The ZL900 Eliminator is a two-year cruiser built in 1985-86 around a 908 cc transverse four-cylinder engine, which Wikipedia says was the GPZ900R inline-four in a cruiser frame. Its smaller carburettors and milder camshafts favoured low- and mid-range pull over peak power. It was the first of the big Eliminators and was followed by the ZL1000.
