Features

EASY

Highly Approachable Package

Offering a natural riding position that accommodates a wide range of riders, the Eliminator inspires confidence from the moment you sit on it. Its light weight and good mass centralisation make light work of lifting the bike off its side-stand and contribute to low-speed manoeuvrability. Its highly accessible, stress-free character makes the Eliminator an ideal everyday riding partner.

ACTIVE

Light Handling and Responsive Performance

Complementing the rider-friendly character that will bring a smile to the faces of riders who want to enjoy the exhilaration offered by a Kawasaki motorcycle, the Eliminator is backed up by active performance derived from its Ninja-based engine and lightweight trellis frame.

LONG & LOW

Authentic Motorcycle Styling

A modern reinterpretation of the long and low style of the original Eliminator is complemented by a versatility that lends itself to any lifestyle. Horizontal lines that draw the eye from front to rear, the low seat, and low, flat handlebar hint at the new Eliminator’s active riding potential and a light-footed manoeuvrability, as if to be able to glide lightly over the ground.

SE Model

Special Edition: Eliminator SE

In addition to distinct colour and graphics, the Eliminator SE comes equipped with a number of special features including a headlight cowl, fork boots, USB-C outlet, and a SE seat with two-pattern seat leather.
