I purchased my 2014 FX 5.7 just last week. The Aprilia RSV-R was a great bike, but this one here.....is better all around for me. I love the idea of no more premium fuel and the additives that must come with it. Buying the bike gave me instant celebrity status, as you must have already experienced. Like you, I hope Zero has ironed out any reliability problems as I use this bike for commuting 36 miles up and down hills. and no, no warm-up, just switch on and go.   Central USA here.

Hello,
I recently purchased a 2014 Zero FX 5.7 just for commuting. I replaced an Aprilia RSV-R, which was a great bike, but way fast and getting more and more uncomfortable each day. (not the bike's fault, just getting older).

    The FX has a range of 70/city max, but I ride section line roads. I get just short of 50 miles. I have access to an outdoor outlet at work and until they tell me not to, I shall plug in every day so I can "play" on the way home.

   The torque  (70 ft/lbs.) is fabulous and the speed (85 max.) is all I'll ever need. I love the idea of never buying premium fuel and wondering what sort of mechanical poisons are in there. Electricity is just electrons. No government-mandated B.S. or "pollution-reduction" additives that don't do anything but feed someone's personal agenda.

     No cooling system, transmission, transmission fluid, engine, engine oil, clutch, clutch actuating system, valve adjustments, exhaust-ANYTHING. What is not to like?
