The best electric motorcycle of 2017

That is what motorcycle.com calls the Zero SR/DR.  Of course, it doesn't have much competition right now:

I recently took my '15 SR in for the so called 20 minute firmware update, and it ended up taking around 7 hours.  Hap's Cycle Sales was awesome and loaned me a 2017 Zero S for the day.  I had ridden a 2014 S model back when I was purchasing the '15 SR, and holy crap there is a massive difference between the two models.  I'm sure my SR would beat the '17 S model in a drag race, but the "seat of the pants" feeling was virtually identical.  It has truly come a heck of a long way in 3 years.
