A handful. But its only been out for two years, versus the ten-ish for the SV. I think a bike with no faired option is suicide in the US anyway. How many naked sv's do you see? The gladius is a budget bike. Its built and priced as such. I have the same feeling about the fz6r vs the fz6. Cheap frame, cheap suspension.
