Suzuki Gladius gets price tag along with accessories

Suzuki’s new entry-level bike, the 2009 Suzuki Gladius has been officially listed at $6,899. That’s pretty much right in the middle of the other Japanese offerings for entry level middle weight bikes. A full $600 cheaper than the sportier full-faired SV650SF, the Gladius is $100 more than the Kawasaki Ninja 650R and $500 more than the ER-6n, but still just under the $6,990 MSRP of the Yamaha FZ6R. Honda apparently can’t be bothered with offering anything beyond the dated Rebel 250.>
