The ZL600 Eliminator is a low, light 592 cc shaft-drive cruiser with a transverse four-cylinder engine based on the Ninja 600. The reviewer on the source page described it as an all-purpose machine with a soft, comfortable ride and good stability, but with weak braking and footpegs that touch down in fast corners. It was an entry-level alternative to the larger Eliminators.
