"Monkier" omg I had to play it back 10 times to make sure I was hearing right lmao
The engine on this bike will run forever without braking down unlike the Ducati.
I love my Gladius. My only complaint is the brakes and the seat, which can both be remedied and will be soon enough. It's got all the power you need and where you need it out on the streets.
For how "old" my 09 Gladius is, I still have yet to be impressed by any of the competitors. That said the FZ-07 gets close. Love my Gladius. I've used it for commuting, canyon ripping, and a 1600 mile 4 day tour.
Same here. I'm very glad I bought this bike, and no other in this range has what it takes for me to want to switch.
*****
Oh, I love the Street Triple. One of the best bikes ever made IMO, but for what my needs are the Gladius suits me well. I won't be buying another middleweight next time though, I'm looking for something bigger and roomeir, and does better on the highway. I'm actually pretty interested in the new Bonneville that's coming out. ;)
*****
That's being noted as the 'R' version of the Tracker, which is the "Thruxton", does come with upgraded brakes and suspension. Hopefully the Bonneville version will also have an 'R' type option, otherwise the only real difference will likely only be the handlebar, so just buy a Thrux and through on a more standard type bar and there you have it, and 'R' type Bonneville.
Yea, It's weird that they complain about the cramped ergos... because I'm 6'1 and ride mine very comfortably. Before buying it, I almost got a Ducati Monster (the other bike tested), but my legs cramped trying to get my feet on the pegs.
The bike rode... okay, at first, but it feels amazing with the Avon Storm 2 dual compound tires on... Stickier tires really make it a better bike.

When I put my new set of Michelin Pilot Road 4s on it it was transformed. Absolutely day and night difference; like a whole new bike.
Do you know what is annoying about these video's, it's the over exaggerated leaning off the bike when the speeds and conditions don't warrant it.......
I am just getting back into riding after taking a couple years off and was looking at a Gladius. I have pretty much only had sportbikes (3 gsxr 600's and a Daytona 675). I want something that is still a little sporty but will not get me in trouble like my old bikes did and is more comfortable on longer rides.
It's "moniker," not "monkier."
ok
Dude's hair just woke up from a 48 hour rager in Vegas.
If Suzuki restyled the SFV650 with a better looking headlight and exhaust, and upgraded brakes... they'd sell loads of this. That V-twin engine is and sounds AMAZING, and it's proven to be bulletproof. The MT07 looks cheaper and the "modern" design is actually quite vulgar for anyone older than 20. The Yamaha is more agile as it's lighter, but these are both "slow" bikes compared to sportbikes anyway, so I'd go for the Suzuki without hesitation. It feels more like a "proper" naked bike.
boom 2016 suzuki sv650 comes out problem solved!
They still make this motorcycle?! Amazing
I rode both and enjoyed this more than the FZ-07.
For the same price it would be hard not to pick the fz. However, most dealers will do some serious dealing on the gladius, especially '13 holdovers. I know I got mine for about $2k less, made the decision easy.
Do supersport middleweight comparison
cool video!
I agree with your comment
Nice Suzuki :)
same engine as in the Vstrom
the only problem with the gladius is the built quality and the choice of materials HOWEVER this does translate into a much more affordable bike for the beginner rider. A new exhaust is a must as the stock one makes it sound like a scooter
I owned a 2001 and 2003 sv 650. Both were great motorcycles.
What about now?
I would go for a yamaha Mt 09 now.
Muy fiable engine Suzuki. very very good.
Is it just me or does this thing kind of look like a Brutale 675?
I'm thinking about getting into riding motorcycles and I'm quite short so this bike seems go be a good candidate for my starter bike. I'm 4'10 so finding a bike thats not too big for me is a challenge but this one seems like a good one.
+cenalina13 if you have never ridden motorcycles I would recommend a motorcycle with less power. This bike has a lot of power that can get you into trouble.
+MrGimmethreesteps I don't know, I've looked up a few bikes and every forum that I've come across recommends this. Do you have any suggestions I can look up? Because I like to do my research before jumping into anything.
cenalina13 I would recommend anything below 600cc. A few of my top picks would be the Suzuki tu250x, gs500, ds200, from Kawasaki the ninja 250r, 300, or 500r. The Honda cbr500 and cb500 is good too.
+MrGimmethreesteps okay, thanks. I have to look up videos and reviews for these but I might have my work cut out for me, you gave me a lot of homework to do! lol but thank you for your help, I really appreciate it. :)
I live in the UK and took my test on this, I will be buying one soon :) this bike is great and handles really well and in the corners it is amazing
Everything those guys said was so backhanded lmao.
"It doesn't have enough horse power but that made it kinda fun"
"kinda felt like a minibike in that it was so maneuverable"
its a 650 lmao not a 250
I looked at all these bikes recently. I'm sure the fz-07 rides nice but it's so cheap made. It looks like a power wheels at Walmart. The Ducati is very well built and by far the best looking.
heard the ducs break down after 15k while the Suzuki can go 100k I like riding my bike no working on it all the time-- is the Yamaha a twin DOB
What about the new 2015 GSX-S 750 for $7999????
These guys need to read there own dyno's sheet, the SFV-650 makes over 4.HP more than the FZ-07 which has a 44 cc larger motor, and its 47 Lbs less in weight.
If they both had the same weights, I think the SFV would be faster too ?
I maybe a bit partial seeing I own a K6 SV650 naked, that is less weight then the new SFV & makes more power too, I wish they still made these bikes.
Where did you see the sfv650 makes lower power than the sv650 ?
Sport Rider magazine for one, and many others too, just look up dyno results for both bikes on Google Images. Good luck, but you don't need luck to find them...> yl
***** I should have added the 2 gen bikes with FI, from 2003 up was the ones I was refering too.
I am not sure it was a fair comparison to the monster. The suzuki and the yamaha are like 200cc less than the ducati and their difference in cost is huge. The mt (fz in the usa) and the sfv cost about 6000 euro while the monster costs 12000.
For a naked close-to-800cc they could bring in the gsr750 instead of the sfv and the mt-09.
***** But still the FZ won!
How come so many reviewers hate this bike?
nice video, I'm a beginner motorcyclist, am small 166cm so which bike of this equation is right for me? I drive daily to work in the city and also the highway and sometimes during a weekend round of recreational so, which one? this or GSR600 or GSX R 600 or Kawa ER 6 N
for daily i think this bike and er6n for comfy to ride everyday..they have upright riding position..and you are taller tham me..i am just 163cm!
@@naqib8833 Thx for reaction & tips
@@petroosabdollahian1648 you are welcome!
¹1!aa
Mount a BOS GTS exhaust on the Suzuki, and throw away the stock one.
Thank me later.
2014 and without ABS?🙈
I live in Turkey and Gladius has ABS since 2009 till 2016 so its the distributors or Suzuki's decision if you don't have that option.
yes you all hit the nail right on the head, Lovely, sound, of it when shut off, cuming in to corner's, the rumbel, is lovely,, mind, I put road pilot 4 , on , as well exsalant, and delvik can, on it, stubby exhaust, , mint, 👍🏍️ don't for get ya , crash bobbins, to protect ya, cooling pump, it,s a must, ,
This is a blatant copy of a Ducati Monster .... Not talking about performance or handling but the design is literally copy/paste.
The long hair guy is ultra repetitive.
Yamaha: Newer technology, 74 hp, 50 ft lbs torque, weighs over 50 lbs. less than the Fatius and is $800 less and the FZ will smoke a Gladius in the 1/4 AND pull 3rd gear wheelies I might add. The Gladius won't, it's too effing heavy - hence, Fatius! A little front fork work and you've got a killer machine. (Suzuki, 3rd)
Yamaha 0-60 time?
