maurader 800

suzuki maruader 800 2003 w/8,000 miles. for $4100, sound like a good beginner bike? it fits me pretty well and has custom pipes that are nice and loud and thunderous. only thing I dont like about it is that I Really wanted to get onto a bike for $2500 or less.

Doesn't sound like a bad deal. Be sure to check the tires. At 8,000 miles they probably only have 1,000-2,000 left on them and you may be able to negotiate $250.00 off the price for that alone.

In any case, good luck!

I'm just having a little trouble justifying paying more for my first bike than my car is currently worth, when I wont be able to use the bike at least 75% of the year. its either raining or snowing here or just too cold.
but I guess thats where the decision ultimately comes....

You can ride in the rain. Besides the bike is way more fun than a cage.

Or at least any cage that's worth under $4,000.

Whether it's worth it or not is entirely up to you. There are certainly good deals out there for less money. If you don't think you'll be riding 75% of the year (where do you live, Alaska?) then perhaps a nice 80's UJM or a used Ninja 500R would be a good choice. Just be sure to get something mechanically simple since it will spend so much time in cold storage.

That's a hell of a deal . I got out the door after wheeling and dealin' for $4900 and a little change on a 1996 Suzuki Intruder with 8742 miles on it and I love my ride . Course it's fully customized now .
And my Spousette got a 2000 Suzuki Marauder for about the same amount of money and she loves her scoot too . It was low milage as well .

Actually sounds like a pretty good deal on that marauder.
