Got my Eliminator back in November. Its my fifth bike and I absolutely love it. Would say it's one of the best urban/sport cruisers out there... yes, the Vulcan is a bigger displacement but it also 100 pounds heavier so their power-to-weight ratio is almost exactly the same.
@BikerKazZ it is surprisingly comfortable for me despite my size [6'1' and 250lbs]. I also like the mid controls on the Eliminator instead of the forward controls the Vulcan S has. Feet forward always feel wrong to me and the mid controls mean I don't take every bump on my tail bone.
The Eliminator has a more modern/futurist style that was a big reason I chose it over the Rebel. The Rebels high angle tank has a very retro feel to it.
@neilanderson2374 the whole "color by region" thing is just odd to me. In the US we have white and gray for standard and ABS models and then black and orange for the SE. But all of Europe is just black. Nice thing is that if you want a different color, getting a vinyl wrap is cheaper than if it was a sportbike
Thank you, I appreciate you saying that ☺️ hmm 🤔 it depends on what riding style suits you best, the CF moto is foot forward and the Kawasaki is ‘normal foot position’, both really nice bikes but I would say it depends on what you prefer, definitely recommend a test ride on both 😎 keep me posted as I’d be interested to hear what you think of both bikes
@@BikerKazZ it was on my radar a few weeks ago...havent ridden yet but foot peg position ,comments about mirrors ,and narrowness made me question the bike..
Hi Kaz, I think most cruisers are sold on looks alone first more than other types. I know its the eye of the beholder etc, but to me, that is one ugly bike. Looks like it was designed in the dark. Sorry, not for me.

Sounds like you’re happy with the Eliminator, I thought it was a really nice bike to ride and light too which is a huge plus

Looks Better than the Honda Rebel to
Me that is ..
I really like it too Jeff, rides nice too 👌
Way better , and the choice of tires alone..

wait the sun is shining in the UK? 😆😉
😂😂 probably not for long though ....😜
love the spare tire very much
500cc ?? I would have said it was a 900cc or something
Wow that's a cool bike
yes, it's deceptive, really light too
Could you try to install a windshield to it?
@@aaff3846 you could see if you can get one, if Kawasaki don’t do one maybe an aftermarket one is available
It’s a bit too black for me, I like a bit of colour. I know some people like Mat Black bikes but it’s not for me, great video as usual though Kaz 🙂👍👍
Thanks Rod ☺️
Yes I can understand people like colour too, some bikes suit a colour too 😎
Real shame about the limited colour choices in the UK. Lots more choice in the US
@@neilanderson2374 yes I was surprised that there’s only one colour option too!
Put a coyote brown seat and hand grips on it ,saddle bags of a slightly darker brown color and say aaaay like the Fonz !

Because i owned rebel 500 2022 how is compeared with the rebel. I am thinking to buy again the rebel.
I haven’t ridden a rebel so I can’t compare, sorry!! Can recommend a test ride though
Nice review.. between this bike and CF moto CLC 450 which one would you choose? And why

yes, can do that 👍
What about the mirrors...do they really suck?
No, the mirrors are good, no vibration either 👍
@@BikerKazZ many riders complained that mirrors dont show enough...thanks for answer
@@ozcanciftci5050 oh okay, that is not my experience with the mirrors, interesting to hear though 👍

Hey Darren, you could be right there about cruisers and absolutely understand that the Eliminator is not for everyone 😁
