I looks allot like the B King but smaller. No way Zuk would give up the market created with the SV.

BTW.. The B King is Awesome if you can get over the looks. I spent more time on the back wheel than two with no effort on a completely stock bike.

Jesus Christ, a $400 increase in MSRP on the 600 without anything but color changes.

i can't see Zuki getting rid of the SV. i don't see the gladius doing too good here in the US. i've heard from a lot of people that it is their attempt to copy Ducati's monster line. You can see it if you look at them side by side.

all have the same sort of headlight profile... and hideous exhaust... but I imagine they're all great bikes...

the Gladius is replacing the SV I think


edit: yeah guess we agree on that
