A limited-run Gladius sold through Suzuki dealers in a retro red, black and yellow scheme recalling the 1970s RG500 Grand Prix racers ridden by Barry Sheene, and fitted with a belly pan. It is mechanically the standard Gladius with ABS, and the UK price was about 300 pounds above the standard bike.
