you can top a battery in the same time as
you can top a tank. There's the optional
Quick Charger that takes charge time

on its little idiosyncrasies in the handling
department. Like all the other Zeros I've
ridden in the past, there's still that top-

almost like you're pushing a box over—in
that initial turn-in is slow but once past
the tipping point, the SR will fall into the
bend easily.
(Left) The SR can
be programmed
straight from your
phone, which can
also double as an
extra dash.
