I´ve been riding my 2001 Marauder for 3 months now. Mostly positive things to say.

 
  I´ve put about 2000 miles on my Marauder in the little time that I´ve had it. I´ve done regular maintenance (which I can´t validate was done prior), and the bike has been great. The stock seat is a bit uncomfortable, so the previous owner replaced all the foam inside it. I´m 6´ tall and find the bike reasonably comfortable. I have a rough time getting my food around the brake lever, so it is rubbing a spot in my boots. The bike is very powerful, and has a fair amount of torque. I will soon be replacing my front sprocket to gain some fuel economy. The bike works pretty hard (high RPM) over 60mph. Adding a tooth or two to the front sprocket should help. I get non-stop comments on the bike´s looks. I would highly recommend this bike.
