presentation of the VZ 800 MARAUDER 2000
derived from the old 800 Intruder, the Marauder is distinguished by its long upside-down forks, Low Rider aesthetic and large spoked wheels. Equipped in this way, this admirable custom becomes even meaner, giving it a little taste of dragster. The result is a real success story. At very low speeds, the Suzuki's steering is somewhat handicapped by its big tires. Otherwise, it's a pleasure to ride around town. The low center of gravity and seat position help to make this machine light to ride. As with all custom bikes, the riding position is characterized by the feet well forward, but without exaggeration on the Marauder. The chassis is sound on good roads, but you'll have to do without the comfort and protection, which are very limited, as is the ground clearance. We'd rather play with the engine's suppleness and joviality once up to speed. Rather powerful for its class, this twin allows you to enjoy riding the Suzuki for a very reasonable price.

I DRIVE IT A LITTLE TODAY(34000km)
It's a good machine in terms of quality and price. It's a bit of a "tire eater"; fuel consumption (5L/100), pleasant to drive; Rating : 5/5 Respond to FRANPAN
i think I just need to change the pot (see on ébay) to make it a bit more "viril\". Rating : 3/5 Respond to gregor
