Does anybody know this bike on Trademe? Suzuki VZ800 Marauder. Buying advice needed.

If it's alloy parts, then yes you have to strip the clear coat off and sand it back then re-polish. Or paint/powdercoat/clearcoat/anodise.

You don't have to reapply a clear coat. I stripped a lot of ally bits on my old Bandit back to bare metal, and then polished and left them bare. It just means you have to give them a polish with some Autosol every now and then to keep them looking good, because they will get manky after a while. Or just shoot some clear on them yourself. I preferred the bare ally look.

That's funny, a friend of mine went from a 250 Volty to an 800 Marauder as well. They're good bikes as far as I remember.
