Marauders :::a group of people that are breaking into your property and stealing stuff or burning down your property to gain access to your stuff
Bought one as my first bike today! Mostly because your great review and content. Thanks man!
i bought mine brand new in 1997. still ride it! still runs better than new. i put a belt drive on it. what an improvement. 5 k on belt so far .awesome.
A marauder is a raiding party (originally on horses), terrorizing the countryside. It's a power thing.
The Maurauder VZ800 is an awesome bike. I bought one as my first bike nearly 5 years ago when I was 25. This past September I was hit by an SUV and the bike was totaled. My life is not the same, not only from the injuries but because I lost the bike I loved so much. I know it is only an 800cc twin, but this model gets up and goes. I have personally raced 883's and left them in the dust, I also raced a couple larger bagger style Harleys and inched ahead of them through my 2nd and 3rd gears (this bike loves 2nd, 3rd and 4th). My bike only had a jet kit and slip on exhaust (impossible to find full kit for the pre 99 models with the rear cyl. exhaust running under the frame) but everyone who rode with me was surprised by just how well it held its own against bigger bikes. Being a mechanic, I took pride in perfectly tuning and synchronizing the dual seperate carbs (one side-stream one down-stream connected by cables) made my own sync tool out of salad dressing bottles, vacuum tubing, a 2x4 and water with food coloring lol. I also did some other work but it was mostly cosmetic. The only real fault I had with this bike was the weak clutch springs, heavy duty springs are cheap and readily available though. I absolutely loved this bike, it was more than a toy to me, it was my main means of transportation 9 months out of the year and something that made me fall in love with motorcycling. I often think/dream about when I will be able to buy another bike and while I feel like I should move up to a big V-Twin I keep finding myself longing for another Marauder VZ800. There is just something about that bike Ioved so much, it had power, handling, looks and never once left me fatigued (I did have a nice mustang seat and highway pegs). One cool thing I liked about the way my bike was setup was with my feet on the highway pegs I could operate the shifter and brake with my heel just by sliding my foot down so the peg was on the ball of my foot not the arch. Nothing felt better than tearing up a windy Ct shoreline road and being able to upshift/downshift with my feet up on the highway pegs. Ug, just thinking about it makes me miss that bike so much :/ Anyways, this is a great bike, whether its your first bike or not.
I had a 04' VZ800 for about 10 years before selling and getting the big brother VZ1600. I put just about every piece of Chrome possible on that 800, added LEDs, rejetted, added a Mustang seat and floorboards. About the only thing I didn't do was the belt conversion. Great bike. I'm really happy though now with the Marauder 1600.
Solid little bike. I had one in my 20s. Did the popular "GS3 rejet" with giant ass pod filters, ground pounder exhaust, and this thing turned into a whole different bike. Probably gained about 10 hp/torque putting it in the 60's for both specs, but at 460lbs it made this little thing fly.
This is my first bike! 💜 She's the best! $1200 😁
That bike is suffering from the usual Marauder short comings. Weak clutch (you can hear it slipping) which can easily be fixed by replacing the clutch springs with stronger ones. Start ups can be challenging due to a MMM being a crappy design. You can bypass the MMM easily and it will fire right up afterwards. If you install the GS3 (Grant's Stage 3 kit) and change the front sprocket you can surpass the 883's easily and keep up with the 1100cc big boys. Great bike for the price. Get two! They are that cheap.
Just picked up one of these as my first bike. Loving it so far.
Just picked an 02 up as my first bike with cobra pipes and new jets...man what awesome bike.
Just bought a 99 Marauder with slash cut exhausts...wow what a sound... this is my fifth bike... (first cruiser) cheers for the vid!
I love your videos!!! I honestly always loved sport bikes until I happened to drive past my 2001 Suzuki Marauder 800 beauty I fell inlove and made it my first bike last summer!! I couldn't be happier with it and I can't wait to get an exhaust system for her this year 👍☺ Keep up the amazing videos!
Just bought a 1999 marauder 800 off a buddy for 300 bucks. It sat in his garage for a few years and needed a bit of work, but it is so much fun. Love it.
Just bought one of these to fix up as my first bike, I can’t wait to get it running and driving
Thank you for the review.
I recently moved across country for uni and watch this video whenever I miss riding my 2000 marauder. Thanks a lot for this vid!
absolutely love the videos, there not near enough motorcycle related tv , lol anyway me seeing this video actually swayed my decision on buying a sweet 01 vz800 13k like new garage kept, i had been sporster shopping, great job i truly enjoyed watchin the review, keep em coming fellas I'll keep watching !
I bought a '99 just a month ago today for just $1000 and now that I've got the charging system sorted out I'm loving it. All in all I've put probably about $1400 into it and the thing came with straight pipes, idk if the jets were done but it sure feels like it. Something I'll have to check out. It's a bit of a hot rod for a first bike but I wouldn't have it any other way. Hell, I had a friend test ride it (big guy, probably around 280lbs) and the thing lifted right up on him when he went into 2nd gear (hence why I'm pretty sure the jets have been done). Guy I bought it off of wanted something to get him to 200mph but I wasn't gonna argue with the price he had it listed for. Thing was a steal. Great vid, and btw, a marauder is actually a looter, a pirate, which I think is pretty cool!
Just got one of these it's a 97 looks great runs amazing got it from a old man for 1200 and it's my first ever bike a. I love it
