I dunno what model harley it looks like,
BUT...

I pulled up beside a 110 ci sportster last night, and he gave me the nod.
When the lights turned green, all the noise was his, but I was miles in front!.

could be, but was he racing ya?

There is no way that our 50ci 805 cc 45 hp, is going to be more powerful than any 110 ci.

The only suzuki bike that I think resembles any harley is the m109r which to me is sort of a rip on the vrod. Compare the rear tires and exhaust.

If you got the M50 Limiter you wouldn't have to debadge it. I think they look like a softail.

Nico · 08-17-2007, 04:40 PM

Mine is fully de-badged now, and I get the occasional "what kind of Harley is that?" from the uninitiated. If you don't know a thing about bikes they are kinda similar to the softtails, kinda.

I just tell them it's a: "Hardly Davidson, you can tell because it's running and the oil's on the inside!" then laugh.

The other day my buddy and I strapped his night train and my M50 down on the trailer side by side, I had the back seat off of mine, he said " man those bikes look a lot alike".

bigger front wheel on the night train but has very similar lines...

get some down turned pipes and a big front wheel and they would be pretty close

also if you'd put a c50/volusia tank on there it would be even closer.

Low&Slow · 08-17-2007, 05:38 PM

Yeah, I just order the forward control and lowering kits for mine, I think I may change my handle bars to drag bars and if possible the risers to round ones.

Looks more like a Marauder then an M50. But yes, I agree it has very similar lines to both bikes.

womper · 08-17-2007, 10:19 PM

isn't the m50 the new marauder?

SNAFU · 08-17-2007, 10:47 PM

Yes and no.

You had to twist the left hand grip to shift gears.

We got it used.

Thanks for the pic, brought back some memories.

DocStark · 01-03-2008, 04:46 PM

hey snafu, aint that the older m90

SNAFU · 01-04-2008, 01:27 AM

, your right. I suppose the "Suzuki" plate should have given it away. Pic. properties say it's a 2004 Marauder 1600.

DocStark · 01-04-2008, 04:08 PM

i could just imagine what type of look they would have for that bike, if they wouldve kept it around

SNAFU · 01-04-2008, 07:36 PM

It would have looked like this?

DocStark · 01-04-2008, 08:22 PM

....ill git knowledge beat into me one of these days

Interestingly enough, no 2008 model listed on the H-D website.

digitalbroccoli · 01-07-2008, 02:23 PM

oh look, its the B king. Kinda.

Its amazing how those "radical" ideas that everyone seems to have sort of look like everyone elses radical ideas.

JmalB · 01-08-2008, 06:49 AM

Looks nothing like a B-King to me...

SNAFU · 01-08-2008, 02:45 PM

The headlight looks closer to the M109R2.
