The ZL1000 Eliminator developed from the ZL900 with a larger engine shared with the ZG1000 Concours. It had more conservative styling than the 900, with a longer rear fender and a much larger fuel tank. It was sold for only 1987 and 1988, mainly in the UK, Australia and the US, and has a loyal following like its predecessor.
