You are 100% correct about the USB. It is the worst looking thing on the bike even worse than the muffler.

I've had mine for around 3 months now and still find it so much fun. Tried various other 500's from Honda and Kawasaki but this one fitted me down to the ground (I'm only 5'6" so literally 😂). Good review again Lofty.

G'day matey 😊👍 Im new to Motorcycle riding & hopefully doing my Learner Course soon 🏍 i know in Australia they teach us to ride on CB125 bikes during the courses ! And after watching Your insightful video on this neat Kawasaki 500 i think this bike would suit me for the first 12 months of riding ^ learning , its not to big or small 👍 Then after 1 year or 18 months il step up to something abit bigger in the Cruiser range of bikes ! Good video digger 😊 Cheers from Bundaberg Australia 🇦🇺🕺🍹

Hey TLB, I think the Eliminator is a handsome bike! That "baloney tube" of an exhaust pipe must be replaced immediately! Here, in America, we can get the ike in white, bright orange/gloss black & a mat grey. It's a great choice for a first bike!🏍️👍😎. Doug

Difficult call for me. I was impressed with how much fun you had. Looks wise Royal Enfield retro look works for me, but they are proper heavy, same as my 1250 bandit give or take without the go. Don't like the USB port. Jury is out for now.
