Me either, this is the first I heard of it. I thought the SV was still selling well. I guess not.

I do like the way the Gladius looks except for the exhaust and giant rear fender. Those look like crap on most other bikes too though so I wouldn't get too worked up about either one. Suzuki USA doesn't seem too excited about it considering one of the four "features" of the bike Suzuki decided to highlight on the front page "overview" of the Gladius is that it comes with a tail light. No kidding Suzuki, does it come with tires and a seat too?

the SVS has been but the SVN not so much. I think they were trying to revitalize the market with the Gladius - fail.

Even the SVS's they list on the corporate website are 2009's.

Somewhat off subject (by ~600cc), why hasn't there been more discussion about the GSX1250FA?
It looks interesting.

Suzuki did not offer some models in the US in '10. The SV was one of them. Maybe they aren't bringing any SV's for 11 either.

They didn't import any to the US because of the crappy sales numbers.

What's up with people not contacting me back... first the boots....

Applied to get the bike monday and the guy said he would call me back by tuesday or wednesday at the latest. Friday rolls around and I call them back and let them know I hadn't gotten a call yet. The retarded receptionist told me the guy would call me back within the hour. Its now saturday... no call. Wth?
