Guys it's just a rear brake reservoir 100%

It's the Oscillation Overthruster.
Ah man.  Now I know it will be very expensive with one of those.  ;)

Read a good number of comments and agree with a good number of them. Here's my 2-cents no one asked for:

Re: no one beats them in their price range. An Energica Eva is $2k more than an SR with ChargeTank and less than $1k more than an SR with PowerTank. The PowerTank model them becomes $2k more expensive than the Energica to add after market Level 2 (something that should be standard on all EVs) that still does not match the DC charge time on the Energica.

I have had numerous and repeatable issues with the SR battery getting too hot to charge after light touring/prolonged highway use on hot southern summer days. If the new platform still has a sealed battery, they cannot be called a technology leader.

They are late to the traction, cruise, and advanced ABS games. Let's hope they have studied the others and improved or at least matched their abilities.

If commuting and light touring is your game, Energica is already ahead here. I know not everyone has a widespread deployment of CCS, but that's not going to be the case in at most 2-years time. Two coast to coast CCS routes will be in full operation by July 1, or did we all forget about Electrify America? DC is a necessity these days, anything sold without it is already outdated off the lot.

And please baby Zeus let the SR/F have Level 2 standard on it... HD was stupid (or it may be a nickel and dime accessory option) to omit it on LiveWire.

These are my opinions, I'm sure many will disagree.

kcfoxie good points and anyone who has at least rode an electric motorcycle and all who own them have very valid if sometimes different opinions.

One thing though from their website, an EVA base model is listed for $21,650 and a Zero SR wPT is like $19,390.  Dealer pricing will vary but that's the list.
I wish there were more of both out there and we could get some good natured side by side videos.
A 150 mile ride/safe race to see who gets there first would be fun, DC charging vs more battery on a lighter bike.

A lot of people think the SRF is aimed at the Livewire but to me it's always been the Eva.

Electric mobility is not yet ready for long distances if you don't want to leave your comfort zone yet.

It is still the 24th in Scotts Valley, California.  Come back in about 12, or more, hours.   ;)

I watched a few Swiss Moto 2019 videos and I saw the Zero area at the bottom of the escalator but the guy doing the video didn't go over there.  :( 
All well sometime tomorrow.

I think they go by PST! So you will have to wait until the 26th for the news.

BTW, welcome to the forum.

It is now 7am PST on the 25th of February, 2019.  I wonder when the Zero marketing staff arrives at work?

Maybe offer a fairing option that would increase range and comfort. And offer an upright rider position. You know, things that many moto riders demand and ICE motos have offered for decades.

As much as I want this to happen, the teased outline does not support this.

It is a little ludicrous that they have been teasing the SR/F for months now and no where can you find what time they are going to reveal it.  I’m getting a little tired of it.  Just show the thing already.
