Re: Gladius - The new SV650
I quite like that, the colour scheme is horrible which doesnt help.

Re: Gladius - The new SV650
Looks like a steel tube frame. Exhaust looks interesting, future rot box collector underneath. Bodywork ends too short at the rear for me. It's a bit Ducati Monster to me. The engine and forks look much the same apart from cosmetic work on the casings.
I'm not entirely convinced. I suspect that this is a special model, hence the name Gladius. I would think that there will be a normal SV650 and SV650S to follow with some of the design aspects but more conservative.

Re: Gladius - The new SV650
It's still got a stupidly short fender. More wet plug syndrome for years to come!
Other than that, I like it. The comment from over my shoulder just now was "oooh, when are you going to buy one of those? I like it..." |
