== Overview == | |||
Kawasaki ZL 1000 Eliminator | |||
The ZL1000 was an evolution of the ZL900, sporting a | |||
larger engine shared with the | |||
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. | |||
