Maybe you'll all like this Gladius...

It's alright. Still not a fan of the banana seat.

Don't care about the 'naner seat. Do want.

I'm sure they'll have some sort of cowl/cover for the passenger part. Just like the monsters

I like it but not crazy about the radiator guards.

I dunno why people want to make the SV (or Gadius) into a dirt bike or motard or whatever... but aside from the big white t!ts (rad covers or whatever you want to call them) on the front of this one.. it actually looks a bit better.... and waay better than that miami vice pastel green

But what is up with that baby $h!t yellow color on the side case?

Figured I'd give it a go as that lime green sherbert version didn't really show off what we all could soon have. So how about a Ducati Red one instead.

Yes, you can thank me now. ;D

I was thinking that also.

And I kinda like the stock wheels that comes with the bike.

That exhaust is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long.

I bet it was made for the SV, which is very interesting. I've been thinking of doing the responsible thing and putting something on that is quiet and has a catalytic converter. U sorta like the stock gladius one (minus the shiny parts).

Yeah, if the side case gold was the same as the rims or frame on that stock red one it wouldn't be so bad... but all I can think of is someone wiped rancid baby turds on the side of that case... ick...

I can live with the banana seat, no issues at all. But in the name of all that is holy, get rid of the gold side case.

Wait, you want to ADD a catalytic converter? Wow.

Just thinking about it in the context of putting a more quiet exhaust on and being able to use saddle bags. It's not like there's really a performance hit or anything (aside from the weight and let's face it- there's plenty I could be doing about that between my knees and shoulders.)

Before I wrecked my high mount a couple month ago, I was thinking of finding a stock system so I could but bags on it but replaced it with a used low mount from someone on the board for the same effect.

Mostly what I was getting at is that it should mean the we will have some more exhaust options.

Now slap a set of black Marchesini's on there and you're all set.

Good job Nex.
I like the red w/ black frame.

Red on red FTW.

I may have found my next bike.

Undertail exhaust, SSSA, fork off GSXR with regular fender, the '08 SV bliue on a black frame and Speed Triple-ish lights + mini fairing.
