is it too late for them to drop the name and just call it the svf650 would have been so much better.

well...this is Gladys my pillion passenger, affectionately named after the Gladius on the Catherine wheel rideout in October...cause he looked ghey....like the gladys...kinda took my mind off stressing cause it was my first biggy after falling off

he kinda stayed and goes everywhere with me now, it gets lots of thumbs up from bus drivers, oddly enough.

Just because they pick up strange men on the street doesn't make bus drivers all gay you know.

Its what they do in specialised Nightclubs on Saturday night (and on Clapham Common) that does that

I liked that review better than the MCN one as it was honest and wasn`t biased by a holiday in Fuerteventura

Will Suzuki sell any Gladius bikes I wonder, nobody seems to want to be associated with the name, and they thought it would be a great hit with the ladies. I think that recession or not we'll see a different bike next year or drop it off altogether. Suzuki should get people to research the market on the internet. If they put the money into giving us better forks and a 100 more cc's they would have broke even with what they spent on research, sold more bikes and everybodies happy!

'Proper publication'?

You've really lost it now Chris.

i was thinking the same...

any mag that needs to drape half naked women all over the front to sell copies can't be that high up the quality ranking

of course if you ride some of the contraptions you see it that type of mag you'd have to have a sense of humour
