The '''[[Kawasaki]] ZL1000''' was a in-line four, [[four-stroke]] Cruiser [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Kawasaki]] between 1986 and 1989. It could reach a top speed of 128 mph (206 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 67.12 ft/lbs (91.0 Nm) @ 7000 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 107.68 HP (80.3 KW) @ 9000 RPM. 
==Engine==
The engine was a [[liquid cooled]] in-line four, four-stroke. A 74.0mm [[bore]] x 58.0mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 997.0 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 160/80-15 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via dual disc in the front and a single disc in the rear. The front suspension was a  38mm Showa air assisted forks 142mm wheel travel while the rear was equipped with a Dual Showa air assisted shocks, 106mm wheel travel. The ZL1000 was fitted with a 4.89 Gallon (18.50 Liters) fuel tank. 
==1986 - 1990 Kawasaki ZL 1000==

== Overview ==
The '''ZL1000''' was an evolution of the [[Kawasaki ZL900A|ZL900]], sporting a
larger engine and 34 mm carburetors. The styling of the ZL1000 was much
more conservative than that of the 900, with a longer rear fender and a much
larger fuel tank, this motorcycle was only available for 2 years, 1987 and 1988,
but mostly sold in UK, Australia and the US in 1988. 100 HP models was sold in
Germany, France and Sweden. The ZL1000 shares the same strong following as the
ZL900.
