The stealth bomber looks really nice. But 10g's god damn. If I was spending that kind of money I'd go for one of these

Not really a bicycle but its still awesome
That's a reasonable comparison, but even after careful consideration a Bomber seems like the better choice to me.
Since everyone focuses on the price, lets look at that first. a Bomber is $9,900 shipped to my door. No state sales tax, registration, insurance, or inspection fees.
A Zero S lists for $15,995 plus, Texas state sales tax 0.0625% = $1000. Then there's probably dealer setup fees and destination charges, say $200. Registeration is $45. State inspection $12.50. Then insurance which in this case would need to be full coverage, lets say conservatively $650 per/yr
$9,900.00 Bomber total
$17,902.50 Zero S total
That's close to twice as much, but what to you get for the money?
According to Nov 2013 Cycle world a Zero S has a 90 mph top speed. That's about as fast as a Honda or Kawasaki 250. They found it has a average range of 62 miles. It has an 8 hour charge time. If it runs out of juice you can't pedal it home, and it weighs 393 lbs.
Then there's the Bomber. It has a 50 mph top speed. Arguably the fastest production bicycle on the planet. The range is a little murky, but is claimed to be 50 miles. I've read where people say 40 miles is easy, and 60 miles is possible. It has a 2 hour charge time, and if it runs out of juice you can pedal it home with it's 9 speed gear box. Total weight is 116 lbs.
So the question becomes which is better to own? The slowest $18,000 motorcycle in the world, or the fastest $10,000 motor bicycle?
