I am looking to trade my 2009 Kawasaki Versys for a Suzuki Gladius. My Versys has 3632 miles on it and is in good condition. I am looking for a Gladius with similar mileage and condition, with blue and white colors. Please PM me if you are willing to trade and are in the Knoxville, TN area. The Versys also has barkbuster handguards, skidmarx rear hugger and t-rex spools on it. Larger photos are available on request.

May I offer some friendly advice;

If you want a naked hooligan bike, check out the ER N 6, which got better reviews
:cheers:

Can't imagine why any one would want to trade off a Versys. But we do have a lot of lookers here hopefully one might just be able to work something out with you.

:goodluck:

edited to add: If it was a fast RED one I am sure it would be already gone...LOL

Actually test rode a gladius before the versys but imho the versys is streets ahead of the gladius in just about everything.

Don't make a stupid mistake such as this! You might want to check out the reviews of the Gladius and the reviews of the Versys. There is no comparison. I would stick with the Versys and bag the Gladius.

I wouldn't be so harsh using words like "stupid". He wants what he wants? Nothing stupid about that. Everytime I replaced "the perfect bike for me" with another "perfect bike for me" no one dared to question my judgement expecially the guy buying my old perfect bike......In the end it's all good.

I agree Josh. Different strokes for different folks. I also checked out the Gladius, but in the end, decided it was not for me. But in the end, it is the right bike for some, if it makes them happy. That's all that really matters - Riding what makes you happy.

Doesn't sound like he's looking for advice. he's looking to trade something he has for something he wants.:exactly:

Agreed.

Lilerd, good luck in your trade I hope it works out for you. I retract the words I mentioned earlier and I am sorry for comenting such. I guess what I was trying to say was that for me, I personally wouldn't trade, yet for you that might be a perfect fit riding the Gladius. I know you shouldn't have a problem on selling the V.

With all due respect, shouldn't you post this on a forum where people own the Galdius? Does anyone on this forum even own one?

I was wondering the same thing! No polar bears in Costa Rica 'cept at the zoo....

Looks like at least one moved to the Left Coast...LINKY

Hahaha...hadn't seen that. Great marketing!

Makes sense to me to post this here. People looking to buy a Versys would be looking here. And who knows one of them may have what he is looking for in trade. Although I do not know but I would bet that he has this posted elsewhere as well.

But that is only my two cents worth.

Actually, that's a good thought. I hadn't looked at it that way, but you're right.:goodidea:

She is gone! Traded for a Ducati Monster S4. Will always have a soft spot in my heart for the Versys.
