Re: gladius is doing alright for itself again
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.

Re: gladius is doing alright for itself again
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.

Re: gladius is doing alright for itself again
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.

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.

Re: gladius is doing alright for itself again
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

Re: gladius is doing alright for itself again
I thought the looks aren't that bad when seen in the video, again it looks different in the flesh than in photos.
