I like the looks of the original ZL900 and ZL1000 Eliminators, but I also like power cruisers with more than a VTwin for motor.

Sure are ugly, Dale Walker used them with his drag racing school in the mid 80's. Plus he desined his HP electric over air airshifter with it. Kawi's version of the V Max
