A 1982 limited-edition cruiser built on the running gear of the shaft-drive KZ1100A touring model. It has a shorter fuel tank, a lowered seat, a revised handlebar and a black-and-gold finish with burgundy accents. The magazine reviewer found it comfortable, quick and capable on highways, though its weight made it less agile in hard cornering.
