2006 Suzuki Marauder 125[edit | edit source]
Small-engined motorcycles may indeed look nice, and Suzuki's 2006 MY Marauder 125 is the best machine to prove this. This beginner-friendly 124cc air-cooled single has a lot of scaled-down elements borrowed from the big-bore bikes which make it look really sweet. An upswept rear fender and a deeply-valanced front one, wire spoked wheels, a teardrop fuel tank and pull-back bard with top-mounted gauges, plus a loud shorty exhaust, the Marauder 125 has them all. Basically you get the full treat, but in a smaller package.
