Kawasaki has unveiled its new Eliminator 450 cruiser, which will be available in the US market in three variants: standard, ABS, and SE ABS. The Eliminator is a stylish and affordable cruiser that will appeal to riders looking for a comfortable and elegant ride. It is a direct competitor to the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 and the Honda Rebel 500.
The Eliminator's design is inspired by the Vulcan S, but it has its own unique style. The round headlight, teardrop-style fuel tank, and under-seat panel are similar to the Vulcan, but the raised tail section is more reminiscent of the Harley-Davidson Street Rod 750. The blacked-out engine casing and black alloy wheels give the Eliminator a modern, factory-custom look.
The Eliminator is powered by a 451cc parallel-twin engine that produces 43 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission and is housed in a steel trellis frame. The Eliminator also features a telescopic fork up front and dual shocks in the rear. Braking is handled by single discs at both ends with dual-channel ABS.
