I called to test ride a 700 and they intentionally had a 1200 ready. I told them I can't ride that big thing and they were like sure you can! My test ride lasted over a half hour when I called (they thought I crashed) and said I'll take it! lol
I must admit I really didn't know these bikes existed until I bought a Cavalcade which has the same engine only larger .... If one pops up for sale I might be tempted lol
WHAT!! A Madura Commercial!!I love my 85 Madura 1200 Burgundy gutted pipes (how it was when I got it) but motor was fully rebuilt and had 600 on it when I got it. Call her Raunchy Suzy. I stopped riding due to my wife’s wishes. But I ride it twice a month on a private road I live next to to keep it fresh. Are they really that rare 3000 1200’s made only from 85-86?? I’ve owned it 5 years now stopped riding 2 years ago rode for 3 years straight with no car as back up. Only bike I wrecked I owned 14 in those 3 years was my 83 Venture but still have it lady turned left in front of me of course. Either way I love my Madura never letting it go and feel luck to own it.
My 700 got stolen and trashed. My heart is still broken. Had nearly 50K on it without a single problem. A mix of mostly city driving with a few road trips thrown in. Best vehicle I ever owned. Comfort, power, agility.
Good job, Suzuki Cavalcade?
I called Suzuki dealer, they are out of stock... But they promised to call as soon as they get them again!!!

Where are you located?
Great bike
The 1200 had no kick start, electronic ignition only. I always worried if the electric crapped out, I'm stuck. lol
Is that Optimus prime educating me about my bike?
Very informative. Must of been played at the dealership back in the day.
