Gladius is listed under sportbike instead of standard on Suzuki's website. I wonder what that makes it vs SVn.

There were already three other threads similar to this, so why another one?

I honestly think the gladius is a good direction for a bike. Not all bikes, just _a_ bike.

I'd like to see some specs and more pictures, but it's obviously not marketted to the "conventional" biker market. That being (in my mind) young men (18-30) who would like something sportier, or rugged, or mid-life-crisis men (40+) who need a phat cruiser.

It's obvious to me that this bike is intended for girls more than guys. I don't see anything wrong with a bike designed with women in mind. Bubbly styling akine to the versys, only moreso, low seat height (i hope) and manageable power (a 650 twin)...I mean, I don't see anything wrong with that.

it just means I won't be buying it. but that's fine, I prolly won't buy a gixxer1000 either eh

edit: okay, i should have clicked the link for specs.

I like it a lot, especially the blue and white. Hopefully it will accept GSXR suspension as easy as the SV.

If handling is what we expect, I'd buy one. In fact the only thing I don't like about it is it's heavier weight.
