The Appeal
The Kawasaki Z1000R "Eddie Lawson Replica" is one of the most coveted superbikes of the 1980s, representing Kawasaki's racing heritage in an eminently rideable road-going form. This limited production model paid homage to Eddie Lawson's AMA Superbike championship success and has become a highly sought-after collector's piece in short order; nowadays they're a defining retro-classic mount.
This particular example stands out for its originality and preservation, having been part of a carefully maintained collection where it has been primarily displayed rather than ridden. With its distinctive green livery, period-correct details, and comprehensive documentation, this Z1000R ELR represents a rare opportunity to acquire an iconic motorcycle in well-preserved condition.

Sellerthanks for the compliments, all 8 bikes i currently have up for auction without reserve here on carandclassic were the creampuffs of my former collection of over 60 bikes of that 70-ies and 80-ies era. Now these last ones have to find a new home/caretaker since we have gotten too old to take care of them properly......
