Please please Suzuki, fire the gay marketing guy and the send the toothpaste inspired styling guy packing.
Just try to say "Gladius" out loud without adding a lisp to it and sounding like more than a bit homosexual. Worst motorcycle name ever 
Sometimes one has to wonder if Suzuki is actually interested in selling bikes and making money. Perhaps they are trying to corner the as yet underserved young gay male market

All the major Japanese manufacturers have a whole department sitting around doing nothing but thinking up absurd names for their products. No really!
I gotta say though - if anyone tried to 'modernize' the looks of a Duc Monster, I reckon that's what they'd end up with  pretty sad statement though ... modern design is S-H-I-T especially from Japan.

All I can say is 'Triumph Street Triple' (with Duc Ladder frame thrown in to catch the rest)

I wish everyone would stop ripping off the old MV headlight design, its really getting a bit trite - doesn't anyone have their own designers these days? 
Other than the headlight, name and color it seems pretty cool. I think Suzuki should have upped it to 700-750ish cc to give it a leg up on the 696 and compete with the street triple.
