Earlier this month, we told you Zero was teasing a new motorcycle called the SR/F and that was about all we know. Well, this photo released today tells us a bit more.
The teaser shot from Zero shows what seems to be yet another naked bike, contrary to rumours. Interwebz gossip said Zero might be about to finally debut a battery-powered superbike, but no, this appears to be yet another unfaired motorcycle. Not super-thrilling, since Zero’s been building these now for a long time, and we haven’t been officially tipped any wild horsepower or range specs. Asphalt & Rubber has reported the new machine’s battery pack will be in the 20 kWh range, which should work out to just about 200 km of mixed urban/highway riding, and an electric motor making about 120 hp. As well, A&R says the SR/F will get cornering ABS, improved gauges over the rest of the Zero lineup, and will have an MSRP that would work out to more than $30,000 CAD.
But, maybe they’ll make us all flip our collective wigs when the bike is unveiled February 25, with tales of increased range and tire-shredding torque. We’ll see! As always, we remain hopeful …
I’ve been waiting yeeeaaars for a “batter-powered superbike”, attach a cooling rack/cage… somewhere, and you’ve got doughnuts, or pancakes or any other of the many batter based foods waiting for you at the end of your ride. The possibilities are endless!!
Quit waffling, what do you really want?
You guys, everybody knows they make batter-powered superbikes in the yeast….
Wow who would have thought zero would bring out a naked bike.
Isn’t this the bike entered in the Pikes Peak hill climb?
