On these new 2014  the 75-7 motor have no cooling added , it just have new high temp magnets.

The size 6  and 3.3sec would be really impressive !! wow!

Indeed! I do not need any more torque for what I do with my Zero. That is a racing spec.

Notably, they advertise the rear tire as having a width of 140 for a wider contact patch. I'll bet that's linked to the torque, otherwise I'd feel skittish on that!

That is too much torque for me. That bike makes as much torque as a Honda Goldwing and it is carrying a whole lot less weight.  I wonder if the belt drive is up to the task of transmitting that amount of torque?  I'll bet the 140 size tire will be easy to smoke - especially if it is still a Road Whiner.   ::)

I think this bike is primarily made available to gain street cred in the motorcycle world.  Zero knows that nobody really *needs* that much torque on a bike that light.  However, having a performance vehicle that badass will get a lot of attention, but most people will probably figure out that the original spec (with the size 4 controller) is plenty of bike for any riding off of race tracks. 

With that said, I am totally lusting for an RS!  :-) 
I rode the one that Harlan made a while back and it is totally amazing!

The independent racers would love to field the SR against other electric racing competitors. If the Zero SR starts to win races then Zero will win minds.

RS needs a 180 rear tire to put that much torque down.

I would like to ride one!
