San Jose, CA
Description:
A limited edition tribute to Eddie Lawson, just 750 examples of the Kawasaki KZ1000R ELR (Eddie Lawson Replica) were built between 1982 and 1983. , the press and the public loved this bike and how aggressively it was set up.The 998cc inline four produced 83 horsepower in a bike that weighed 543 pounds. Top speed was just shy of 130, and none of those numbers matter to me because I think this is one of the definitive muscle bikes of all time. Kawasaki KZ1000R Eddie Lawson ReplicaYears produced: 1982-1983Total production: 750Claimed power: 83hp @ 8,500rpmTop speed: 128mph (period test)Engine type: 998cc double-overhead cam, air-cooled inline fourWeight (dry): 247kg (543.5lb) Building the KZ1000R followed Kawasakiâs typically deliberate path. From the J-model came its 998cc, DOHC, two-valve, air-cooled four, with electronic ignition and strong roller-bearing crank assembly. It was a hammer of an engine, really, and the perfect starting point for hot-rodders already in love with the bulletproof Kawasaki fours. The conventional steel-tube frame was J-spec, too, with slightly lazier steering geometry and additional trail for the presumed higher-speed work the bike would see.The ELRâs more memorable partsâthe long, coffin-esque tank, swoopy tailpiece, and sporty cockpit fairingâcame from the GPz1100, as did instruments, brakes, wheels, and its Dunlop K300s. Also added was a deep-dish saddle, more rear-set footpegs and controls, an oil cooler, a black Kerker 4-into-1 (which, by law, had to be installed by the dealer after the bike was uncrated), and a superbike-bend handlebar designed by Lawson himself. It was an impressive piece, visually and technically, with strong, near-GPz performance, reliability, and more than its share of chutzpah that took riders back to the famous Z-1.This is is in extremely nice shape for a bike that has been ridden and not restored and everything appears original and correct !All electrics work shifts through all gears ....seat is perfect exhaust looks fantastic bike comes with original owners manual, tool kit , clear title!
