Default 2016 SV Anyone?

Just come across this:-
http://www.suzukibulletin.co.uk/wp/w...1-1024x683.jpg
75bhp apparently with lots of new bits. I might be more interested if they make an S version. Then again 3 x SVs may be seen as obsessive.
Hmmmmm!

Have to admit that it looks just like a dressed down Gladius with a round headlight & different exhaust. Don't get me wrong I like it, but I'll stick with mine for now

If the new round headlamp fits the Gladius, I'll be putting one on mine. Don't think the new SV's pipe is much of an improvement over the Glad's. What's the after market pipe fitted to yours, Mister C ? ....I might be asking Santa to source one for me! I wish the new SV had been out last year.

I have to admit that everybody that looks at mine loves the looks. I thought it was as ugly as sin when I bought it, but have grown to like it over time. Suzuki were one of the 1st to go with the "funky" looks & now all the other manufacturers have followed suit. It's a pity more people can't warm to the Gladius's looks as they are a cracking little fun bike to ride.
The exhaust is a Motad Venom. Mine was one of the 1st to be sold, so i got it for less that £100 as long as I gave Motad some pictures of it fitted.
You can get them off Ebay for £135 complete with link pipe, delivered from Motad. It sounds really nice, not overley loud, but gives it a deep tone. Here's the Ebay link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-Gla...p2056016.l4276

Done a good job for the 2016.

Shame there is no "S" though. How hard can it be Mr Suzuki?

My feelings exactly, if there's no S model then I won't be getting a 3rd SV
