I just traded my SV-650 on a 2015 SR... except the SR's still a pile of parts in Santa Cruz. Hopefully, they'll feed the Factory Gnomes some pizza and coffee and I'll have my new bike soon!

Anyway, I used to commute quite a distance, but for the past couple years I've worked from home, and the SV was NOT liking the 3-5 miles a day. ABS was the killer feature I wanted, as I ride every day, rain or shine, and the ABS on my SV & FJR has already saved my bacon several times.

Actually, that's all fluff and excuses. The honest truth is I test-rode the "S" AND IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE BLAST and I loved it. The moment I saw the 2015 had ABS, I was doing the Snoopy Dance.

I did try the Brammo before the Zero, but I did not care for the transmission... and the seat was *horribly* uncomfortable. Plus the nearest dealer is 185 miles away (and really kinda snooty and uppity)

Thanks to Orlando Yamaha/Kawasaki for not having any hesitation in taking my dough, and being cool enough to do test rides at the drop of a hat!

I was told by the Zero reps that they planned to start the production of the new 2015 models sometime this month.  Note that last year, production of the 2014 bikes commenced the week after Christmas, so they are getting an early start this year.

Congratulations on your purchase, CrashCash.  I am sure you will love your new bike and the chassis improvements should be a big improvement over the 2014 models.  I am sure we all will be looking forward to a review of your new bike when you finally pick it up from your dealer.
