My guess would be that the Gladius will be to the SV what the GSR is to the Bandit.

My guess is that the SV will become a rival to the Ducati 1098. Gladius will replace the novie end and the SV is gunna become super duper.

Paul the 6th is very modest - he has already posted a picture of this on the Catherine Wheel Photos thread in Pennine Massive ( about 3 pages from the end )

A spectacular failure?

Apparently the SV-N isn't being imported to the US next year, because of the Gladius. It wasn't a big seller there but then, it's not a big seller here either. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the N binned here as well.
