It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Switched to electric bike years ago and have no regrets. Tbf I did switch from a Ducati so high price wasn't a show stopper, but I love my Zero SR.
Just got the battery replaced due to an issue with one of the modules with days left on the warranty and Zero took care of it without any cost to me after a quick diagnostic process.
Otherwise zero issues with my Zero. Only maintenance in the last 4 years is replacing the tires. Love the bike.
How's the range? I also feel like it's slightly more dangerous since the bike is silent and the other drivers can't detect the bike coming by
Range depends A LOT on how you ride but anywhere from 80 to 120 miles is my experience. I'm sure you can get 160 miles from specs if you ride at speed limit.
My 848 had a very loud Acrapovic exhaust so cars would part like the red sea, but I haven't noticed any difference in how drivers react between my Monster with a stock exhaust and Zero. Oblivious drivers will drive like shit unless something REALLY grabs their attention. Silent motor doesn't really make it worse. I maybe only feel it at intersections because it seems like it is more difficult for drivers to gauge your speed without the sound.
