Well, we can at least enjoy the silly 404 page that Zero has, while refreshing the http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/zero-rs/ page.

1. I sincerely hope Zero focuses on range rather than nonessentials like ABS

2. The crowd at Indy was more animated during the electric race than during MotoGP (including me)

3. The ONLY justification for a transmission on an ebike IMHO is for racing

I just returned from the Progressive "International" Motorcycle Show and there wasn't an electric vehicle to be found - not even a kid's electric bike like last year.     The only thing moving under electric power at the show was this.

No OSETs??

My dealer has seen the 2014 models this week at a French Zero presentation. But he won't say a word even under hard torture ! Grrrr......

This guy claims to have a pic of a 2014 DS.

"I'm going to wait for the 2014 version to come out mid November because I happen to be there when there was a 2014 Zero DS just sitting in the "show room". It had new shocks, new gauge cluster, new battery cowling, new other stuff. The rep didn't give me any technical details as to what has been improved upon but what I saw I liked.  There's a picture of a while (white?) Zero 2014 DS."

That picture was posted before.  Looks like the new side panels are directing air back on to the controller heatsink.

Motorcycle.com is getting excited about what the new 2014 Zeros might bring to the market.  They expect much more power and bigger batteries.  I think they need to read this forum more.

Here's the 2014 FX for posterity.

Notice there are a lot of similarities between the two.

This quote is interesting "But it’s not just a new sportbike in the pipeline, as we’re told there’s also been a focus on the functionality and performance to the current lineup."   I find it unlikely that Zero could keep a completely new model secret but the performance improvement is suggesting a size 6 or similar upgrade?

On the 2014 white DS picture I also reconize as stated somewhere else the Continental ContiEscape tire.
A little thread on this tire to see the pictures (sorry the text is in french):http://www.super-tenere.org/t656-continental-escape

Also in the 2014 white DS picture there is a 2014 black S behind it.

We'll get to crown the "King" of the model speculators!
