This is what the original email I have from my dealer says:

"Okay, good news, The demo's are all shipping first, so we are going to sell you the one that we're supposed to use for that so you don't have to wait."

Zero told me today they are sending a demo and a showroom bike to this dealership, but it sounds like the demo is going first. I was under the impression (from this website) that the email above must have been a mistake because I heard demos could not be sold, but maybe my dealer is bending the rules (fine by me).

I will be super pissed if I have to wait even longer than the people who got labeled as "pre-sold" because what is the point of me putting in a deposit if I am just waiting for the floor bike that anyone can walk in and buy?

I will keep everyone posted...

There seems to be a lot of misinformation out there.  Hard to tell what is confusion and what is bulls**t.  My dealer originally thought he would be able to sell any bike that was delivered.  He originally told me he was going to get all four bikes at the same time.  He said if he doesn't he will try to get mine first and then give it to me. He asked the rep to send mine instead of the one they had slated for delivery. He was told that the first bike was a demo and could not be sold even if it was the model I ordered.   So in your case, it may be the dealer was confused and ordered wrong.  Hopefully they can rectified it with Zero.  I am not sure of this was the first preorder zero had but it is probably the largest and things are getting a little mixed up.

our demo SR/F Premium arrived today.....and it is AWESOME.....it's so powerful, the front wheel lifts an inch or two at 80mph.  So smooth, so refined, such an upgrade

Come ride it in Austin, Texas.

Great.  I really hope it works out for you.

Premium in Blue.

I put a deposit down on 4/25 after doing a quick test ride which obviously sold me on the spot. Last year I was toying with the idea of a DSR but luckily I waited!
Zero sent me the same email as well last week congratulating me on the purchase and therefore being part of an elite group 
I stopped by my dealer yesterday - asking about dates I did not get an answer I feel adds anything of value to the discussion... Let's just wait and see, I love suspense!

My pre-order went in March 6th.
I just stopped by my dealer the other day.  They said they've had their demo unit for a little over a week.  They had absolutely no news on when I could expect mine.  Originally they said mid may.  No idea where I fall in line. 
It was really neat to get to see in person.  I didn't ride it, though.  Had a time constraint.  Bike looks amazing.

My dealer also said that Zero explicitly told them not to sell their demo bike.  That they wouldn't be able to get another.

I'm pretty sure Zero reads the forum from time to time.

There is a Zero only forum here that gets very little activity.

What does it look like with a Top Case on it?

I don't see a top case mount for the SR/F on the Zero website.

They don't show any of the sr/F accessories on the,website yet, but there,is a picture floating around on here showing mount with a Shad top case. Zero is just slow updating the store. Maybe waiting till bike is actually on the road.

[GaryArt1]

So on Facebook it appears someone has picked up "their" SR/F yesterday.  It will be interesting to see how this plays out.  Either the post is bull, the dealer sold a demo bike which he shouldn't have, Zero made a shipment mistake or the customer orders are starting to be fulfilled.  Of course I hope it is the last one but it is hard to believe with most dealers still having no idea when our bikes our shipping and some not even having their demos yet.

Or he is a dealer who got his demo bike and is referring to it as 'his'.

Actually he posted about going for a test ride a little while back so I doubt he is a dealer.  He hasn't posted again so I am wondering if something is not kosher.

Another premium blue ordered.  Might have just went with the standard but was told they wouldn’t ship until next year.  Either way likely will be a long wait....
