Suzuki Gladius
Other than suspension action similar to a wet noodle the Gladius is a fine streetbike. When a motor has this much character it's funny how shortcomings like the soggy suspenders become tolerable. Then again, suspension upgrades and a pipe would make this the perfect bargain blaster. I'll take the Suzuki.

The cool looking rotors just aren't enough. Better pads and lines are a must.

Kawasaki ER-6N
While engine performance is on par with its rival, the inherent nature and equally bland sounds of the parallel twin do nothing to stir the soul. The pancake flat torque curve is great on the street, but leaves you wishing for an equally stout top-end hit. Despite a taste of vanilla the ER-6n is every bit as good as the Gladius.
