got it from indysuperbikes for $250 delivered, took a few weeks as it came in from italy, but man does it sound nice. nice deep rumble, all I4 sound like crap compared to v-twins IMO, sounds like a small block cheby

AMEN!

It's definitely good looking, but being a Monster owner, I can't help but think the Zuk designers did a little copy and paste.

Looks good, Ed. I love my Arrows on my Speedy - deep, low and bellowing.

Dude, the first gen SV was about as close as you can come to a Japanese Monster.

I had someone ask if mine was Suzuki-Ducati!

Wow, sweet! I've been lookin at the Gladius, been hesitant about it... but maybe not so much now. Looks and sounds great!

I'm talking about looks alone... look at the second picture of his versus mine. Trellis frame, cast sub, cast footpeg bracket, the headlight? The 696 was a 2008 model. The Gladius was a 2009 model.

I like the deep sound. Wise choice.
