the bike review is excellent, good camera(only wind is fucking microphone), and I dont know why the fuck people disliked this review?I know that most of them who watched this are riding on gladius, but this is very good review and the most important-HONESTLY!

[xwagon]

@TheApoteos - Yeah thanks mate, we like to think we are as honest as possible on all our reviews, nice to hear somebody appreciates this!

[axman789]

Hey you guys are in Australia right? That means that with it being an LAMS bike it has a different injector mapping to purposefully bring the bike's power down, correct?

[xwagon]

@axman789 yes absolutely, the bike has been de-tuned to allow beginners to ride it legally. It makes it feel like a heavy 250cc.

[xwagon]

Sounds like somebody loves the Gladius and has never riden a bike with more than 8hp...

[xwagon]

ahh, yep, Miffy got a ticket...85 in 50 zone...ouch...and on the slowest bike ever. We think the Suzuki gods were punishing him for being so cruel to the bike.

LAMS? No wonder it sucked compared to other bikes. It's not a beginner bike.

[GilligansIsle1]

@GilligansIsle1 If you tested a non-LAMS version and paid the US price I think you'd be a lot more pleased with it.

[GilligansIsle1]

What were you expecting from a budget 650 naked? GSXR agility, brakes, power and suspension? This is a fun bike for $6500 in the US, and the optional seat is $135. The US stock bike reportedly does a 12 second quarter mile. You wallaroos must have been given a real pussy version of the bike.

[axman789]

@xwagon That's what I thought. I live in the US and mine rips pretty hard (after you ditch the crappy stock muffler that is lol). Ride safe guys.

@wvkng Ha Ha Ha…the 9 ½ minutes to do 100kmph statement is obviously sarcasm (derr). Can you hear the bike screaming it's head off up and around the corners? And @ 1:14, notice there’s no chicken strip on the edge of the rear tyre either. Ridden it like a pussy? Hmmmm, probably not. Try to remember, it’s a learner legal bike, hence a lack of power. The comment at 3:29 sums it up. - Good work guys.
