I wholeheartedly agree with the aesthetics take there Dwight.
I do really hope that this is a good looking, well engineered bike. Of course judgment will be reserved until the official unveiling.
The point being that is a different bike than the SM/America. I don't want to see something that is just a bigger version of the same thing, or a smaller version of a different thing.
Who knows? Maybe this will change my mind about the next bike (it sounds promising )
