On an equal footing however, I dont see a reason why the Gladius couldnt be used provided that it adheres to the current regs. |

Re: Gladius - Mini Twin or not?
They also have a heavier flywheel to stop newbs from stalling... not that they did before. Also same crap suspension as an SV. I would spend same money on an earlier bike with better suspension.
BTW it is a completely seperate model to the SV, according to minitwin rules on website, so you can't swap any parts over. Seems like BS rule to me as it's clearly just the SV's queer cousin but that's the rules.

IIRC the Gladius has a 46 rear sprocket too I seem to remember reading somewhere, so it'd feel punchier than an earlier, higher geared bike.

Re: Gladius - Mini Twin or not?
The Gladius is legal and we are currently helping an Ex Superteen Champ with his for next season. Its will go onto the dyno in the next week prior to going to Jerez. Stock they make about 1bhp more than the SV so not much difference.
Parts arent interchangeable between the Gladius and SV650 as they are two seperate models. |
