"Much more than a new model, the Zero SR / F is a completely new platform, the Zero SR / F combines state-of-the-art technology with
the most powerful powertrain ever produced by Zero Motorcycles," says official spokesman .
"Zero Motorcycles announces the imminent arrival of a new machine. The SR / F born of a blank sheet is presented as the
'biggest leap in brand since its inception', the appointment is set at the end of February."

The one above is referenced as a quote from an official spokesman. Am I looking at the wrong places, or is it really not on Zero's website or anywhere in English? Are these other sites making stuff up, are they leaking information that's supposed to be close-hold, or is this all done with a purpose?
With a 2018 that fits my needs, I'm not on the market to buy anything. However, I'd love to test ride one.
Updated list:
1. Handgrips look upgraded
2. LED headlight
3. Red stripe on tank - where have I seen that before recently? Looks like there's also a red version with white stripe.
4. Something looks strange/different to me about the fender, but with just the one angle, I can't quite place it.
5. The display is different, or it's got a new plastic cover.
6. Traction control
7. Cornering ABS
8. More power and torque -> higher top speed
It's not much of a stretch to guess that this will carry a premium price tag. It's probably not a coincidence that the electric Harley starts taking pre-orders this month. I'll wager the SR/F will have little things to match the LiveWire like color display and a good chance at bigger things like fast charge capability.
