As I now have a new job working for Harley Davidson, a couple of guys decided that it wasn't suitable for me to have bikes with stabilisers on them, so I've ended up with this. It's a 2004 Suzuki Marauder GZ125 (I only have a CBT so 125cc is all I'm allowed

)

13k on the clock, been garaged, and well looked after, but sadly not used much over the last few years, so a bit of a freshen up is required in regards to new throttle and choke cables, and the carb needing a clean through, but she rides spot on, and certainly a good bit of fun.

This is as I was given her:

First thing I did was get rid of the pillion seat. Can't carry them anyways, and it looks much better as a solo seat too

All I'll say, is that it is such a bizarre feeling having L plates on again. It just seems wrong.

It won't be long before you graduate to one of these:-

Congratulations on the new job.

Does look better without the pillion.
Why on earth is the bolt that holds the rear wheel guard on, bright red? Looks well out of place! Should be chrome.

That was the bolt that held the pillion seat on. I'm gonna paint it black or get a chrome bolt in there.

Yeah, what I meant as, I just can't imagine for the life of me why they made it bright red in the first place!

No idea. Obviously the previous owner liked it but even I can't fathom why.

Well, I knew it wouldn't be long till I did some more serious modification other than removing the pillion seat, and so yesterday, I took the exhaust system off, cut the old silencer off, and fitted a new one on. It still has a baffle in it, but I am tempted to remove the baffle to see just how much louder and meaner it sounds. It currently sounds a 100 times better, and I can actually be heard now too, so a blip of the throttle when filtering and people move out the way for me

Yes, that is basically just a straight pipe that happens to have a baffle in it
