Radiant Suzuki Gladius

The supermoto kit is neat, but is not the coolest thing about this motorcycle; it glows in the dark!

Has the Suzuki Gladius found a form that truly lives up to its combative name?


Well, maybe not, but it's got glow in the dark wheels, which is pretty cool.


Italian GP Design has worked its modifying magic on Suzuki's 645cc motorcycle, creating an interesting supermoto design.


Some of the changes to the customised bike include a motard-style front mudguard, the addition of a bashplate, new handlebars with handguards, plus a new seat section finished in suede and a fancy-pants exhaust system.


The major talking point of this modified Suzuki Gladius, however, are the wheels and handguards, which have been coated in a luminescent paint to give them glow-in-the-dark properties. Check out the second photo to get an idea of it's radiance.


Is Italian GP Design's glowing idea just a dumb gimmick, or the coolest innovation since disc brakes? You be the judge...
