The '''[[Kawasaki]] ZL600 Eliminator''' was a in-line four, [[four-stroke]] Cruiser [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Kawasaki]] between 1986 and 1997. It could reach a top speed of 118 mph (190 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 33.93 ft/lbs (46.0 Nm) @ 7800 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 59.68 HP (44.5 KW) @ 10500 RPM. 
==Engine==
The engine was a [[liquid cooled]] in-line four, four-stroke. A 60.0mm [[bore]] x 52.4mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 593.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a double overhead cams/twin [[cam]] (dohc). 
==Drive==
The bike has a 6-speed transmission. 
==Chassis==
It came with a 100/90-18 front [[tire]] and a 150/80-15 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single disc in the front and a expanding [[brake]] in the rear. The front suspension was a  37mm Kayaba air assisted forks while the rear was equipped with a Dual shocks adjustable for rebound and preload damping. The ZL600 Eliminator was fitted with a 3.17 Gallon (12.00 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 440.92 pounds (200.0 Kg).

Even if the first Eliminator bike was produced in 1985, Kawasaki launched multiple different ZL models depending on their displacement: 1000cc, 600cc, 500cc, 400cc.
