My brand new SFV-650 Gladius arrives tomorrow, delivered from Boyds motorcycles Hamilton....... Thankyou Glenn.
Its my very first "step up" bike from a 250 so, its going to be quite a learning curve for me. Oh my gosh.... I can not remember a time in my life when I have ever been this excited about anything. I feel like a little kid again, waiting for Christmas morning :done:

They have been getting excellent press.

They look the bees with the Laser Extreme mufflers. :Punk:

I saw a Gladius a few months back. Nice looking bit of kit.

Don't be scared of it. You will get the hang of the 650 V-twin in no time.

Enjoy!

Awesome! Thats what I want to get for my new big bike. Let me know how much fun it is! Not that I need any more convincing, sat on it and I was in love.

Good on you. They look pretty damn good in the flesh, and you'll enjoy the 650 motor. Should be an excellent step up from your 250.

I test rode one last week and found it a great little bike, I rode a GSR 600 the day before which I intended to buy but wanted to see what a v-twin was like. Well the Gladius and it's V-twin really won me over to the point I wasn't interested in the Inline 4 anymore.

Unfortunately I couldn't afford a new bike but have since gone and bought an SV650S second hand which is loads of fun.

Tried to get the wife interested in one of those for an upgrade, but no takers there. I like the look of the Gladius but I am more or a S man myself.

On the way out the door the kind sales man at Holeshot Suzuki had worked out how to take my SV for a trade in. I was like, easy tiger, I've only had my SV a few weeks.

Maybe I will upgrade to the Gladius 1000S when that comes out ;)
