everyone comes out with the jibe of "get a bigger bike" it's really not a bad idea, live with the suzuki for a year or whatever, and get a cheap 400 or something similar.

Yep, my plan exactly, at collage atm , should be going to uni so will get a bigger bike then, not really into the sporty side of the bikes, but my old man mite let me "borrow" his 850 norton commando

Nortons were sporty enough in thier day Robert Dunlop won a good lot on his.

yeah goot machines, its a N reg (1973) and its done about 2500 miles, but old mans got a dodgy leg at the moment and doesnt have the power to kick it over, poor old sod

i do like the new 2004 model Nortan 850, mix between the old cafe racers
