I am very honoured to be the first RU-vidr to ever be invited to a Kawasaki press launch. And this one happened to be right up our street being a lightweight cruiser. Very nicely positioned in the market to go head to head with the Honda Rebel!
In this review I ride the beautiful mountain roads near Marbella, and also test the bike on dual carriage ways, motorways and back roads. I discuss the way the bike feels to ride, how it handles, engine, power, stopping power, styling, comfort and more...

Probably the best A2 choice for someone who prefers cruiser-like motorcycles. Good job Kawasaki. I would even consider this motorcycle for myself as an affordable everyday commute bike if it had V-twin. However, this world isn’t perfect so I stay with my rumbling Vulcan 900

This is an excellent and balanced review of a bike I wouldn't normally be interested in. But I watched and enjoyed it. And if I was a younger dude, that Kawi would look pretty damn cool to me!! It looks cool enough now, and I'm not a younger dude. But I know what a good bike is, and that is one.

Perhaps it is just me but I am not getting the 80s references with this bike. Personally I think Kawasaki nailed it with the Vulcan 650 aesthetics as a smallish cruiser. Not sure about this one. It very much depends on what angle you are looking at it from. I am sure that when you are sat on it or looking at it from behind that seat and tank look satisfying. It also looks better with someone sat on it. For me this one is more Ritchie Cunningham than Arthur Fonzarelli

I like the look of the bike minus the radiator. I think it’s how big it is more than the position that causes my eye to gravitate toward it, the lines are all there except that part which makes it stick out. Functionality over form in that case I think but for that price it’s a good bike overall it appears. Great reviews and the views in Spain look awesome!
@TheArtdecovampire
@TheArtdecovampire 7 месяцев назад
It's nice looking from a distance, decent rake on the forks and it seems to spring forward. However close up its too busy and can't seem to make up its mind. Somebody has taken a multipurpose machine and briefly waved the cruiser wand at it. The tank and it's accompanying plastic collar and the multiple layers of plastic sides and rear just let it down. Kawasaki generally make a great bike, but the Rebel seems happier in its own skin. A bit more Akira, bit more mad max than this. Great review, honest and enthusiastic as usual. Great stuff.

Why can't manufactures of these new bikes just make a fuel tank that overlaps the frame therefore making the tank look flat on the bike and hiding the ugly sloping frame? Surely it can't be that hard to do. As you say from certain angles the bike looks ok i.e. from the back, but from the side these cruisers (Honda Rebel included) just look plain ugly, because of the angle of the fuel tank. Motorbikes look beautiful with classic horizontal lines. This bike might be the best bike ever if I actually got around to riding it but why would I want to when it's not aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Please can one of these big manufactures just put style and desirability over and above the frame shape!

I have to agree with others. The design is much more attractive than the Honda Rebel. The lines just flow better, and one thing I notice with Kawasaki is that whether it’s the Eliminator or the Vulcan, they are paying much more attention to ergonomics for people with varying heights and reach, not pigeonholing their bikes to appeal to only one segment of the market, which obviously makes it more appealing to more people, and thus selling more bikes as a result.

For a beginner rider who wants to switch to a HD after my first 1-2 years of experience, I think this bike is perfect as a first bike and looks sexy af. Also, my short ass is 5ft2. So I think this is a match. I like the old school design of the Eliminator. Will look great next to my black 1970 Ford Mustang.

I like the flat look. More attractive than the Rebel. Eliminator is a great old name. Definitely back to the '80s. Only 451cc. Odd-looking downpipe. Nice little fairing. All it needs is a sissy bar to strap your luggage to. I'd rather have it than the Rebel. I like the offset round dash. You look okay on it. A taller seat is a good option. I like the position of the footpegs. Any other colours? Excellent review. Nick

It's not really my style of motorcycle, but it looks much better than the various Honda Rebels. Nice forks, conventional forks with a pair of rubber gaiters always look much better than upside downs. It should have had a belt drive of course, chain drive sucks. And chain drive with no center stand really sucks. In that regard this Kawasaki is typical of today's motorcycle market, where there are more chains and fewer center stands than ever before.
@jamesschneider3828

A belt drive would have been the better choice. A friend has a kz550 back in the late 70's with a belt drive and never had a problem with nearly a 100,000 miles on the clock. Silent the only adjustment needed was with rear wheel removed for tire changes and adjusted on reinstall

I'm 66 and have been riding motorcycles since 1978. Now I'm retired and looking for an economic touring motorcycle to see Europe before I buy the farm. The Royal Enfield Classic 350 is economic but cannot do the Autobahn and other motorways. I don't want to go there a lot , but I need to do it once in a while. Something in between the Kawasaki 451 range and the Classic 350 would be perfect. My considered opinion is that 22 kW (30 HP) is perfect for economic long distance touring. Unfortunately it seems that the motorcycle license categories prevent the manufactures to make such a bike. They believe that experienced riders prefer big motorcycles. It's not so. Back in the eighties the milage on my Suzuki GT550 and my Moto Guzzi 850 California was always the same - 17 km/l. Now I would like it to be closer to 30 km/l.

When first announced I really didn’t like the look of this, but the more I see it the more it grows on me. Compared to the Honda Rebel 500, this is so much better, I have always hated the new Honda Rebel 500 and its bigger brother. Compare this bike to the Vulcan 650, pretty similar, surprised they didn’t reuse that name. The Vulcan 900 is much better in terms of looks though. If you are trying Kawasaki bikes, do try out the Z650RS, that’s my current bike. Again a bit of a sporty standard bike, dressed in some classic clothes. Great video as always.

There are a number of Kawasaki models I'd like to see you and the Old Man test, but first and foremost it has to be the W800. I just took a look at Kawasaki UK's web page... You poor guys. Once upon a time we used to look at European lineups and lament all the nice models you'd receive which never made it to Canada. Now the roles are reversed. No KLR, no KLX, no Versys-X 300 (a bike that would be perfect for touring your back roads), no Vulcan 1700 in either touring or bagger versions, and no hybrid or electric models for the Brits. That leaves the uninteresting supersports and the retro styled RS versions. So out of this limited lineup, the Z900RS and Z650RS are the ones I'd like to see you test.

Dιslike the look of the Rebel 500, totally dig this one though. I went to the showroom to see the Z650RS and the W800 and when I saw this I was on it in milliseconds. This supposed to be a cruiser or something because to me it fits the retro,but not classic look, nicely. I don't want the cowling on the headlamp so I'd choose the standard version, fully naked looks better to my eyes. The non-black muffler of the standard will eventually go anyway.

Since their Shotgun and in some cases the Super Meteor is not yet-barely available in the USA market, these bikes do become an option vs. Royal Enfield. The Eliminators and Hondas seem to be available everywhere. Some dealers have them listed with no additional fees. How long can we hold our breath for RE distribution?

True story, I did my online research on my first bike to buy, and I came OH -so-close to the Eliminator, but I ended up with a Rebel 1100. Absolutely nothing wrong with the Eliminator. The only thing that drew me away was that I felt more comfortable sitting on the Rebel 1100. I guess my 'rider triangle' felt just a little better. And it's probably barely a difference. I still wonder how my riding experience would be if I went with Eliminator.

Yesterday I was at the Helsinki Motor show and there I saw an Eliminator. But you were not allowed to sit on it. But I must say it's almost exactly like a Rebel. I sat on almost all the other bikes and a Rebel is indeed very low so not for tall people. The Harley's, Triumphs and Royal Enfields did not feel that cramped so are maybe better for slightly taller people. If you like this kind of cruiser bike, you should definitely have a look at the RE super meteor and shotgun, or save up a bit longer for a HD sportster or nightster. Also the Kawasaki Z650rs is a very nice easy to handle bike. Myself, of all the bikes at the expo I liked the Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 the most and I try to get one of the last old model Himalayans.

I still have to make up my mind between the Eliminator and the Vulcan S. Either way my next bike will be a Kawasaki. And I'm going to let the good times roll.

Yes but rebel 500 valve much more wind protection due to the shape of the tank.

Just the rear portion is so pushed in it looks like the machine was cut and shortened from behind. A little more extended swingarm would have made it look a lot more proportionate.

Honda rebel 500 us way better than this. More beautiful, better mechanical and more.

I personally hate this idea of cruisers with parallel engines. It just looks wrong in my opinion. Put a goddamn v twin of v four and then we can talk FFS

How about a parallel twin with a 270° crankshaft?

I think it would be better if it was a little more clean. Exhaust heathers stick out very weird. The silencer is really ugly. And maybe a little bit more colour details would be nice

Very good review. Looks like a decent bike. Pity it sounds like that. Definitly for a bike that looks like that. I would prefer a more lower sound. I would chance the excaust emediatly. Not like the scrambler 400x by triumph witch sound wonderfull in my opinion. What do you think?

Thank you! Yes I agree I would prefer a deeper tone, it sounds very similar to the Honda rebel. The new triumph 400s sound great, still need a louder exhaust in my opinion but it’s a great sounding bike anyway

A nice looking bike, but I prefer the Rebel. Both in terms of aesthetic and sound.

Thank you for the video Darcy. I agree, the riding position looks to be a bit cramped. If you put your forefoot onto the pegs, the position will be even more cramped.

Both the Eliminator and the Rebel would would look better with less black.

Doesn’t even look too bad. Still don’t like the big „tubes“ around the tank tho
