My new 2016 zero SR
« on: December 04, 2015, 03:27:08 AM »

I've been reading about Zeros for months now, A dealer here in Las Vegas finally got the 2016 in and I was able to pick it up.

Wow riding a quiet SR through the desert at sunset could give a man enough peace and quiet and inner calm to solve all the worlds problems.

Or just go real fast.

You should share that photo with the Zero Facebook page, great shot.

Nice! Find someone with a 2014 or 2015 SR and race! Then post the results [emoji1]

If there is ever someone else in vegas with one I could do that. I sold my old gsxr 600 to a friend of mine, I might make a video racing him sometime.

   I bought the last Zero that was sold by Carter here in Vegas before they stopped selling them.
I was unaware that they had a new dealer in Vegas. A quick search shows that the new dealer
is less than 10 miles from my house. I may have to take a ride over there on my day off.
I would be happy to race you, but, I am sure that your 2016 would spank my 2013 FX.
We could go riding some time though. It's going to be mid 60s next week, should be nice.
By the way, we have an electric vehicle meeting the 2nd Saturday of the month at
Gaudin Ford at 10 A.M. if you would like to stop by.
Congratulations on your new bike.

I don't think there's much point in racing another SR, but I would sure like to see what you would do to the Gixxer.

Congrats on your new 2016 SR. That top (big) photo would make a good profile photo (notice you don't have one yet). In fact that big photo is stunning!

Thanks grmarks. XM, It's incredible, its lived up to my expectations and I know i'll never be able to go back to a gas bike. Krazyed, depending on my sleep schedule i may be able to make it.

Congratulations David, with your new bike!

I have a '15 DS for 3 months now, and will probably never own a gas bike again.
Enjoy your smooth riding and accelerations over there.
I've been to Vegas 3 times and can imagine riding around.

Greetings from the cold and almost flat Netherlands (nice pics!)

I work in Valet at Green Valley Ranch. If you are ever in the area, swing by.
Also, the forecast is for 70 degrees on Tuesday, I am off then, maybe a ride.

Great photos David and congrats on your Zero!  Once you ride a Zero you will never want to ride a gas bike again! Trust me.  But if you like to take long trips, contact Hollywood Electrics about one of the many fast charging solutions.  The owner, Harlan, is in the Las Vegas Area 3-4 times a month.  But my guess is to get everywhere you want around Vegas you probably won't need it.  Just to let you know it exists if you feel you want to ride up and down the California coast like I believe everyone who has a Zero should experience. ;)   Again great choice on your bike!
