I bought one a month or so ago, I wanted one from the first test ride last year, but I couldn't pay $14k for it. With the end of year incentives, I drove out for $10k with a tax break next year. I'm 53 and been riding on the street since I was 15, lots of miles and lots of different bikes. Right now I have a 2008 Triumph Tiger 1050, 2008 Schwinn 150 scooter and 1981 Honda CT110, although none of the others are getting ridden now, the Zero is just too much fun. Most of the mods I've done were with the aid of this forum, a tunnel tail pack, mirror extenders, Fiam Hiway Blaster horn, GPS/Camera/Phone mount, Acerbis hand guards and cup holder (ok, that one I did on my own) for those tea/coffee runs. I have 400 miles on it with Zero problems. I did find out that riding in the HOV lane here in Houston is not a good idea, especially into the wind, it overheated and I had traffic backed up and not happy with my 50MPH and no where to pull over (its a single lane lined with concrete barriers). My work allows me to park inside and set up an area to recharge, pretty neat, even though they didn't have to do that. I've jumped curbs, cut across fields and generally used it to avoid backups, that's one of the neatest things about it IMO. I'll jump in if there's anything I can help with, but with all the expertise here I doubt you'll be hearing from me much.
