While Suzuki has us all entertained with the possibility of a new SV 650 it has suddenly surprised everyone with this new model for 2009, the Suzuki SFV 650 Gladius. In what seems like a restyling of the successful SV650 this SFV 650 seems to go a little further, trying to imitate the style of the Ducati Monster 696 but with slightly less noble materials. Of course, it seems that a version with ABS and the usual limitation to 34 CV will be available for the most novices.

At the front it mounts a pair of 290mm diameter discs bitten by a pair of Tokiko four-piston calipers. But very little else has leaked to the press, waiting for the site to start offering information.

The lighthouse remotely resembles that of the MV Agusta, while the footrests and their support may remind us of the new Ducati Monster. The chassis is a Trellis type multitubular also in the Ducati plan, but it gives me that what looks like cast aluminum parts are nothing more than trims as we can find in the Kawa Versys.

Maybe with this SFV 650 Suzuki you want to put a motorcycle on the market less Sport than SV to attract potential customers who do not want performance above all and "settle" for an affordable bike with not too much technology.
