Hi All
ive just seen a second hand Zero on ebay uk
does anybody think this is a fair price ?
or should i just stump up the money for a new one ?

[alexanderfoti]

Looks to be quite a good price. I have just paid around £13,000 for a 2016 Zero SR, so its basically lost 50% of its value in 3 years.

That's what i was thinking .
thanks for that.
i;m going to see it early next week.Apparently it is in Birmingham in the dealership

Would it be Big #1 Motorspors?  That is where I think I got a good deal.  Prices are inflated here in California and shipping is cheap with Uship.


I paid $12,000 out the door (all fees included) for a Zero SR 12.5 last year for a last years  (2015) demo model with 800 miles on it.

Its going to be more expensive now that the value of the pound against the dollar has fallen.

I looked it up earlier today... While it has fallen, until 1 pound is less than 1 dollar, its too high for me. today its 1 dollar = 1.32 british pounds.
I want some cheap british stuff dammit. lol

Wont happen for a long long long time!

[nobodiesnobody]

that's true
and I will not be holding my breath on any grant coming soon to help buy a new electric bike either
thanks for your comments I think I know what to do 

[alexanderfoti]

I didn't, After the referendum, I figured that the grant would never come. I placed my order just before the vote, so lucked out somewhat.

I visited my local Triumph dealer last Saturday.  They told me that Triumph had raised the prices on their new Bonneville models $200 over what had been announced earlier this year.  So don't expect any European motorcycle manufacturer to drop U.S. prices due to the devaluation of the pound or euro any time soon. They will be taking that extra profit all the way to the bank - if they can find one that is still open, that is.

bah. You dont save money by buying anything from a US motorcycle dealer. They're just middlemen from an obsolete sales model that needs to die.
Besides, all the really cool UK stuff is made by some guy in his shop. There is some serious fabrication talent in the UK.
