That should be a sweet ride. A friend has an earlier version that is loaded for bear. It is neat to crack the throttle on these shaft drive bikes because the whole thing lifts, unlike our chain drives. And it is even neater to have the front tire up though three gears. His is a 1200. If the weather comes around he asked me to ride it at the track this week (1/4 mile).I picked up a 2001 Suzuki Marauder 805 don't have any pics yet but I will post some later when I get some

..don't you mean, Just Yankin yer Drive Sha....".....yeah, not going to finish that one. :spit:just yankin yer chain man.
I disagree with you about the "less skill", the throttle is more sensitive, the power is harder to manage and they are WAY less forgiving than the 650's. I put over 40,000 miles on my 650 and i cant tell you from experience that the 600SS is a whole different world. JMHOMove from a 650R to a 600 SS and it requires less skill to ride at the same speeds so folks end up going faster which increases risk.
Diavel? thats funny.My nickname online used to be "Diavol" for Devil in russian (i'm russian). Spelled out phonetically obviously...don't you mean, Just Yankin yer Drive Sha....".....yeah, not going to finish that one. :spit:
Have fun with that Marauder, those are awesome motorcycles! I'll admit, the cruiser thing HAS crossed my mind more than once. When does the Ducati Diavel come out again? :FIREdevil
a 2001 marauder is 800cc and chain-driven.That should be a sweet ride. A friend has an earlier version that is loaded for bear.

Be safe.
I was mostly referring to cornering skill, not throttle control.I disagree with you about the "less skill", the throttle is more sensitive, the power is harder to manage and they are WAY less forgiving than the 650's.
