Sticker on tank commemorates '82 AMA victory. Unique to the ELR is the tank filler cap, which has a black colored tumbler in addition to the black cap. Black aluminum footrest mounts and a black grab bar for a surprisingly comfortable passenger rider. A white Kerker sticker was included which dealers or owners typically put on the tank or on the fork bottoms. Tank stripe and badge locations are different.
Instruments become squarish mono-cluster doodad display.
Swingarm 10mm longer with slightly different bracing and very minor head changes in the engine. Thank the lord the North American market got Lime Green and the KR 4-1 pipe which would make Thor in Valhalla proud. Compared to the REAL thing, these are quite plentiful, though I don't have production numbers on any of these bikes. It doesn't have anything on the CBX in the looks or handling department, but it does claim more power, by at least 15 HP, depending on the source. Kawasaki takes a stab at water cooling and pushes the bike up to leviathan size.
