It is advisable to only buy 2013+ because Zero no longer can get parts for 2012 bikes if something needs to be replaced.
Really? Wow. That can't fill buyers with confidence. Four years old and your shiny expensive bike could be unrepairable junk! Who knows if that'll happen to current models.
This was the case starting in 2013. They made changes to the components to work with a different voltage and committed to it. They will support their 2013+ bikes completely and this is not something that is likely to repeat now that they produce bikes in significantly larger quantities.
