Default My new bike

Well, I bit the bullet & took Suzuki up on their 0% finance deal. I am now the proud owner of my 3rd 650 Suzuki, but this time I've gone for the Gladius. I picked her up at lunchtime today, took her for a little 50 mile bimble & I've loved every minute of it. I doubt whether I'll need any suspension upgrades as it beats the standard SV hands down, but I am going to have to get an aftermarket exhaust for her.

He knocked a nice chunk of money off, so i couldn't complain. I didn't like the look of them, but it's growing on me now.

I'm amazed at the difference between this & my old Curvys. Had the missus on the back & it felt totally planted & unfazed

Nice Col, I've always liked them, except for the exhaust.

Even though it doesn't need suspension upgrades & do think a GSXR front end would look really cool
