		It was either the Gladius or a Ninja 250R for my first bike. Man, am I glad I chose this. It has plenty of power so that you don't get bored quickly but not so much that you get yourself into trouble. It's definitely a torquey bike. Super fun. Low seat height. Great in the curves. But I do have to a<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">gree about the seat. It becomes very uncomfortable after about an hour. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase. Got this bike for a steal with Suzuki's $1000 coupon and 1.99% financing. </span>

		Traded in my Kawasaki Vulcan cruiser, for the gladius svf 650, boy did I do the right thing. What a lot of fun this bike is. It's light, handles Great in the twisties, as well on highways. Get a lot of comments on it too. If you get a chance take one for a ride, you'll buy it.
