The Suzuki Gladius SFV650 is a naked motorcycle introduced by Suzuki for the 2009 model year with the intention of it being a replacement for the SV650.
[1] Subsequently, in most countries the half-fairing second-generation SV650S continued to be sold alongside the Gladius until 2014.
The bike featured a new, more modern-looking aesthetic design, with a tubular trellis-style frame, more similar to the first generation SV650, and an upgraded engine in an effort to increase fuel economy, lower the emissions, and increase peak power and low- to mid-range torque.
At the Tokyo Motor Show in 2009, Suzuki announced they would also be making smaller capacity, 400cc Gladius SFV400 for the Japanese market.
