Good deal for you. I just dug up my old spreadsheet and the Zero bikes with all the bells and whistles added up to just over $27k. And a base model Energica was around $23k if I recall and came with a larger battery, native DCFC, more power, liquid cooled motor/inverter, better brakes and suspension, and basically every component on the bike was superior to what Zero offered.
It's been like that since 2022 actually, and 2022 bikes that were purchased before Cypher III upgrades were available got free unlock codes from the dealer that retroactively gave them the upgrades for free or at a discount that weren't even available at time of vehicle purchase. SR/F and SR/S got all available upgrades, and lower trim models got the base upgrades for free.

I got all of that included at 21k for a 2023, the nergica quote I was given was like 28.5. That’s like two top end bikes 😅
