Bummer! Last year I got the 2020 model line up email from Zero on the 18th, was hoping the same for this year. Well if they are holding out until October, they at least have something new to show.

I remember reading an article last year where a journalist was told by Zero there would be 2 big announcements this year, one in ~April and one mid year. The SR/S was the first, I'm curious what the second is.

Can you say if it is a big deal or not?

My wild guesses...

B - Battery
N - Navigation
G - Backup "Gear"

99.9% chance I'm wrong

I thought it meant there will be new models, but they will "Be Nothing Good" ;D

I hope the G doesn't mean they're going to jump on the gearbox bandwagon. B is most likely going to mean a battery capacity bump which I think we all expected. For N the only other thing I can think of except navigation is noise, either something silly like a speaker or chain drive/reduction gearbox.

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

Searching Urbandictionary yielded unsatisfactory (NSFW) results.

Further reference: https://www.rideapart.com/articles/300081/ask-rideapart-bikes-new-every-year/
""Sometimes, though, so-called new models simply get the BNG treatment. BNG is an acronym for 'Bold New Graphics.' Offer some new colors, and maybe change the name as in the case of the Yamaha MT-07, -09, and -10, and some people will jump all over them because they think they're new. These are great bikes, but despite the new lipstick, they're exactly the same bikes as last year.""
