Thank you for posting this. My stepfather introduced me to cruisers last year (he'd been pushing me to try one of his) so I have put maybe a few hundred miles on his HD Dyna, a 750lb monster. I've been to stores and have sat on an Eliminator 500. Love the lower weight and decent fuel efficiency. My sole gripe with it so far is the lack of forward controls, which I need on a cruiser due to long legs. Hoping the aftermarket comes through on these if Kawasaki doesn't.
@MotoSnax7 ай бұрын
Not sure if forward controls will be available. Did you also check the Kawa Vulcan S? Weighs a bit more though, but the engine is more powerful too.

Ok, I once owned a Vulcan S, a 650cc, cruising at 140kmh sitting straight up is comfortable. That with a full face flip up helmet. I dont use half helmet unless for short distance. I have to duck to go beyond 140kmh because of the wind resistance. Seeing this bike top speed is just 160 and looks like sufferring to reach that speed, i say cruising speed of 120kmh is reasonable, engine wise.
@MotoSnaxАй бұрын
These bikes aren't for speeding anyway. Cruising at 120 km/h is fine. Over here the max speed during the daytime is 100 km/h. So the Eliminator 500 is sufficient for everyday rides where I live.

It's a 450 motorcycle. A good 1. Depending on how fast ya want to go hell yes it's good for long ride. Short rides long rides. It's a motorcycle. Maybe your confused or something
@MotoSnax6 ай бұрын
I would recommend another bike for those long rides. At those speeds it will hold well, but the seating position for those long rides... not sure if it is the best. I would rather recommend the Ninja 500 or better, Ninja 650 or so.
@Fred-ns1tl5 ай бұрын
The Eliminator may be more comfortable than the Ninjas and Z bikes, it depends on what feels good to YOU.
@claire6650Ай бұрын
@@MotoSnax It's the same bike as the Ninja 500, and it will be way more comfortable than it due to it being a cruiser. Same for Ninja 650, if you want long road and comfy, go for the Vulcan S, since it's the same bike just in cruiser style.

I know KPH is easier and used the world over, but in American we’re looking at just over 100mph screaming. I could see this bike cruising around 85mph, maybe for longer periods???
@MotoSnax7 ай бұрын
The engine would have no problem with that. But if you can call it 'cruising'? I think the more comfortable cruising speed is around 75 mph.
@Fred-ns1tl5 ай бұрын
I think it'll be fine on American highways. And i'm in Texas where we have 75mph with folks driving 85+. I would do it, but some folks tend to think they need more power and lower rpm (Harley riders lol) I have a KLX230SM and max it out all the time. But its top speed is 75mph which may limit me to the 65mph highways (unless traffic isn't crazy on the faster highways). Yes, i'll ride my KLX230SM max speed on the highway. Not a problem. One thing to check is the little 'nub' in its intake, it tends to get a little oil in it after a while which is normal when riding high rpm. I think it is called a breather hose. But this goes for any bike.Also, u may burn a little more oil at high rpm as well. Something to keep an eye on, not really an issue (it is normal and jap bikes can handle it)

Van die 399cc'er had je Euro4 en Euro5. Ik heb alleen de Euro4 gereden en ik denk dat er weinig verschil zit tussen de Euro4 399cc en Euro5+ 451cc. Op de teller loopt de Z400 ook net wat harder dan de Z500, maar daar had ik toen geen GPS-meting bij. Al moet ik ook zeggen dat de windrichting niet de mooiste was toen ik de Z500 op z'n donder gaf. 0-100's moet ik nog meten, maar ik weeg ook ietsje meer dan in 2019 toen ik de Z400 testte, moet weer wat kilootjes kwijtraken die er bij zijn gekomen door destijds de pandemie en de komst van kinderen. :)
