Yamaha's New Gladiator Type SS & RS

Apart from the much hyped Yamaha R15 and FZ, Yamaha displayed new upgraded versions of Gladiator. The Gladiator Type SS (Stylish & Sporty) and Gladiator Type RS (Racing sports). The Gladiator is surely one of the best 125cc in the country and a potential to do much better, with the upgrades the Gladiator looks amazingly stylish and sporty. The new Gladiator would definitely appeal a much younger and wider audience than earlier and hopefully help increase the Yamaha's market share in the country.
