The

2008 Hyosung Trike |
Hyosung
Hyosung featured a trike, based on an Acquila 650 to which a Trinity Trike kit was added. We liked the single front wheel layout for its stability and user friendliness, for rider as well as the passenger.
Priced at around $12 000, the kit requires one day of work by a Qualified mechanic to install - and you get a nice safe and easy to handle toy.
Suzuki Gladius
The
Gladius is a new-for-2009 standard machine based on the successful and highly regarded SV650.
The SV650 motor has lost a few horses, though 67 is still a good number, but gained some torque to make the Gladius a better city bike.
Simpler brakes and suspension complete the cost effective package, one that will please new riders as well as those who ride mostly in urban areas or like their ride to be relaxed and user-friendly.
The modern look of the tank and chassis, as well as the impressive muffler and elegant colour patterns (Check out the pink!) will undoubtedly catch the eye, as it give the Gladius it's unique style
