I pulled the plug (pun intended). Bought my Zero S 11.4 today. LOVE IT! It shall be called Pikachu, after the all electric Pokemon.

Awesome Nukie, looks great, I'm jealous.
I'm also a bit shocked, I figured after CO dropped the tax rebate you'd give up!

[BSDThw]

Have fun with your new bike, I am jealous too!

BTW
Take care with your open shoestring!
I will not impress if you stop with tangled shoestrings and topple down

Paul, CO dropped the tax rebate? I was not aware of that. This doc seems to indicate the the credit would be available through 2016...

That doc is dated 2/12.  Check out this one dated 12/12:

Did the dealer talk about rebates?

Congrats, welcome, I'm jealous! 

[mehve]

I just about keeled over.  I wish I was as clever with naming.   Mine is all black and Darth Zero seemed apt for the existing geometry.

Shoot. Oh well.... No the dealer did not mention tax rebates at all. I did the math on my taxes this year to see what the rebate would have been and though the credit had been up to $6,000, I would have only qualified for a much smaller amount. I have no regrets, however. Hopefully I can still get something back from Federal.

The federal 10% credit should still apply for all bikes bought in 2013.

[Nukie]

Thanks protomech. Good to know.

Looks great nukie.  No doubt you'll have a ball.

Anyone else thinking that the 2013 bikes could really do with having the side stand and pillion footpegs powdercoated black?

[nicktulloh]

Little things like that really stick out. I got the passenger peg kit for my '12 DS and the freaking pegs are cheap chrome. Talk about an eyesore.

Third day of commuting and I cannot stop grinning! The bike and riding have been just amazing. I do agree, now that you mention it, the kickstand should be black. It would complete the look.

Question about regen braking: Does the regen kick in when I let off on the throttle, or only when I apply the brakes?

[NoiseBoy]

Its both,  you get some regen when you let off the throttle.  Then when you apply the brakes a second higher level of regen kicks in.  I find that when i feather the rear brake I only hear the pads grazing the disk and its actually the motor slowing me down.
