It's a Suzuki Intruder (ho ho). 125 or 250cc. The Marauder was the cheaper single cylinder model.
It's wrong, I know, but I quite like it too ____________________ Chris

Yeah I noticed that last night too. The subtle styling differences make all the difference. Ruddy beautiful for a 125 ____________________ CBR600 F3 FV

Those who mock cruisers should have a go on one. The small ones, at least, can be quite pleasant little things to amble around on.
I was one of the scoffers until I owned a little Honda Rebel 250. Quite unexpectedly I loved it, although I was less keen on the vibration the engine churned out. I did also catch myself admiring my reflection in a shop window once ____________________ Chris

I never really used to mock them.
But having ridden a Harley from Vegas to the Grand Canyon and another from San Fran to LA, I can safely say I wont be buying a cruiser style bike ever.
Heavy, boring, uncomfortable, slow, shook me to death blah blah blah...
Perhaps the Jap tiddlers are a different breed, but leaning back feels so unnatural anyway. So nooooo thank you. ____________________ The mistresses: 2000 Honda CBR600f, 2000 Honda VTR1000 |

Ever since I bought a ''Superbike'', everything that is not purposely made sports motorcycle feels unstable, underpowered (both engine and brakes) and wobbly. The moment I buy a ZX10R, I won't turn back. Don't take me wrong, I still like classic motorcycles and I will buy one again, but not as my no. 1 motorcycle.
The worst thing I've ever been on, was FMX 650. I've never felt so much lack of confidence on a motorcycle before. You know the wheels are there on the tar and that the brakes will slow you down eventually, but you (I) had no idea of what was going on under me, no feedback from the wheels what so ever.
So, I doubt I'd like a cruiser, although I've never been on one and the moment I get a chance, I will have a go, just to know what I'm ''missing''. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Simple answer, learn to control your throttle hand In this country, on the kind of roads where the landscape is worth slowing down to admire, a cruiser is the last thing I'd want to be on. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
