Buy a pre-reg one, I did. You’ll save a packet. I’ve had numerous Hinckley Triumphs, Benellis, Moto Guzzi Griso and Sports, Honda VFR 750s and lately a VMAX 1700. I can honestly say my SR/S is the best of the lot. I’ll never go back to an ICE bike. You really have to ride one to understand how fantastic they are. Just wish I could have got my hands on one of these 20 years ago. It won’t take long until they get more affordable and with longer ranges. For me I got a great price and get around 130+ miles range, which is 40 miles more than the VMAX! Makes me a very happy boy indeed!

I have one of these I've done 5,000 miles on it, had it 4months and spent less than £5 on fuel, ops electric. Tesco's electric is free and there's zero road tax. So far.

Mark just so you know, using the app allows the creation of a custom riding mode where you choose parameters. Among them are Torque and Power. In the factory programmed Sport Mode you were using, these are not set to 100%. More like 80% or some such. To feel the full power you have to create a custom mode, set power and torque to 100%, and set traction control also to "Sport". Perhaps if you turned traction control off it might even be faster thatn that, but I dare not try it. Ive been daily riding my 2020 SRS since Sept 2020.

I think this machine is now at the top of my "must try" list and the only thing I'm a little concerned about is the availability of charging stations when out on a longer run. Also how did you find the lack of engine noise and clutch? One final general point is I'd like if you could show any storage on the bikes you review as I always carry my disc-lock with me and suitable under-seat storage is very handy.

Really like the look of this bike and doesn't it go well. Shame Zero don't do a bright red one, i.e. a red that was on the final gen Honda VFR800 or a Ducati Panigale bright red, then it would be really awesome. Sounds like it has similar power and torque of Triumph's rip your arms off and snap your neck fast Rocket 3. I might have to go a long to Zero to try one. Was this an organised test day with other motorcycle hacks? £2 /charge seems very reasonable. So basically the cost to charge the battery from flat is 10% of the corresponding cost to fill a petrol bike fuel tank? The saving on a fuel is huge. Also tax. I guess there is no VED to pay as it's electric. How many discharges and charges can the battery take before it's performance is reduced so much so it's scrap and time for a new battery??

This is kind of the perfect example of a "nobody asked for this" kind of bike. It's a bike that mimics a sport/sport-touring motorcycle, but doesn't have the range or "refueling" times to make it a bike you can take to the twistie country or mountain roads with your other buddies. While your recharging your bike (if you can find a charging station in the middle of nowhere) your buddies are out riding, forgetting you even came along. If you intend to ride it as a sport-touring bike, you're in the same bind. Why would i spend £21 000 for something that's This unpractical, when i get a new 1000+cc supersport RR bike or a new top spec 1000+cc sport-touring machine for less money? I would much rather get 2 of the the newest Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX for almost the same price £10 999 each. I guess that's why i've yet to see a single Zero (or any other brand) electric motorcycle outside the city. They just aren't really ready for the real world yet. 💖💖👏🏼👏🏼

Is there nothing to be said about the different (one could say, lack of) character in such a quiet, smooth bike which presents no challenge to master?

If manufacturers and the tree huggers are that concerned about saving the planet they should go back to analogue clocks, work out windows, remove the heated seats, remove the air con and make them a manual transmission - it would increase the range.

Half the price and twice the range, and faster recharge, and I will have one.

200 miles isn't bad though as most sports bikes have only about 130.. But...where are the charge stations...and what if there's a queue.? Could have to wait hours..

@@billwhite8479 That's pretty much my point, as you might have to wait for ages to recharge, you need an excellent range so that you can get to your destination. Of course, once you have got a space, you then have perhaps another 90 minutes to wait for it to charge. If you are my age, you are only too happy to get off your sports bike after a hundred or so miles!

@@billwhite8479 I think the charge stations are dotted all over the place like garages , shopping centers ,etc but they need 1000s more to keep up with the future demand Cheers mark

Worse - 200 miles is for urban riding; country/motorway is more like a 100 - that's Firestorm / Harley range at best...

I'm not sure it's great use of tax payers money giving 1500 quid towards these rich boys toys.

I don't like noisy bikes, but I find a bike with no exchaust sound to be rather boring, and the price, not worth half that.

In ten years the battery will be no good- 70mile range at best but probably failed completely. A replacement will be perhaps £5000 maybe £6,7,8000 EVs are only good if you lease them. EV cars and bikes is all total hype. Long term they're the same cost to run as petrol because of the expensive battery life, except that we paid £19,000 and after 10 years it will be worth £500. Forget the big "EVs are cheap to run" push - try some mathematics
