Re: Is this going to replace the SV?
Had SV in for a service this week and due to the shame of agreeing to take a Pink Gladys errrrr Gladius as a courtesy bike i was forced to swear to everyone on a bike near me at every set of lights that 'I did not buy this....HONEST'.
It feels like a 125, sounds like a quiet 125, has the turning circle of a 125 (ok i know thats actually about 10000000% better than an SV) but did'nt feel right. Could'nt get comfy on the single piece seat and kept slidng up it, pegs were way too far forward for me and i couldnt get into a position i liked at all. Low seat height too put me off badly and worst of all, it makes the standard mirrors on my SK5 look good! bleeding things, left one was more or less ok, but the right one, bah, couldnt do anything with it at all. Ok thats my bout of negativity over for today. And they say its white and purple, bloody pink i tell you! Bike had 137 miles on it when i got it and 23 miles later it went back, next time if thats the only choice, ill take the bus. |

Ugly as hell. Same with the new Kwaka ER-6s. And the replacement for the venerable CG, the CBF125. Yuck.
