Thanks for the sound advice everyone. I'll be sure to contact Zero and their competitors to ask about how they would handle a warranty in my case. While I would like to purchase a new one as I will likely own it for a while, I see the advantages of going used. Specifically, getting a bike that has "all the dust shaken out of it".
The next hurdle is to find a good condition used FX and dealing with an out-of-state purchase. There is one for sale not far from where I live but it is a dirty looking 2014 for $8500. Anyone here done a long distance purchase on a car/bike and had it shipped to you? I'm not 100% sure how to go about this as I have read conflicting reports online about paying via wire transfer, cashiers check, or through a business such as eBay or CycleTrader. Seems like a risky shot-in-the-dark and I'd like to do my best to minimize the chances of either getting ripped off or running into the idiosyncrasies of long distance purchases.
Aloha,
Noah
