What are these bikes like for reliability and performance and all that?
I quite like the look of them actually - https://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&q=%2Bmarauder%2B800&sa=N&tab=wi

Does anyone know the spec of them? mpg, top speed, 0-60 etc?

cheers

Rarely are cruisers made for 'performance'.

So, if you're bothered by speed and acceleration it probably isn't such a great choice.

I've got a marauder 125, and if it has anything near the quality of finish as my bike, I wouldn't bother.

IMO there are better choices for a cruiser out there. Marauders are also nicely underpowered.

A better bike is the Suzuki Intruder. Wink

The V-twin of the two, i too have a marauder (not for long..piece of cr@p)

The intruder is more comfy, faster, and has a better build quality, oh and it looks bigger, but im not sure how this would relate to the larger machines.

built to a price, not a standard.
