Buying my first motorcycle - have tried a number of different gas models nothing seemed to really fit the bill for me. Always wanted to try a Zero but the cost is obviously not insubstantial but as soon as I sat on one I knew I had to have one.
This is where I find myself in a bit of pickle with next steps...
I really like the S Model, all below are the ZF7.2
Found a used '13 w/ windscreen and tail case for a good price that I was willing to make work.
Then the of course, end of year sale on demos + CA rebate brings the '18 S to just a little bit more and still carries a warranty.
Then the dealer says he has another '18 w/ a charge tank for just a little bit more still.
From the '13 to the '18 + charge tank is $5K span, which is what I started hoping to spend OTD on a bike at one point.
Any advice on what might be the better way to go would be very much appreciated!
Will certainly be used for fun but primary will be city commuter - work location varies but 30 miles RT would be on the long side.
Cheers!
