Eddie Lawson and Kawasaki Videos.
If you post a video drop me a note I'll add it to the Playlist!
The Kawasaki Eddie Lawson Replica is a well known look and popular for
Kawasaki make-overs. I think it is interesting that the KZ-ELR is so
popular in Japan and all around the world.
Look for the 1981 SuperBike Daytona championships
Enjoy the Show
