The Kawasaki ZL1000 was produced for only one year, 1987. There seems to be no definitive information from Kawasaki as to the total number produced, however, it appears as though they produced approximately 2,500 world wide. This makes the ZL1000 a fairly rare piece of machinery. This bike has aggressive cruiser styling with an in line four ninja motor. It was designed to be fast...very fast. Its 0 to 60 mph time is 2.88 seconds...stock and it handles nicely in the 90+ mph range. If you like to push your pony's, this may be a great bike for you if you can find one. Overall, the styling of the bike is excellent in the curb appeal department with the exception of the saddle, which will be greatly benefited by a professional reshaping and recovering. My seat was reworked and it was a major improvement in appearance and rider comfort. The seat was scooped for rider and passenger and the result was a drastic improvement in the secure butt position factor. I have completely reworked and upgraded mine and I love this bike. It definitely attracts the right kind of attention.
