Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Range at 80-85 MPH? Overheating probability?
« on: January 27, 2016, 01:17:50 AM »
I'm in TX where the speed limit is 80~85 MPH on my 65 mi. (round trip) commute. I travel almost the entire route at that high speed. My current ride is an SV650 which averages about 40 MPG under these circumstances.
I'm considering a 2016 Zero SR.
Does anyone have experience with a similar situation? What would the expected range be at a continuous 80 MPH?
Zero's website estimates the SR's range at a constant 70 MPH to be 81 mi. for ZF13 and 98 mi. for the ZF13+PT. I'm certain the additional 10~15 MPH would make a significant dent in those estimates.
What's the probability that it'd overheat in this situation? It is Texas and it not uncommon to see 100+ F in the summer.
I'm hoping the new SR would be a viable choice but I'm not confident.
Thanks, Paul.
