After doing my due diligence of research, both here and elsewhere. I've decided to take the plunge and buy a Zero bike. I'm stuck between 2 options however:
A shiny new 2019 FXS7.2 from the dealer, costing around $11500 after taxes+licensing
Or a preowned 2017 FX5.6with 700 miles for $8200 .
Both available at the same dealer.
My commute is generally 35 miles round trip, but I do visit family frequently which are about 35 miles away. (I also have a truck as other, less fun, means)
I will be riding mostly street and likely in rain, so I would prefer the wider tires of FXS. Obviously the new bike includes all warranties, and the used still has its battery warranty for a 2 years.
I wondering if any of you all could help me weigh in on this decision.
Components-wise they seem to be essentially the same bike. The warranty, street tires, and range of the new one would be great. But is it worth the extra 3k?
