I'm surprised the SV650 wasn't included. It is just as fast as the Shiver, if not faster, yet it weighs quite a bit less.

Probably because there's no recent model of it, therefore, if they were going to include a naked Suzuki it would have to be the Gladius. Maybe they felt the bike as a whole wasn't in the same league
