Great For Beginner Riders | 2024 Kawasaki Eliminator Demo | 4K

mirrors are bad, i have the same issue. replaced with some bar end mirrors and is 100 times better. i got used to them prettty fast. i have them pointed upwards i think they offer maximum image visibility this way. if you have the SE model like i do you wanna replace the mirror adaptor with a short screw it the right side cause it holds the usb-c charger kit ( if you wanna replace the adaptors in the firstplace right.) thanx for the video, i really enjoy my eliminator, got it less than a week ago and its a pretty easy to ride and handle bike. first realy bike too, coming from mainly scooters.

I put Grip Puppies on mine. Real easy to put on and that is exactly what it needed. Twenty bucks on Amazon. One of our motorcycle officers told me he uses them and loves them

Kawasaki got to give you some endorsements now 😆 , you just helped me make my mind up between this or the Vulcan. I am a beginner, only “practice” I had was some parking lot action with a 1000cc GSXR. Not bad experience but that throttle was a bit touchy for me but did basic maneuvers pretty well😂. Good video, much appreciated 🤙🏽

I am 71 years old and have been riding since 1964. Sold my LAST Harley I will ever oen last Fall. I paid $37,000 plus taxes and other charges for it, rode it one year ans it broke down four times within that year. Sold it andlost $9000 on it, but glad to be rid of it. I still wanted something to ride and I checked out many bikes, but th4e 2024 Eliminator SE was the winner. It has penty of spunk, handles great, gets great fule mileage, insurenace is cheap and can cruise at 80 mph all day long. I am no beginnger, but what else can a person want in a motorcycle? WIth it's light weight and 52 HP it is a great package. I LOVE IT. But I am curious, after you rode the other 500cc bikes from Kawasaki, how did they compare with the ELiminator? I am too old for a sport bike, I would probably look stupid on one as old as I am, but I have sat on a Ninja 650 and can see why young people like them.

@@genegoodwin8925 For me personally, the Ninja wouldn’t be my choice. It was a fun ride, but I prefer to be more upright & I like the feeling of a naked bike, so I’d probably go with the Z500. The performance from the powertrain felt identical, so it would be about comfort & handling for me. The Eliminator & Z500 did feel just a bit small for me, so If they made a Z500RS, that would be the clear winner. The RS was very comfortable & it’s one of the best looking bikes Kawasaki makes in my opinion.

[@genegoodwin8925]

@jimbobspov I do like the looks of the Z650RS. IT IS A GOOD LOOKER.

Can you stand on the footpegs while riding?

[@jimbobspov]

I don't think I tried it. That's one I gotta remember to do more often.
