Found 2 beginner bikes - need (relatively) expert advise!

[icearrowx]

1994 KAWASAKI Vulcan VN750 (blue) - $2,999
or
2001 Suzuki Marauder (blue) - $2,999

Its a hard choice for me considering they both have the same price, but most of you probably have a valuable opinion on this one.

[BlueBomber]

What kind of miles on each? What condition each? What accessories each?

If all other things are the same, I'd go Marauder only because it's newer.

I don't know, thay both look hot, hot, hot.

1994 Kawasaki Vulcan 750


2001 Suzuki Marauder

(these arn't the actual bikes themselves)

[Fast Eddy B]

Big question, why does a 1994 bike and a 2001 bike of similar style/capacity have similar asking prices? These must be negotiable, and then you'll find out the real deal.

One's got crash damage? Good/bad service history? Seller with inflated sense of worth?


Good luck.

Whichever fits you better.

Im not a custom, kinda guy but the Suzuki seems to be a better looking more modern machine, with its inverted forks and better looking wheels,
the kawi looks a little dated.

I've got the 01 Volusia, which is the marauder's brother, and I like it! Works great for me, plus it's newer, so it'll probably have less problems...

It seems like ppl are leaning more towards the marauder, i think i agree, its newer, more powerful, really good price, and its being sold by a dealership that i know and respect. thanks for the input guys.
