I picked up a different ride... was created by harm
It's not a KZ but it is a Kawasaki!

It's a 1987 ZL1000, only made them one year. The bike fits me real well and my wife likes it too! It does need some work but i am always up for fixing stuff. I would love to try bring it back to stock condition.

You guys don't give me too much of hard time that its not a KZ!

We don't give hard times to our GPZ members so no reason to start with your non KZ ride... ;)

I would bet that a ride with the wife is more comfortable on this bike than the GPZ...

Not really detuned but tuned for lower end power rather than high end power, this one however has had some work done to it. RS flat slide carbs, 4-1 and Possibly a big bore kit.

You got that right OMR, my KZ550 is just too small for two adults for any extended ride.

If anybody gives you a hard time about owning an Eliminator they don't know a whole lot about motorcycles - 110 Hp and all the torque you need, I'd love to own one, great score.

I like them too.
One of the few cruisers I like.
Not sure if you'd even classify them as a cruiser.
