Kawasaki Eliminator 500 2025

The Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is a successful bike in a competitive price segment. The latest addition from the green brand offers easy handling and riding pleasure at an attractive price. Beginners, returning riders and smart bikers will all enjoy this urban cruiser. In my opinion, the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 could achieve cult status.

Handling, despite low ground clearance, an attack the twisties

Engine, good torque

Weight, 167 kg

Gearbox, excellent shifting

Seating position, comfortably neutral Driving licence class A2

Rear-view mirror, stylish but hardly any visibility to the rear tyres, IRC spongy, gives hardly any feedback
