They were a USA model primarily, Similar to the Honda Magna 1100, Suzuki Madura, V-max, all were 'power cruisers' or traffic light drag bikes.
I owned the ZL1000 version in the mid 80's (UK).. they were fucking quick for the day, in fact was supposed to be quicker than the Max off the line, till V boost cut in.
Dont know if they were unpopular as they were a 'failure'?, or just limited numbers sold as the Max was a lot better bike overall, same happened to the Magna and Madura. I rode both Max and my Eliminator, and the Kwaka was far more comfortable, but was very long and handled like a truck round bends.
