The EL 250 Eliminator, also sold as the ZL 250LX, is a mini-custom with a Harley-style look and a liquid-cooled DOHC parallel twin with four valves per cylinder. The 1987-88 version is the first of several years with the same specification. The page offers no narrative about this edition, but the same engine and chassis are described in the 1993 road test reproduced on the later pages.
