They made a 1600cc version of the Marauder. Why stuff a 1600cc motor of another brand in there? Seems like a lot of work just to end up with what you could have bought from the factory.

The Suzuki Marauder 1600s came from the factory with Kawasaki 1600 MeanStreak engines in them. It was a joint venture with the 2 companies. I run a Suzuki Marauder 1600 Intake, throttle-body, and injectors, with a 1600 MeanStreak ECU on my Nomad, and I really love the improvement.

I guess he means 6 and 4 piston callipers, not 6 and 4 calliper brakes.

Suzuki sold Mauraders here as well in Canada, they were the same as the Meanstreak, but about $1500.00 cheaper.

I'm pretty sure it was a lot more than just the engine. From my under standing it was a Meanstreak with a different rear fender. The tank, front end, etc was all the exact same.

Looks like the head light and dog bowl is slightly different too. But pretty much the exact same bikes.

The headlight was a bit different from what I remember.

Looks like the gas tank and rear fender are different. I was under the impression that the 800 and 1600 Marauders had different frames but I've never owned either.
