Approachable & Easy to Ride

STEAL THE SCENE: Take the streets by storm on the Kawasaki Eliminator® motorcycle. Make every day exciting with timeless design cues and modern tech.
RELAXED, UPRIGHT RIDING POSITION: A relaxed, upright riding position accommodates a wide range of riders and inspires confidence from the moment you sit down.
LIGHT, EASY HANDLING: In addition to the long, low style of the Eliminator®, the chassis geometry was engineered to achieve a light, natural feel that contributes to rider confidence and stress-free riding.
LIGHTWEIGHT CHASSIS: Significant efforts were made to keep weight low on the Eliminator®, resulting in a lightweight chassis and an estimated dry weight as low as 359.4 lbs (non-ABS) for ease of maneuverability and increased rider confidence.
LOW SEAT HEIGHT: At just under 29 in, the Eliminator® motorcycle's seat height is the lowest of Kawasaki 250-500cc on-road models. This enables easy reach to the ground for a wider range of riders.
SHARE THE RIDE: With the Eliminator® motorcycle's ample power, comfortable pillion seat, and ergonomic accessory grab bar, the experience of riding the Eliminator can be comfortably shared with a friend.

Authentic Motorcycle Design

HORIZONTAL DESIGN: The long, low design with elegant proportions of the Eliminator® motorcycle is created by the vertically thin fuel tank and the horizontal lines from the head pipe to the tail. The design of the impressive, mid-class-size body suggests a balance of active performance and composure.
KEEP THINGS MOVING: The 18-in front wheel and 16-in rear help to further accentuate the long, low Eliminator® style.
TWIN-SHOCK REAR SUSPENSION: Twin rear shocks help contribute to ride comfort and natural handling that is reminiscent of Kawasaki's timeless design.
TAIL DESIGN: The tail is thin, with slash-cut lower lines that angle upwards for a sporty image, and the LED taillight brings a modern touch to the Eliminator®.

Power & Technology

NINJA®-BASED ENGINE: The Eliminator® motorcycle is powered by a Ninja®-based 451cc parallel-twin engine, offering strong, low-end torque. From low-speed maneuverability in the city to strong, linear power on the highway, the Eliminator motorcycle's Ninja-based engine will get you there.
ASSIST & SLIPPER CLUTCH: Developed based on feedback from Kawasaki racing teams, the clutch uses 2 types of cams (Assist & Slipper), providing both light pull at the clutch lever and reduced back torque during quick (or accidental) downshifts to help prevent the rear tire from skidding.
TRELLIS FRAME: The engine isn’t the only Ninja®-inspired component on the Eliminator®. A high-performance trellis frame, inspired by the Ninja® 400 motorcycle, uses high-tensile steel construction to achieve low seat height while still sporting a performance edge.
ALL-DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION: The Eliminator® motorcycle's timeless design is juxtaposed by modern, all-digital instrumentation with a tachometer. An all-digital LCD instrument panel includes a bar-style tachometer and gear position indicator.
SMARTPHONE CONNECTIVITY: Bluetooth® compatibility is built into the instrument panel and enables wireless communication while riding. Riders using a smartphone can access instrument functions within RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE† for an enhanced motorcycling experience.
