Default Is the SV still in production ?

Have noticed a couple of times recently in bike mags reviewing the new gladius, that the comment has been made that the SV is no longer in production, is that true ? saw the comments in MCN and I think RIDE mag.

know MCNLiam were saying last week when we went to have a peep at his demo Gladys, that Gladius was going to be the replacement for the nakid SV, as far as he knows

I think it's a PC society letting the retarded brother of the SV have 15 minutes of fame. It's a fugly machine, spawn of the B-King.

However i dunno how it rides, maybe that makes up for it

I quite like the Gladys as a naked bike,and its already got an extra seven BHP on the SV and a nice torque curve.Needs a few mods but whats new,the SV needs mods as well.

After spending all of last Saturday in front of, or behind a Gladys, it seems it rides pretty well, I think Liam 'appeared' to be enjoying it!
