I might be getting a Marauder 1600 tomorrow.......

RVertigo · April 21, 2007, 12:20:30 AM

We'll see though...

I'm not really sure it's a smart thing to do, 'cause I'd have to finance it... But... I WANT!!!!

spc · April 21, 2007, 01:11:56 AM

Those are SWEET!!!!!! That's what I would wan't if i was getting a cruiser

RVertigo · April 21, 2007, 10:19:54 AM

Probably be $200/Month for 36 months at 7.something% interest...

I want it!

spc · April 21, 2007, 10:24:35 AM

Not bad........... but I'd wait til the dealer has one of those promotions where you only pay $89 for the first 3 years and save the cash that you didnt pay those 3 years to pay it off at the promotion end

I have a friend that did that with a C109

Alphamazing · April 22, 2007, 06:34:53 PM

f%$k the Marauder.

You need an M109R.

yamahonkawazuki · April 22, 2007, 06:44:07 PM

ehhh hmm, a 109 ill never get, why , damn good bike, plenty fast but set is WIDE. unless youve got a large inseam, then youll have trouble flatfooting it

RVertigo · April 22, 2007, 09:32:23 PM

It's not rebadged... It was actually a dual thing, I guess...

Marauder 1600 and the Mean Streak are the same bike... Except for a few things, like the rear fender and a couple badges... I actually just found that out today and though it was really funny... 'cause I was trying to decide between a Mean Streak and a Marauder.

SAME DAMN BIKE!

And, while I love the M109R, I can't have one... Too much $$$.

I'm picking the bastard up tomorrow!!! I'm not getting shaZam! done at work. HA HA HA HA

As far as the 5 speed... Something tells me that with 1600cc I won't need a 6th gear.

Oh... 650 lbs? Yeah... It's heavy... But, its low center of gravity makes it not as bad.

I think I came up with a good name for it... "The Bastard!"

Yup. Suzuki and Kawasaki do that for a few other bikes as well. The DR-Z are the same as the KLX models of same displacement, the RM-Z250 is the same as the KX250F, not sure about the two-strokes though. They also share ATV platforms.

Awesome

I'm wavering on the should I finance line.........something tells me not to, but that little voice in my head with the roaring Duc/Termi setup in the background is pretty convincing

RVertigo · April 22, 2007, 10:11:43 PM

Well, considering I bought my 2001 GS with 12k miles on it for only three digits...... I figured I could get soaked on financing.

I want it to be tomorrow right NOW!!!!!

spc · April 22, 2007, 10:31:50 PM

HaHa..have fun tommorow

I wan't it to be this summer NOW.....so I can reup and blow all my bonus money

I'm stupid, I know, but i'm gonna be stupid FAST too

there's a black 919r somewhere screaming my name

RVertigo · April 23, 2007, 10:54:36 AM

DUDE!

Those goddamnmotherf%$kers at Renton Motorcycles sold the f%$king thing after I left!!!!!!! It was MINE... I just needed the financial paperwork to come though first thing in the morning and they f%$king sold it. f%$k!!!!!

The motherf%$king sales guy didn't say there was any potential that they'd f%$king sell it! It was mine godf%$kingdamnit!!!

I'm gonna go cry now.

Turd Ferguson · April 23, 2007, 11:00:10 AM

Wow, sold out from under you? Did they know you were coming back to buy it? That's BS!

RVertigo · April 23, 2007, 11:13:50 AM

I wasn't coming back to buy it... I f%$king BOUGHT IT!!!! I just needed the bank to send the check!

f%$k!!!!!!!!!

Well, at least I'll be saving $200/Month... YAY!

Jace009gs · April 23, 2007, 11:33:30 AM

Did you put any down payment on it before you left that morning?......

spc · April 23, 2007, 12:24:19 PM

Hurray for @$$hole Dealerships

Jake D · April 23, 2007, 12:41:09 PM

You should buy a KTM Super Duke instead. I wouldn't make fun of you at all.

Or spend $5k on a Star.

I feel like a moron, but I honestly didn't think I needed to... If the sales guy told me I need to secure the bike, I would have.....

$5k on a Star? What, a 650? BOOOO!
