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 with a dry weight as low as 359.4 pounds (non-ABS), which also provides 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.

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* for an enhanced motorcycling experience.

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-sized 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®.

Eliminator® SE ABS

Classic Style

The headlight cowl is distinctly Eliminator® and together with the fork boots add a classic style.

USB-C Outlet

Conveniently mounted on the right handlebar, a USB-C outlet features a waterproof design to help protect it from the elements*.

SE ABS Comfort

The Eliminator® SE ABS seat, like the standard seat, offers comfortable cushions that help eliminate unwanted vibrations, and gets extra style points with 2-pattern seat leather and stitching along the top edge

Ride in Style

The Eliminator® SE ABS comes in Phantom Blue/Ebony.
