Motorcycle manufacturer Suzuki has launched new colour option for bike insurance policyholders to consider when choosing a Gladius 650.
Previously, the machine had only been available in a range of colours such as red and silver or green and black. Now, Suzuki fans will be able to get hold of the model in an all-black version.
According to the firm, the Gladius was immediately successful when it entered the market at the beginning of 2009 but Suzuki felt it should met customer demands.
George Cheeseman, Suzuki GB marketing manager, commented: "The Gladius was an instant hit with UK customers and after listening to their views we're pleased to add the black option to the range."
The firm claims that the bike appeals to all types of motorcyclists and shames some more expensive and powerful models in UK tests.
Gladius 650 naked-style offerings are available for £4,700 and are described by Suzuki as bridging the gap between beginners and experienced riders, combining an inspiring chassis with impressive performance in a user-friendly package.
First unveiled in Paris, the model is fitted with a 650cc V-Twin engine, which benefits from a fuel injection system.
