Kawasaki KZ1000R2 (83).
1983 Tank stripe and badge locations are different. Sticker on 5.7 gallon tank says '82-'83 AMA champion and has in addition the white script "Superbike Champion". Instruments are integrated into a single display. Swingarm 10mm longer with slightly different bracing and very minor head changes in the engine. A white base color was added for world consumption and the world other than North America got the non-melodious 4-2 pipes.
