Kawasaki Eliminator | Street Bike or Cruiser? | Riding Impressions | First Look

[@FGRides]

Hi Andy, I didn't realize that you couldn't get the orange and black SE edition in the UK; it is stunning in the metal. Combine that look with the SENSIBLE ergonomics on the Eliminator, and I think it should be easily outselling the Rebel. I need to actually ride one of them at some point. Thank you for the video!

The SE costs about €7000 here and that seems like a lot for a 450 which seems to be very basic. It looks like it is built to a price and then that price gets doubled when the bike is presented to the consumer. I'm pretty sure that Honda, RE and others have something better for that sort of money. I think this bike needs to be about €1000 cheaper to really stand a chance. At that price even I would consider it. But 7k for the SE seems a bit cheeky to me. Well done for taking it for a spin though. I didn't even know that this bike existed until now ! Apparently the Eliminator name applies to what Kawasaki call their "sports-cruiser" lineup. So it's a sports-cruiser, apparently 🤷‍♂ Cheers Andy, Garry

I think it's a bike that's better than the sum of it's parts and here in the UK at least, it's fairly reasonably priced. It does feel sportier than the Honda Rebel and less porky than the Shotgun 650. I have a few further thoughts on it in my most recent video.

Eliminator is better, research and you will find out, I have had mine for 10 days

The Eliminator name was originally for Kawi large displacement drag bikes. They discontinued it a while back and just re released it as you see it now

[@CornishMotorcycleDiaries]

How does it do above 100 , 120 and so?? Felt any vibrations ??

Have you been on a honda rebel 500? Just want your opinion as a comparison. I'm stuck between them both(Eliminator and Rebel), my local honda dealer has bad customer service which puts me off. The fact that the engine pultrudes out the side of the honda is annoying. The look of the honda rebel and I have heard good things about it.
