Should we welcome Gladius owners?

I say don't let them in at all - lets be clear about this - its not an sv!

You don't even own an SV FFS.

I've looked at buying everything at some point
ZX12R, Daytona 955i, Speed Triple, GSXR1100, ZZR1100, CBR900...

Something with some grunt and room is all I'll say SV is a blinding bike and I still love it. I just fancy a change

Yeah, felt the same when I got shut of me curvey and bought the daytona 650, fantastic bike, but not me, miss the curvey tbh

Why's that? I have to admit, I do *love* the grumble my SV makes

I really like the daytona 650, but too expensive for me tbh. I thought I wanted a 955i daytona, but didn't like it in the 'metal'.

Miss hearing a bike that sounds 'right' ,miss the v twin rumble, dunno, not a sportsbike rider I guess, quite happy with a v twin under me I suppose, thinking of the street triumph 675 though

I had a sit on one today, got to say that I was very impressed... Still to have a shot on one but from eyeballing it it's much better thought out and packaged than the SV, it basically has a look and feel of quality that the SV always lacked. The blue-and-white is pretty nice... Still ugly though. Cupars asked me up to have a go "We know you won't buy it" so I might do just that in a week or two.

I saw one in the flesh today, and going browsing again tomorrow, if I get the chance I'll try sitting on it.

Me and my mate both didn't take to it, I don't know what it is about it that I dislike, just looking at previous models of the SV, how can Suzuki replace the SV naked with that!

Although reading what Liam has said, it seems to ride pretty nice. Is it one of them bikes you take to if you own, or reguarly see / ride with?

so way back in 2002 was there a thread "shall we welcome the new pointy owners to the org" ?

Probably. And you can see how badly that worked out!
