1983 Kawasaki Z1000R R2 ELR

Highlights

  • Rare Eddie Lawson Replica (ELR) from the limited 1983 production run
  • Original condition with matching numbers verified by original documentation
  • Low mileage with only about 600 miles ridden annually since new
  • Complete with original owner's manual, toolkit, warranty booklet and service card
  • From a carefully curated classic motorcycle collection that's being sold over the coming days


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.

thanks 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......
