Your review helped me decide to get an Eliminator. And i am absolutely loving this bike. I mainly do urban riding and some back roads. The riding position is so comfortable even compared to the Triumph Bonneville i had a couple of years ago. Still getting a feel for where it likes to be rpm wise, if you have any suggestion id love to hear it. My biggest complaint was that the stock mirrors are kind of rubbish and dont offer a very good field of view. Replaced them the first week with KiWav Medusa mirrors.

Great to hear! Thanks for the support.

That engine would be a blast in a Versys. Tried the Versys 300 three years ago and I liked it a lot. But it lacked of torque. With a -170 kg weight and a 19" or a 21" front wheel we would have a light and economical trail bike.

That would be a blast!

I love the ergos ...so a 450 is fine , wish it was 650, but 451 is fine too.

Wonder if we will see this engine in any other upcoming bikes

Hope so, it's a solid platform.

I have one of the original 2007 Kawasaki Eliminator BN125. They were only 125ccs and is very comparable to the current honda grom as far as the speed and all that. Hoping to get this new one next week pending the financing comes through!

Awesome, enjoy!

4:52 nice footage but I'm wondering if I heard the footpeg scrape? Just curious what is the max lean angle compared to a sport bike? This angle looks like 40 degrees, is that about right? followup question, how does the peg height compare to a traditional cruiser? I really like this bike as it carries a hint of the kawasaki sport feeling in a different class. Even the shape of the exhaust looks like the "beak" of a sport bike, which is kinda fascinating the weird way the pipes traverse the bottom

You caught the scrape! Yes, caught us by surprise. No biggie as the pegs have sliders but it was a bit earlier in the lean than we expected.

Nice looking ride. I’d like better color options for the standard. I’d get the non-ABS.

Nice bike adequate speed

The original Eliminator wasn't a little brother. It was a 900cc badass

I think he meant the new eliminator is the little brother to the current 650/900/1700 vulcan siblings. But, the wording did sound off.

vulcan 900 S would be great !

If I were to choose a bike with that motor it would be the Z650RS.
