Thanks Lolachampcar for the well thought out reply.

Looking forward to following this thread.  Obviously I missed the fact that you can buy components.  Can someone start a new thread with those details if this is not the right place.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Negotiating the Purchase of a new Zero

Any feedback on prior experience of negotiating the purchase of a new Zero?  Are most being sold at list?  Any chance of getting a discount?  How much dealer profit is there at list?

Marshm - thanks for your comments.

NoiseBoy - basically I would like as much information, including long term realiability as I can get.  This is not the same as buying a used 250 4 stroke off CL,  If I am going to pay $11,000 for a toy that will drop half its value in a year, I want to know it will last and serve my purposes since I will have it for a while.

Another problem is that I am 3 hours from the nearest dealer.   The good news is that about 2 hours away there is an e-motocross park that rents MX's.  I am going to talk to them about their experience with the bikes and probably head over to try them out.

Thanks for the help.  I will PM mx-man.  Although I am not sure that a 2011 review will compare to a 2012, much less a 2013, but it is a starting point.  This type of vehicle fits my needs perfectly, but want to make sure I am making the right decision.  I am typically not an early adopter and hate being ahead of the bell curve.

I think your comments on the models other than MX make sense, but with the MX, it seems that the market is even more strange.  I have yet to see comments on this forum on folks using these on a regular basis.  I am trying to decide to spring for an MX, a KTM Freeride E if it ever comes to market, or wait for the Brammo Encite or Engage.

I have seen the videos, but I have yet to find anyone who actually owns one.  I would like to find someone on a forum or elsewhere to chat with.

Also, does anyone know why the value of these bikes seems to tank.  I have seen 2011 MXs for as low as $5,000.  Hard pill to swallow to spent $10,000 new and 11,500 if you get the 5.7.

All comments are welcome.

Does anyone have experience with the MX?  I am looking for something to ride in a residential setting that won't disturb the neighbors. Will the MX disappoint?

Does anyone have an MX or its predecessor?  I am looking for something to be able to ride motocross in a residential area without disturbing the neighbors. I am inclined to wait for the KTM since they have more experience building dirt bikes, but would be curious to hear some real world feedback.

Thanks
