Zero Engineering bikes ready for AU market

[El Skitzo]

Looks like this new shop in Sydney as finally got all the ADR compliancing done on the range of Zero Engineering bikes they'll be selling.

I hope I get to see one of these in the metal some time soon!

Gasoline Custom Garage - Zero Choppers

oh yes!



If I had the mollah for a bike like this, I would probably change the primary to chain drive, that primary cover just doesn't match the bike IMO.

[BigTim]

Reckon pricing will end up pretty similar the the Saxons?
Nice bikes, but way too expensive.

[AWSE]

Pass, I prefer bikes that can actually stop within a credible distance.

Just pull the cover off and expose the primary once its registered

so have riden one of these to know it doesnt stop well?

[Mr DJ]

Judging by the look of the front brakes maybe? Judging by "similar looking" brake set ups on factory cruisers that dont brake too well perhaps?

[ReCon]

Wonder how Zero Engineering and Zero Motorcycles will get on in the same Aussie market? Will the both be allowed to trade under the same subsection or will one have to change their trading name??

Single piston caliper, relatively small singe disc, tyres from the 1940's.
Speaks for itself really.

You should buy a sports bike then. It is possible that this bike is not for everyone, lucky they don't seem to be intending to outsell Honda.

[Broms]

Very cool, hope the adr's don't ruin the look.

another bike added to my wish list.

last time I heard from 'em they were waiting for ADR's too! [but that'd be another thread ]

The Type 9 maybe, but the Type 7 & 8 are running simple rigid frames and Sportster engines so that would keep the prices of those models way down.
