the gladiola was replacement for the nekkid, this is the same bike they've always sold with out the fairing lowers that they flogged the bike with for a few years

a bit of a non-event really

+1 For steves comments

The price of the sport put it perilously close to the prices of the IL4's equivalents and ducatti's monster

I guess it allows them to sell more fairings for inflated prices (curvy side panels have recently gone up from £130 to £209- I should have replaced them last year! Though I think these are more expensive than pointy fairing bits anyway).
