Exclamation Comments sought!

I have the opportunity to buy a used 2004 Suzuki Maurader 1600 and I need advice from anyone familar with the bike. Tell me about it; is it a good bike? Any problems to look for? Are they a good value? Reliable? Do they have any power? Compared to what? Is it an M95 or is that different?

I am a little familar with the Kawasaki Meanstreak but never heard of Suzuki's version of it before.

Thanks in advance! Sam

I think other than cosmetically the bike is a Mean Streak.

Isn't that one of those projects where Suzuki and Kawasaki collaberated?

The Maurader 1600 and the M95 are the same bike and they are built by Kawasaki. Other than cosmetics it is the same bike as the Meanstreak 1600. I have an M95 that is almost 2 years old and I have had now issues with it. It is powerful, comfortable (except for the Pillon) but a aftermarket seat fixes that, good looks, handles well. I have no complaints I have over 13,000 miles on mine and not one issue with the bike so far. At least related to the no aftermarket items.
It should complement the rest of your stable nicely.
