I still have my 99 Intruder 1400.

It weigs 260 kg, but it feels lighter. It handles corners like a racing bike.
I will never sell it

Do you want a sport cruiser or a semi-touring bike? This is a great bike - lots of power and great lines. The only drawback is a small gas tank for the size of the motor. It's a good bike for the miles or hauling yourself around....

I've had this bike almost a year & have had no problems so far. I commute on it so reliability is a must. On long rides the stock seat gets a bit old after 7-8 hours. Good power, decent handling and a 'sweet spot' between 70&80 mph make this bike a keeper....

I enjoy riding this bike. Plenty of torque, always at your disposal. Valve adjustments recommended every 4K (drag). Vibration is a little excessive. Upgrade to 6 speed should make cruising more enjoyable (often looking for that extra gear). Did I say, I love riding this bike. Very easy to ride....

I picked 45-55mph back roads through Idaho , Oregon and washington state. This is what this bike is made for. freeway speeds are un-fun on this bike for me. But I had a blast. The bike handles well..has low vibration at 45-60 and was relativley comfortable for an old dude. Great Bike!

I purchased my '99 VZ800X in April'05 with only 1900 kms,(yes,1900)so it was basically still brand new. Since completing a motorcycle course ,6 weeks ago I've racked up 1800 kms(that's about 1100 miles for our friends in the U.S.) and I'm still going strong. I read some reviews from other Marauder owners, and most of what was said is true. Foot controls are too close, and the seat becomes very uncomfortable after about an hour or so, of steady riding. At 6'3" I realize that maybe I should have been looking at bigger bikes, but the looks and styling of the Marauder made it hard to walk away. I catch people checking the bike out whenever I'm at a stop in traffic, and the occassional "nice bike" comments are a bonus too. I love the way this bike rides on the back roads and highways, but I often find myself looking for that extra gear. This bike is deffinately not a corner carver but it makes up for this with its acceleration on the straightaways. No immediate plans for upgrades this summer but over the winter I plan to put on custom foot pegs and possibly a new seat(Mustang ?) to raise the comfort level a little. I can't see myself trading in this bike for anything else anytime soon.

I just bought a used 1999 Marauder and only gone about 50 miles. The only previous riding experience I've had was about 30 minutes on an old 125 Honda dirt bike, so you could basically say I have never ridden before. This bike is sweet! It has more than enough power for a beginner but is still not too torquey or jerky. When you get on it you better hang on cause you'll be at 70mph in a heartbeat. Mine has Cobra straight pipes, the mirrors have been moved to the end of my handlebars, and the front signals are relocated to the frame next to the radiator. To sum it up in three words: Too Much Fun!

I was hesitating between the fatty looks of the Yamaha V Star, and the exceptional looks of the Intruder. No regrets the Intruder 1400, has the looks ,the power , and draws attention and best part less than half price if compared to American mfg. People actually stop and ask who's the mfg of that bike .The only sad part is the Gas tank, but it is worth it ,I am so happy I chose the Suzuki Intruder ...

The Suzuki Bandit is without a doubt the best bike you can buy for the dollar. I've ridden freinds' bikes that were newer and more expensive, but the Bandit 1200 really shines for value. If you are not a track racer and you're not into obese cruisers, then this is probably the bike you're looking for. I bought mine used and had it for over a year now. It has 22,000 miles and is going strong. This winter, I did all the maintenance to it myself: changed fork seals, brakes, set valve lash, new plugs, and new K&N. She's fast enough to ride with my buddies with R1's and Hayabusa's, and tame enough to ride to work and tour on. I rode her 1500 miles to the coast and back last summer and it was a real blast! You can spend more money, but you cannot find a better performing, more reliable, economical and enjoyable motorcyle on the market.

I am well pleased with my Intruder! This is one of the cleanest and sharpest looking v twins on the road. Nice factory paint and dripping with chrome, I can park it next to any v twin cruiser out there and walk away grinning while they gape and wonder why they bought overpriced "american iron". Though I havn't done any custom work to it (yet), and its 4 years old, it sits there and looks brand new and shiny. Sadly though, it's hard to find accessories for it. The only thing I find wrong with it is for my height I wish the seat was about 2 inches farther back. Never fear though, I have found a custom chopper kit and solo seat that will solve the seat problem and trick this already awsome bike into a truly unforgettable one.
