Well, gladius is Latin for sword, and Katana had been used already.

What's wrong with calling a bike Gladys?  I've named my bikes, though I never actually call them by name (it always seems wierd).

because, when i picture someone named gladys... this is the mental image that comes up >.<



and just overall, for a bike, the name gladius just sounds ugly to me... a short roman stabbing sword? meh

lots of other cool sword names could have been use... but for me, the biggest crime was killing off the sv name.  i mean, with the sheer popularity associated with that name, i was shocked they were willing to kill it off.  years of brand recognition gone basically...

BMW R1200CL. By a longshot



Notice any similarities?  




Then there's the Jaguar bike, which looks, um, well, it looks like. . . . . . when you're 'riding' it.  It just looks like that cat's trying to leap away.  far far away. . .

why would you want a bike like that?

Saw this on eBay just now.  It's both ugly and stupid.  I give no points for originality.

I dig it as well.


This one however...

I think your first sentence is the answer to your second.

Not only that, but I really doubt that there's a Ferrari engine in there.

How could I forget this "beauty"!

Is this the unwanted offspring that resulted from an affair between a Road King and a Diavel?
