Post by: skadamo on October 30, 2008, 11:37:15 PM

Saw this last night...

And this article reminded me...

Zero X specs from the horses mouth...

Zero has more specs and pics of the 2009 Zero X. 

Some things I notice from the pics:
- swing arm appears to have more style and some engineering changes. 
- Frame has a darker grey finish
- Rear / side number plate is restyled
- Addition of a front number plate / fairing

Was talking to @Bluewolf2072 (http://twitter.com/Bluewolf2072) about the look of the bike.  What do you think of my alterations (buchering) of the battery placement?  I think it gives the bike a more agressive look.

I'm sure Zero would be rolling thier eyes if they saw this :D
