The Gladius replaced the SV650 in Suzuki’s line up. There were a number of changes but the bike is very similar.
The 650 twins like the Gladius are the upper end of what is recommended for beginners.
I still like starting out on a used 250 before deciding to spend serious money a new bigger bike. It is not hard to find a good used 250 for under 2 grand and if you do upgrade you will get nearly all of that back. Being able to buy my first bike with cash really helped seal the deal for me with the concerned wife.
