Gladius - The new SV650

[yorkie_chris]

Oh aye, I know what you mean, but I haven't yet seen a modern ducati that doesn't look tarty

Then again, my taste goes more towards things sprayed matt black with all money spent on the inside of the engine

I think I've found the replacement for Bucket.

I like it mostly. There are indeed a few bits I don't like, but I think I could live with them or see if I could modify or replace them.

Overall, I like it. I like it better than the pointy version anyway. Shame they couldn't have found a way to combine the new looks in the old frame.

Gladius is the type of sword the Romans used.

I would need to see it in the metal but not fussed and the colours look very 'stylish' as if aimed for a female audience.

The engine specs sound good so it should offer a bit more go that the average SV650.

what the chuffing hell is that.....its bad enough as it is without shoving a chavvy paint job on it, tank protectors with the union flag on is bad enough, but its even more tasteless stroooon across a full tank...bleuuughhh

yes,,,,its the only useful part of the bike

two things:

1) an 's' model with a top box?

2) there's a union flag paint job on the tank - whats the crack with the tricolore' ducati's? Something to do with having the italian flag colours on the bike
