suzuki Marauder with 1600 KAW engine - Page 2

The equivalent Kawasaki was just a little bigger on everything. 35 lb heavier, about an inch taller, 3 inches longer, and almost a gallon of additional fuel in the tank.

Kind of weird but the only spec where the Suzuki beats it is wheelbase where its about an inch longer. It may be an illusion but in the side by side pics, the forks look longer but the rake is more shallow on the Suzuki. I was trying to find specs to prove/disprove it but got tired of looking.

In '04 Suzuki sold THE Mean Streak as a VZ1600 M95. The differences were minor. Rear fender, headlight, and apparently the dog bowl. Beyond that, it's a Mean Streak. I have an '05 Streak and am also on the Mean Streak forum. There are a couple of guys on there with Marauders. After they changed the rear fender for Low&Mean, and put new intakes on them, only the headlight looks different.
