for me a FXSR
a FXS with the engin and controleur of the SR
better breaks 4 piston radial at the front
Wheel rim which accepts tire in 150 at the back to have more choices of tire
and 10kwh of the FXSR

good night have a nice dream

[Hansi]

I have one major hope for the 2018 models: Possibility to charge faster. A quick (~1C) charging option, DC or 11/22kW AC (Mennekes on European models). If they add this I'll be buying a 2018 model, if not I'll wait another year or for another manufacturer to offer the same.

1C charging with DigiNow SC v2 is already an option as I'm sure you're aware of

As some of our dreams for 2017 became real (wider belts/locks on tanks/better paint) so may some of our  dreams for MY18 take the same way !

- 7.5 and 15Kwh capacities at same weight as no improvement this year
- on board 2Kw chargers
- parking brake on when lowering side stand
- left hand regen brake (no action on pads, just more regen, switching stop light too)
- 160 rear tire 
- noise of your choice bellow 30Km/h (requirement by NHTSA before September 1st, 2019, so for MY18 switchable)
- reverse mode < 5km/h for easier parking
- shorter turning radius
- USB port in all front storage
- Full LED lights option

AND 2 totally new models : 

      Enduro/MX model: R engine with better suspension, more travel, exterior quick charger, chain kit, 120Kg max, 2hours of action

      Commuter : eq 125cc (car license in European countries), more scooter like, with windshield and fairing , with bigger storage  to fit 1 jet helmet  in the tank area  (battery not as high, 10Kwh is enough)+ smaller storage under seat (14" or 15" wheels to get space),  BUT good handling to step on Tmax and C evolution huge market.

+1 on the FXSR.

I want a "ludicrous mode" where we're allowed to have more power from standstill. The FXS should be a wheelie monster but it isn't. Would it be so hard to let us create our own power maps? With a disclaimer beforehand, of course.

bigger battery around 15kw/h (when no power tank) 18+ kw/h with power tank
reverse
variable regen on left lever
onboard 3.6kw/h charger (not in the power tank area) with 2 connectors, J1772 for full 3.6kw/h and same connector as now (on the side) for 1.5-2kw/h off a standard wall plug.

My dream for 2018?  That my 2016 S continues to be as reliable and fun as it has been so far.  Also, availability of an aftermarket, add-on fairing.

[nevetsyad]

Energica Ego or sub 20K Lightening with CCS charging.

Exactly what I was going to write. I would just add that a fairing would be nice.

For you guys wanting a FXSR no need to wait.

As for 2018.
1.  15 kWh monolith
2.  Diginow charger 3.3 as the on board charger replacement.
3.  New larger "tank" with more, and fully usable space "usable horns"
4.  Gel seat, at least an option.
5.  120 MPH

[Richard230]

For me it is a larger battery pack and a softer seat. 

[Electric Terry]

Yes seems like we all want the same thing pretty much

progressive regen with left hand brake lever
reverse switch to do even 1 mph would come in handy so many times
faster 3C charging capable batteries and tapered firmware to communicate CAN to chargers (so it can charge 3C at low SOC 0-30% and taper to 2C from 30-70% and 1C 70% or above)
fairing and aerodynamics would help so much
onboard 3 kW charger that can be increased to 6 kW in the stock under battery location to leave the tank open for everyone to get a powertank if they want.
And the automatic rear brake with the kickstand sounds nice too, but I think Zero has a right hand parking brake I just haven't used it myself yet

variable regen on left lever

I have already decided I cannot ride another EV without this feature and I will do all the hacking I need to to get it ... it is just too valuable for me having had it for a while now.

Several calls for a faring have been laid out ... this is why I keep asking for a highway scooter similar in style to the TMAX / Burgman's as it would by default have better aerodynamics and likely range. :/

There is a brake lever you can buy which has a built in "parking brake" which simply keeps the brake lever depressed when activated. These have been around for a while and would likely be a good compromise between "automatic" options.

I am also all for faster charging ... coupled with good aerodynamics and you have a touring bike for sure.

BETTER PRICING.  Doesn't anyone wonder why prices have not gone done.  Battery costs are down 60-70%, but Zero Motorcycles are actually more expensive today than in 2014!  I just sold mine to buy an Energica Ego.  Twice the price, but ten times the bike and I can fast charge!

[BrianTRice@gmail.com]

I'll agree with the above, and add:

A tank storage option for when you have a Power Tank or Charge Tank.

A low front fender for the DS/R and low rear tire hugger.

Again, a lower belt guard.
