I've seen more pics of the SMC and have to say that it's not as ugly as my first impression was. The pic above makes it look that way, if you see the whole bike it looks much better. Saw the same bike in black and couldn't believe it's the same, the plastics look way different.
So the ugliest new bike in my eyes is still the Gladius!
It says a lot about this site that I can insult the look of a bike and not get flogged!
