2013 Suzuki SFV650 Gladius, The Suzuki SFV650, also known as the Gladius, is a delight on the road – fun and zippy.  {The Gladius, a Latin word for a small sword used by Roman foot soldiers}   Suzuki’s fun-loving Gladius has undergone a name change.  It’s no longer called Gladius - it’s now simply called SFV650.Still the same nimble, fun bike. Fun. That’s the single best word to describe the SFV650. Two words would be – fun and economical. The SFV650 isn’t that far out of reach for most people who are in the market for a full-size, hard-working yet fun and, not to mention, exotic-looking motorcycle for the street, and the SFV is rather inexpensive to operate, its two medium-sized cylinders sucking just enough fuel to get you upwards of 55 miles per gallon, depending how much fun you and your right wrist are having. You can cover a lot of ground with its 3.9-gallon tank. Plus, it has no problems being fed cheaper 87-octane fuel, despite its somewhat high 11.5:1 compression ratio. There’s no sticker on the tank saying you must get the good (expensive) stuff. That’s a big deal.  The bike has plenty of power for commuting on the freeways. In fact, the SFV is quite comfortable droning along at 65-80 mph. There is no sign of laboring from the motor at these speeds, nor do you feel much in the way of excessive buzzing, even approaching its 10,500 redline. And it accelerates nicely while already at speed. This one is clean!!! It has under 3000. miles!!! Fully serviced and ready to ride.
