Right, i'm hoping that they atleast offer more/different add-ons. Also is it just me that i see halogen bulb on that 2021 SR? If so this is new i'm assuming.

[TheRan]

Haven't they always been halogen?

One possible change I may have found is the 14.4 non-R models (so not for the American market) have an 18t front sprocket, I seem to remember that only the 7.2s had that before and the 14.4s had the 20t like the R models but I could be wrong. Also I'm pretty sure the 7.2s used to be 33kW (44hp) but they're now listed as 34kW (46hp), however the 14.4 is still 44kW (59hp).

Those are just the 2020 bikes.

This dealer may get a stern talking to for putting this out early.
I do hope there is some more than this, or at the very least a mid summer release of a new model with a covid delay.

The ones on the website are the 2020 bikes? So they've already had these bold "new" graphics for a year?

Oh, but why are they listed as 2021 models? Moreover the current (2020) SR has a black paint with red stripes right?
But yeah there could be a new model announcement (maybe an adventure sport tourer?). I imagine that to be like a cross between SR/S and DSR..

[NEW2elec]

When I go to the Zero site I only see the 2020 bikes.  I don't see any mention of 2021.

The Cycle trader listing I do believe is of a 2021 SR with the classic red as the new color with the black tank markings.  The other CT listing don't show pictures.  I don't think they were allowed to show the SR either but did it anyway.

[TheRan]

Yeah there's no mention of the model year, I just assumed that they were 2021 models as I didn't know the 2020s had the fancy paint jobs too.

[NEW2elec]

Yeah the release of the SRF and SRS got all the press but all those color schemes have been out all year.

So, if that red bike really is a 2021 does that confirm that BNG doesn't stand for bold new graphics as it's the same as the 2020 (just a different colour)? If that's the case we can still be hopeful of something better, although it looks like a battery capacity bump won't be it.

"Bold New Graphics" pretty much says nothing else has changed... so that would be EXACTLY "BNG."

So was AF1 just taking the piss when he said that? Dude could've just said that's nothing's changed, like the 2020s, instead of leaving us all guessing.

BNG sure sounds like Bold New Graphics to me. And that is what I am expecting. 

Sounds like Big New G-Battery to me.

I've been to that Randy's Cycle (Zero Motorcycles dealer in Marengo IL), they are excellent for EV moto. Anyone in state or nearby states with an interest in EV moto should take a trip there. The story goes they had a shop closer to the urban city center and moved everything to the country for nicer roads to demo on.

And it looks like the FX is back to black (and grey).

Hmmmmm... the SR back in red, and the FX back in black.  Maybe I misinterpreted "BNG."  Instead of "Bold NEW Graphics" it really stands for "Bold NOSTALGIC Graphics?"
