Was reading in one of the bike magazines that it was aimed at female bikers too! No woman would surely go for the Gladius?!

You should see the advert on eurosport- all women in it, I really wonder why they are aiming it so much at women, given men are the bigger market.

Saw the green custom one in the MCN with wire wheels and the plastic taken off the bottom of the frame, that looked good.
The plastic frame covers are super tacky.
I think they are trying to make the 650 look girly so they can punt more hyper bikes to "real men".
