    XJ6N v Suzuki Gladius

    Ok I rode the Gladius and loved it, power, feel, cornering, seat height, comfort.

    Am hoping to get on the XJ6 in the next week.

    What kind of feedback if any do you lot have, about either of these bikes?

    Any pipe you like, and ah, dont listen to me, its your choice and your money. Whatever bike totally suits your current needs is the one you should get.

    if you liked the gladius, why not try an SV-650? Same power but not as ugly as the gladius.

    Well the gladius I don't think is that bad, not a fan of some parts, but the seat height is suitable, the seat on the SV is not that hot for me. Partners bike is a SV1000 and I couldn't get on it.

    regarding the SV seat, I agree, it's rock fucking hard. Most uncomfortable bike seat I've ever sat on

    Quite unlike your seat which is made of a much softer material, of course...
