Hi From the Midlands UK

Hi guys and first things first, Happy New year Guys !

Thought I'd join the Forum as I'm currently on the lookout for a Marauder and what better place to become a member ( Not just to find a Ride ! ) Nice to see what other riders have done to their rides and maybe meet a few members once i'm on the road.  Ridden bikes of all types since I was 15 and after having to sell my last ride ( Forgive me for this )
an '02 Blade, but hey a rides a ride right ! Need to slow myself down a little before I do myself an injury and have always wanted a cruiser and the time is right for me to be looking for the summer.

Welcome mate.

Finally someone relatively close to me haha :)

Enjoy the forum, ton of knowledge here and friendly people all around.

Hi Ian   Enjoy the forum and good luck with your search for a Marauder  

Hi Guys and thanks ! Already have my eye on a 2006 Model hoping it's still in the shop when I get the money this month.

Hi Ian from Plymouth. Just sold my CBR600 and bought my M800. Good luck with your search and welcome to the forum    

welcome Ian, great choice of bike. Lots of us on here have ridden out whole lives on a real assortment of bikes & love the Intruders. Its nice to have a laid back style of bike that will still do the business when asked to. lots of friendly riders on here and knowledge when required.
Enjoy whatever new ride you get & enjoy the site.

Hi Ian, and a Happy new Year to you,   this is an excellent forum with many good people on it and smart bikes, plus plenty of knowledgable folks to help you, enjoy your new ride when you get it, regards Doc Cox.  

Hello mate and   
Good luck in your search. Dealers have to work harder for sales in the winter so hopefully you'll get what you want at a good price

Cheers Mal.
The one I'm looking at is a 2006 with 4 thou on the clock and he's asking £3,800 for it. As I'm going in with Hard pennies i'll see how  £3,500 sounds to him. fingers Crossed he's still got it when I get my money!

If you're looking at the one I'm looking it's quite nice, but stock.
Not much of a description, no indication when tax and mot runs out. Watch out for these.

Apart from windshield you're not getting much in terms of extras...well apart from that naked chick on the tank :}
I reckon there should be better deals to be had. 

Extend your search to VL perhaps?

Sounds like it is Marcin ! I'm keeping my eyes open until I've got the  pennies, if something else better turns up that one will be off the list !

Take your time...best money spent is money spent wisely.

All the best!

Welcome Ian to an excellent resource of information and will.

Nice looking bike your looking at there    Good quality screen, sissy bar and rear rack, Best colour too!  

This bike seems a bit pricey for a 2006 model even at £3500, If you have cash wouldn't you be better off buying private? You would get a later model and more for your cash than you would from a dealer, a dealer may offer you a warranty but these are usually worthless. Good luck whichever way you go.

Thanks for the responses guys, Lowey, problem is there aren't that many private sellers out there at the moment and compared to a lot of other dealer bikes, the Mileage/Age/Pricing seems pretty fair to me, and its the model I've been looking for with shorter fenders and Alloys.

I got a 2013 stock for 5k

Alfie, you're gonna get me in trouble with my Mrs !   Bloody good price tho'

Welcome matey, take your time buying your bike, tbh these bikes are pretty much bullet proof so the things to look for are cosmetic standard, extra's and accident damage but in general they are well looked after by owners.
Good luck with your search mate and let us know how you get on..

Jim.
