I have put about 6600 miles on my Gladius since May 2009, before that about 6,000 miles on a 2002 SV650S. The Gladius is a bargin of a bike for its performance. The wide handlebar, upright riding position and low (and narrow) seat height make it a great starter bike and allow plenty of performance to grow into. The power output is very tame and linear, not as abrupt as earlier FI or carb version of SV650, hence easier to operate for beginners.
