1985 Kawasaki ZL900 Eliminator review from United Kingdom
"Fun and exciting"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Absolutely nothing as yet.
General comments?
It is great.
Fantastic to ride in a straight line; corners are a bit dangerous though.
New seat makes it a lot more comfortable.
Still working on it changing / cleaning or repairing parts as it was stored for 3 years.
