It'll be interesting to see the sales figures. I think they've not helped it's chances with the girly colour scheme and name, and I'm the first to admit I'm a girly.

It's just not built for us, that's all. It does the job it's supposed to, just that we want a bike that does a different job.

Horses for courses. It's still $hit though.

On a brighter note there might be some improved bits that are worth nicking out of the engine.

No... Wait. That wasn't a sensible comment there was it?

That can't be right, oh no. The Gladius must be **** - I mean, it isn't my SV is it?

Re: gladius is doing alright for itself again
 

Got a deposit down on one as a commuter out here, I reckon it'll do the job pretty well, plus it'll be faster than an SV with that extra power.

I dont see anything wrong with it. The looks just come down to persnal taste I guess, much like that horrible looking curvy :-)

A similar discussion happened with the owners of the Honda Pan-Euro whe the new shape came out.....its horrible, it doest ride well etc etc.

......still prefer my SV though :-)

I thought the looks aren't that bad when seen in the video, again it looks different in the flesh than in photos.
