I would like to get another street bike and don't want to deal with building it. So a new Zero SR seems to be one obvious choice. I might go ride one tomorrow. Talk me out of it. Here are some arguments I've already come up with for and against:
Cons:
--expensive. you can buy some pretty trick gas bikes for that money
--superior, quiet belt drive can break unexpectedly with debris and chain replacement is noisy and requires regular maintenance (this concern may be really overblown)
--Quick but not going to impress the busa boys down the strip
Pros:
--Lack of top end keeps me from getting in too much trouble while still giving reasonable headroom on highway
--Quiet, stealthy, fun
--Reduced maintenance
