Zero Sr/f
The Zero Sr/f has a top speed of 200 km/h, produces 110 hp and weighs 220 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
The Zero SR/F was introduced in 2019 as Zero Motorcycles' flagship performance electric streetfighter, representing a significant leap in the brand's technology with its new ZF75-10 motor and Cypher III operating system. It was notable for being the first Zero to feature a fully integrated Bosch Motorcycle Stability Control system, including ABS and traction control, bringing it closer to premium combustion-engine competitors. The SR/F established Zero as a serious contender in the performance electric motorcycle segment and has received incremental updates including a Premium variant with enhanced charging capabilities.

What Buyers Should Know
Battery Longevity Matters
The SR/F's Z-Force lithium battery is rated for hundreds of charge cycles but can degrade faster with frequent DC fast charging. Buyers should check the battery health report via the Zero app before purchasing used.
Steep Resale Depreciation
Zero SR/Fs depreciate significantly in the first 2-3 years, often losing 30-40% of their value, partly due to rapid EV technology advancement. This makes used models an excellent value buy for savvy shoppers.
Watch the Charging System
Early SR/F models had reported issues with the onboard charger and occasional software glitches requiring dealer resets. Always verify the bike has received the latest firmware updates before buying.

Used Buyer Review
"Best urban sportbike available if range anxiety doesn't terrify you."
$9,000-$14,000 usedThe SR/F is genuinely impressive tech wrapped in a motorcycle that actually wants to be ridden hard. Torque delivery is instant and addictive — twist the throttle and you're immediately reminded why electric powertrains make combustion engines feel lazy. The chassis is sorted, brakes are Bosch Motorcycle ABS with cornering capability, and the riding modes give you real flexibility. Used examples from 2020-2022 can be found well under original MSRP, which makes the value proposition suddenly compelling. Here's where you need to do your homework though. Battery degradation is real — ask for charge cycle history if the seller has it, and check the Cypher III operating system version. Earlier bikes had software quirks that Zero has patched, so verify it's been updated. Range anxiety is legitimate; real-world spirited riding will land you closer to 70-80 miles, not the headline 161. Charging infrastructure still matters enormously depending on your commute. The 12.5kWh tank doesn't forgive poor trip planning.
