If we were asked for a recommendation by someone looking to buy a solid, versatile motorcycle that represents a true performance value, the all-new Gladius is one of the first we would mention. Its SV-family 90-degree V-Twin engine has class-leading horsepower and torque, yet is easily managed even by less-experienced riders. European-inspired styling features sleek, flowing lines wrapped around a tubular trellis frame. The Gladius' upright riding position and wide handlebar also help make this platform less intimidating than your average middleweight.
