It has very pretty pictures and is quite positive.  Just in time for the 2015's to come out...   ;)

Not a bad story. He's obviously a little confusulated by the battery configurations, but he got most of it right, and he does a good job of conveying the overall joy that these bikes are to ride.. I'm glad to see that he downplayed the "lack" of horsepower, and emphasized the monster torque. I'm tired of the SR being compared to middleweight bikes -- as he says in the article, there ain't nothing with an exhaust pipe that beats the SR off the line.

I agree.  A decent review, even if much of the bike's description was picked up off of Zero's promotional information.   ;)
