Default First Bike!

So, I met up with a guy who posted a Marauder 800 on craigslist. Immaculate condition, 1998, 8k miles. Wanted 3200. We are doing the papers on monday.

I drove it around a bit (he was really nice) and it felt just right. It balances perfect, fits my body perfect, comfy seat. Enough power to move me easily but not so much it would get me into trouble unless I looked for it. Very even power delivery and control. Felt more stable than the bikes I used for the MSF class.

Color is Red and Cream. Lots of crome.
