Motorcyclist Online reviews the Zero SR/S
« on: October 13, 2025, 07:57:24 PM »

I just viewed Adam Waheed's review of the Zero SR/S on Motorcyclist Magazine's website and I can't help but think that there was something wrong with the bike he tested.  For one thing, he claimed the 17.3kWh battery was only good for about 50 miles, but he CLAIMED he wasn't abusing it. My 2020 SR/F with only a 14.4kWh battery is good for well over 100 miles of combined riding (actual real world experience). He also said it made only 100 lbs/ft of torque, but Zero claims 140 lbs/ft and when Cycle World (their sister publication) put an SR/F (same motor) on their dyno they recorded 146 lbs/ft of torque at the rear wheel. He also kept calling it a "Sport Bike" when realistically it's more of a Sport Tourer due to the more relaxed riding position compared to the SR/F. I'd give his review a C- though he was generally positive in his review in general.

tbh it was a crap review, and terribly presented. Is he on speed or something? Constant repetition, rambling, most of the facts entirely incorrect (and these facts being the critical facts)... waste of my time watching it. Zero must be spitting feathers.
