Lol, I meant what do you think about the Er, not the glady.

I found an article last night comparing the Monster to the Glady. They basically say that the Glady is a better bike than the Monster already. And with the $2k that you are saving over the Monster, you can upgrade to some trick suspension bits and have some cash left over.

I can't get past the looks of the gaydius.

I like the ERRRRRRRRRRRR. The only two negatives are 1. the seat sucks. 2. The throttle is jerky. I've adjusted it and it's just way too jerky going slow speeds. It's not so bad the faster you go, but you're always having to concentrate on your hand movement.

Other than that, it's a fun bike. It's upright and "feels" a LOT lighter than my VFR. I can ride my VFR for a week then jump on the ERRRRRR and almost tump my self over changing lanes too fast.

I flew to get mine and paid $4k from an individual a year ago and some months. I wouldn't pay any more than that. I was on a kawi forum and it's amazing what people will pay at a dealership. A dude payed $6k'ish for the same bike at a dealer. Luckily I wasn't the only one that noticed he was an r-tard for paying that much.

There was two kickass SV's on sale on my texas forum. One was a newer model 1k with a few models, then there was a tad older 650cc model with a shit load of mods for about the same price. Both were super clean and super nice.

O if only making money was easy.

Great Article.

When pictures of Suzuki’s Gladius first surfaced, we had an awkward moment with a Suzuki dealer that we happened to be talking with. “What do you think of the new bike?” he asked. We tried to bite our tongues but we couldn’t. “You mean the one that looks like the Ducati Monster?” Now here is where brand loyalty blinds one to reality. “It looks nothing like a Monster,” the dealer said. We smiled. He didn’t smile. He called us snobs. We stopped smiling. Our conversation was over.

Have you thought about a SV1000. My buddy got this one here for a really good price. Looks and rides great too...

I think insurance is cheap too becuase they see a V-twin and they price them as if you had a 1000cc Boulevard
