Gladius - The new SV650

that fairing option is hideous. Id sack the stylist.

I cant see how Suzuki can kick the SV as its a great seller. It does need an update though, its getting left behind year on year.

...and the Gladius is it. Why would Suzuki introduce another middleweight v twin with very similar characteristics if not as a direct replacement?

The Gladius, SV650 Sport, and the SV650N will be sold side by side in 2009, the question is will the Gladius replace the entire SV range in 2010?

If it does, expect to see the number of units sold plummet.

Then again, that's exactly what they did with the Bandit

i'm sorry, the Gladius is not, and never will be an SV successor (for me at least)

yuk.

Face it boys and girls the SV is dead long live the Gladius. IMO its better looking. If they bring out a half faired version i would expext to see the SV range killed of prety soon after.
