Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 2009, 2010
The biggest addition to the 2010 model year SFV650 Gladius is the addition of ABS brakes as standard equipment, introducing a new, higher level of street safety. As the Gladius is more of an urban warrior, situations when hard braking may be necessary are surely met more than often. And with dirt or water possibly making things even worse, the aid of the ABS is a most welcome addition.
On the tech side, the SFV650 Gladius does not bring significant upgrades over the debut bike, so you're dealing with pretty much the same beast as the previous model year.
