Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 2010, 2011
The SFV650 Gladius remains unchanged for 2011, as the recipe seems to be a good one, and highly appreciated by riders in search of a bike with Ducati Monster looks but with the Japanese technology seal of approval. The engine is the one powering the other 650 v-twin bikes from Suzuki's roster so you kind of know what to expect from it: strong-pulling character, smooth shifting and good fuel efficiency.
The bike is great for commuting and city fun, but will also feel amazing when ridden hard around countryside bends and with accessory luggage systems, it can even be a wonderful touring companion.
