According to Ryan Rawls at Ryan’s Roadracing Lounge, a Japanese collector recently offered Eddie Lawson One Million Dollars for Kawasaki KZ1000R serial #21, which was given to him by Kawasaki in 1983. No thanks, said steady Eddie, seated on his bike at the last Kawasaki dealer convention; the “R” is a rare bird, built by Kawasaki in celebration of Lawson’s AMA Superbike wins in 1981 and ’82.
