Sold the last Harley I will ever own. My last one cost $37,000 and broke down four times within the first year. I bought a Kawasaki Eliminator SE and LOVE it. The Eliminator is more fun than I've had on a motorcycle in many years. It has plenty of pick up, handles great, corners great, and will cruise all day at 80mph. What else can a person wamt from a motorcycle? Mine giets 65-66 mpg, the insurance is only $148 a year for full coverage. My Harley got 35 mpg and the insurance was $800 a year. I am SOLD on Kawasaki motorcycles. I've owned a lot of motorcycles since 1967 mostly Japanese models, but at this point I think Kawasaki is my favorite, Kawasaki seems to know better than the others what size tires and what style tires to equip a bike with to make it handle the best. LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL.
I brought one and have rode a few bikes before this one, not a learner anymore, but loved it and the comfort of it. I'm short to so the seat height helps.
Eliminator was my first bike I got the 2024 version. Not the SE though. Couldn't justify the extra price for some minor changes. I love this bike. Very fun to ride handles very well even at speed (90 mph)
Had a 2008 Ninja 250 back in the day when I first got my licence. After 5 years of riding to work everyday. I sold it after a lady ran a stop sign and hit me, thank god the speed limit was only 40kmh, it would have been a bad outcome. I was prerty shook since, but lately thinking of getting back into riding again, so a cruiser is what I want, this might be it. Quick question how good is it for having reae passenger?
I’m actually selling my vstar 650 and ‘downgrading’ to an eliminator. I have a back injury and struggle with my 650 due to the weight when moving it around etc. (and I’m not on LAMS)
Nice bike, i would probably just pick up a nice sportster tho. Dead reliable and plenty room for mods up to 120hp from hammer performance. Suspension upgrades and a basic 1275 kit your still under $5k. I had the old ZL1000 eliminator back in early nineties
You are not the market this is aimed at. A 120hp Sportster without at least another £5k worth of brake, suspension and chassis upgrades would be a death trap. and yes, I've owned Sportsters.
Had mine since November and absolutely love it. I think it's one of the best urban/sport cruisers built.

Hi everyone has tested it in the city. How about riding it on a bumpy country roads .......
Great shots of the bike in motion 🤩
I Just got one here in Brazil and I am loving it
Great review that included many details others didn’t talk about.
Thumbs up for the production on this video btw.
Thanks 🙏
Beautiful bike, though prefer the base white color. I’ll have to check one out.
Good info. Leaning towards this bike as my first cruiser bike. Thanks!
Well worth it.

Absolutely Love This Bike!
Nice color contrast, in my country only full back!
I don’t appreciate being called a hobbit 😂😂😂 (I still can’t flat foot this bike)
Been looking at this and Speed 400. Leaning toward the eliminator. Just looks easier to start on. Thoughts, pros?

I have an Eliminator. Love the bike but when you hit a bump you are going to know it
Anyone know the zero to 60 time on this Eliminator?? Also, would this be decent for short 2 up riding?
0 to 60 is estimated at 4.35 seconds , and yes it would be
@LIVETORIDETV thanks for the speedy reply!
Max capacity is about 400 lbs. But better tires and suspension can increase that.

@@CornishMotorcycleDiaries you right, I am not the target. I do have love for anything two wheeled tho
I think this looks great best looking besides the RE Shotgun
I would need money ahhhhhhhh😢
