In case you missed it.Move
your pointer over the two Marauder emblems at the top onf this page.
With only 1,300 miles on it .I do enjoy
riding my bike,but Iam limited to time and mother nature.It seems to
me like it has rained everyday.As I predicted it would the day I bought
it. I only have a few things I would change.
1.I would like the foot pegs a little more forward than what they are.
2.The mirrors are a little too long for me.They just stick out to far.
3.The seat gets kind of hard after a 100 miles or so.
4.No gas gauge gas stop after 150 miles is a must.
5.A tach built into the speedo.
6.A little more ground clearence,on the left side (the kickstand) low
on the left.I like to leeeean.....................
Everything considered I would recommend it to anyone wishing to buy
a bike.
