No as it doesn't take the SV name, it is a cousin like the DL650.

Yeah we should encourage gladius owners on here. Not to my taste, but the more the merrier

It will probably have the same issues as the SV so we will be of some help too.

What makes you think Gladius owners will want to mix with us lot. Maybe they bought a gladius because they don't like sv's. Maybe they will start their own gladius.org
