Talked to a dealer in northern CA who said they'd ordered 4 bikes (2 demos and 2 to sell) and had been told originally that they'd get them May 1st.  When that date came and went, they talked to zero and were told it would now be by June 1st, and that they were "a couple hundred bikes behind" in production.

Also, just got an email from zero's mailing list this morning saying they were "now shipping", so I guess things are moving?

Sorry to say, do not read into the email from Zero.  On April 8th we go the email that the SR/F is “coming off the line”.  We all thought it was close then.  We all know they are shipping, shipping demos to dealers.  When the first bikes make it into customers hands no one know being Zero is keeping it a secret.  So when I say there should be more communication from Zero, I don’t mean worthless emails from the marketing division.

My local dealership has a demo bike as of last weekend and is getting a second bike today I believe. I have an appointment to test-ride the demo this Saturday.
I've had two Zero bikes, a '12 ZF9 and a '15 SR - loved both and am amazed at the rapid rate of improvement from one generation to the next.
I would love to get a new bike this year (and I feel loyal to Zero- they've done right by me for seven years now), but definitely want to test-ride both the Zero SR/F and the Lightning Strike before deciding.

Just got an email from Hollywood Electrics.  Seems if you order today, they are talking delivery sometime in July.  I guess Zero got more preorders than expected and are really behind.  I hope the early preorders deliver this month sometime.

we just got notice our demo is finally shipping this week.  We didn't have any pre-sold orders so we were further down the line than some others.   Our showroom bike for stock is shipping sometime in June (not sold yet).  If we sold and ordered one today, they are saying a late July early August delivery.   LOTS of pre-orders is what we've heard.  All good news for Zero!!!!

Another week going down, no word of anyone's pre-orders being filled yet. I dont even want to contact my dealer again at this point, to hear another "hopefully+extra 2 weeks to a month" they keep adding on. If hopefully held any meaning I would have had my bike mid last month. They know nothing, nor do I want a mass market email once a month saying they working on building the bikes from zero. Actual communication with info would have been awesome. The only reassuring thing, is thanks to youtube you can see dealers are gradually getting the demo bikes.

The San Diego dealer was just unpacking their demo SR/F as I coincidentally stopped in to see if they had one yet. I sat on it while it was still strapped to the board. The riding position won’t work for me as it’s even more “aggressive” than my SR which was uncomfortable enough for me.  However, it is a very substantial-looking motorcycle for those wanting a “street fighter”.

Bar risers

I spoke to Zero yesterday and they said late June to July on delivery. 

Not sure how accurate it is, but that is what they told me.  They said the orders have overwhelmed them.

[SRFbiker]

I might get another bike if its july and give them another year to catch up. Just so i dont miss this season with them continuing to slide backwards

[Jarrett]

I guess I should clarify, they said if I order today, it will be June/July. 

Not sure what that means for the folks already in line.

Regarding bar risers, I called Zero and asked this question. They man who answered the phone spoke with the guy who installs the various cables and said an inch or an inch and half may be possible without a lot of drama, but no more.

Theres news for european market from this video (in german)

The Zero manager, cool guy, i met him in person when i tested the SR early this year, claims that 2nd half of may the dealer bikes arrive in EU and shortly after (end of May, early June) the first customer bikes will arrive.
Lets hope he is correct and we can ride the bike in a few weeks

I'm in the same boat.  I could understand and deal with delays if there was good communication from zero to the customers or at least to the dealers. I think my dealer is just saying hopefully "insert week" because he had not heard anything from Zero.  To add insult to injury is the emails saying they are "coming off the line" or "shipping".  This is not giving me a good first experience with zero
