That would be a personal opinion.
If you like the SV, take a gladius for a test ride, my suspicion is you'll find them very similar. I can't really comment on prices as I'm not aware of where the market's at but I'd look to make a reasonable saving by going ex-demo vs brand new. Jambo

I assume the demo bike is a year old?If so it sounds expensive to me.

Nowt wrong with the Gladie. I've got one. Been riding bikes for yrs and i like this one. Out of my last 4 bikes, Three of them have been V-twins. Curvy SV650, SV1000S, Z750 and now my gladie. In l4's i find boring. You'll like it once you get your hands on one.

Went to the Suzuki dealer at the weekend to get some bits for my GSXR.
They had a couple of Gladi in there in different colours, actually I think its starting to grow on me a little more now.

Not especially. I'd want it serviced (nearing 4000), lots of bits thrown in and dropped to £3500. Even then I'd want it immaculate
