I bought my 2000 Marauder at the end of 99. I have only put about 8,500 miles on it but I absolutely love it. I ride it every chance I get. Its the first motorcycle I have ever had and I was 33 when I bought it. It rides and runs perfectly. I have never had a problem with it and don't expect any. I service it every three thousand miles and wash it endlessly. I think its a very sharp bike and it does'nt bother me if Suzuki discontinues it because that will only make it a classic sooner. I'm not ever going to part with it. I may eventually have another bike to go with it, but I don't think I could ever bear to be without it. Its bulletproof and I get compliments on it everywhere I go. I put an engine guard, cobra drag pipes and a nice windshield and Marauder studded saddlebags on it. It is coooool. :twisted:
