My Marauder GZ 125

[Icey]

Got it a few weeks ago now, in excellent condition considering the age and only 3800 on the clock when I bought it. (Nearly 4000 now!)

Not everyones cup of tea, but I'm really enjoying it.

Classic colour combo

Unless its a custom chopper, mainstream manufacturers just cant seem to make them look hard enough.

Probike use Maruanders if they dont get on with the CG, does having the feet outstretched make slow speed turning any different?

I don't find slow speed turning a problem, it's a very comfy riding position, more so than the SR I rode on my CBT.

Would love to see how a CBR125 feels compaired to this tho.

My other half is 6ft odd, and he can ride my Marauder without any discomfort. He rode it all the way back from Wales without any problems!

I'm only about 5'6, with short legs so it's good for me

Yeah - tell me about it

I walk upto it and think it looks really good - then I see the 'L' plates and it's crap

Never mind, everyone starts in the same position.

I like the 125 cruisers as they normaly sound pretty good, go pretty well to.

But the best bit is they are so comfy its mental

nice bike, looks much bigger than a 125. Maybe you should get one of those sticky L plates, cut it down to make it smaller and stick it on your front fender. Would prob look better than having it right in the middle of your forks.

At last have found some one that owns a GZ125. What are they like as I have a mate that is on a restricted licence (Muppet wont take his test) and is thinking of buying one of them?

I cannot fault it, it's been superb since I've had it. No problems yet at all.

If you where closer I would have said your welcome to come and have a look and a go, but your miles away!

i just didnt like how it looks in between the forks so i found there to put it. i like the cruiser style bikes a lot though.

[steveh]

youl find they break, get one that sticks on the front fender, and one on a piece of rubber for the back, the wind breaks them, did on mine many times.

good bikes, look after them well, mine ran for around 2 years no probs, they do eat chains, they wheelie, but dont.. just dont.

wach the head covers (crome bits) mine worked loose and i ran over it.

great bikes, learn ALOT on them.

Steve.

well good job i can get chain a bit cheaper off my m8 then.

i know who to come to if i get any problems *touches wood* with it then

[Andrewc2oo5zx...]

i went from a gz125 to a cbr125r and felt like i was about to fall over the front of the handle bars, performance wise tho, there wasnt much in it except for goin round corners
