Even though you'd most likely have eyes frowning at you , you could say that the 2009 MY SFV650 Gladius is the Japanese version of the Ducati Monster. With a smaller engine than its Italian counterpart, the Gladius sports a new power unit with a v-twin 90-degree architecture and 645cc displacement. Transmission is manual, with 6 speeds and a chain final drive.
The SFV650 Gladius is a true roadster, with its steel trellis frame in plain sight and a highly-aerodynamic headlight. The profile of the bike is slender and the compliant suspension delivers the right amount of sportiveness and all-rounder versatility. That is, the 2009 MY Suzuki SFV650 Gladius can equally be your commuter of choice, weekend fun machine, and even travel bike. It's in fact more versatile than you are.
