  • Looking for a cheap cruiser? Let’s look at the Suzuki Marauder 800 I will be brutally honest in my review of this bike. It’s a used bike from way back to 1997 it’s very basic, but it sounds nice and very comfortable.
    If your interested in this bike then follow the link to ‪@in2moto480‬ www.in2moto.co...
    They have a small collection of cruisers so if you don’t want this one have a look at other options. Hopefully I will get to try them all soon.
    Thanks to ‪@OxfordProductsLtd‬ as always. I love their clothing range and will continue to tell everyone how good they are.

    Definitely would say the Marauder 800 is a great motorcycle to buy when you're on a budget. Bought mine last year as my first bike and its been reliable the entire time, seat is comfortable to longer rides and overall completely happy with purchasing one. Loved the video!😁

      Thanks for that. I think these bikes are not given the love they deserve. Really underrated bikes in the Uk. They are so much better than people think they are.

    You can get a used Triumph Speedmaster 800 for £5000, sometimes less, these days. In fact, you can get a used Harley Sportster for under £5000, too.

    • @GillyBikes
      @GillyBikes  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s very true. They have a used Harley and a Speedmaster in the same garage. Both good options. I’ve been out on their used Harley. They have a 1200 Sportster. Sounds amazing.

    10:1 compression, 2spark plugs plus 4 valves per jug. You a set a Vance and Hines, port the carb correctly and this bike can be a screamer. The gears are long but would be better if it were a 6 speed. I'm 6'1 340lbs my marauder would get up to 90mph cruising speed,

    • @GillyBikes

      This one was a bit rough and lacking power. It went through the workshop and working fine now.

  • @KevinFreist

    this bike model has two different carbs on one engine. front is a down draft , rear is a side draft. the sycro cable setup is easily messed up and it took me a few leaning curves to master. in my video , the bike is being started with new fuel in an auciliary tank hanging on right side. carbs were dry from last run before storing. i ran them dry .then drained bowls. after 5 minutes it was back to its old self. runs just perfect. rich/ lean happy zone is tricky on these multi carb setups especialy when they jet differently to achieve same air fuel mix through range. i didn't do a vid on me getting it tight as i was focused on the task and not recording. but , it is a good set up once it is tuned and synced for intake and exhaust. this one will wind up and never miss a cylinder. i do have it biased to rich mix. don'tneed to burn it up. it is almost antique now!

    I've had my 2000 for years but thankfully in blue :) . Those pops sound off, maybe new plugs or carb cleaning? Sounds off and not as zippy through gears (though in the rain you're not going to push as hard obviously). It's not a beast, but not a slouch either, and a great choice imo to get a nice bike on a budget to get into your mid size cruisers.

    The suzuki 800vs is not a slow engine. If it's popping and sputtering,... then it's in major need of a carb clean and tune up. Hope you let the bike shop know that they need to pull finger and sort their shit out !

    • @GillyBikes
      @GillyBikes  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes it was disappointing. It was fixed straight after. I think it had been stood for a long time prior to it arriving in the shop. Hopefully I will get a go on another one at some point so I can see how they should perform.

      I think this one needed a bit of fixing. When I gave it some there was lots of noise and not a lot else going on. They fixed it when I got back and then they sold it so I never got to have a go when it was working properly. If I see another one I will definitely take it out.

    nice video. good perspective. y/t will never send my vids your way but if you tap my thumbnail in comments , go to my channel and see my 1997 Marauder 800. this bike is outstanding and underrated. has been detuned and has much potential from suzuki. i up tuned mine , added some tayloring for me long legs and arms. made a sest and made a belt drive." scoot works" is garbage. i used what i could find. wasn't expensive either. it's down now for fork seals and tires and rust in taaank. bad fuel. still runs like a bull.not slow any more . it hangs with my buddies 103 dyna.only carb and exhaust work and final drive. not slow at all. wheel up in 2nd gear. hopefuly soon , i'll get her all rehabed . atleast no more chain maintenance!lol😆
    go see it. also have a Kawasaki 1995 vn 800 and 2002 hd duece w twin camm 88, 1974 bmw R90S. the marauder is only one i bought new.i grew up on a farm with a stable full of horses. i hated that crap! now i have a stable full of bikes!!!😁😂🤣
