Kawasaki Eliminator 500 2025

Kawasaki Eliminator 500 2025

The Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is a successful bike in a competitive price segment. The latest addition from the green brand offers easy handling and riding pleasure at an attractive price. Beginners, returning riders and smart bikers will all enjoy this urban cruiser. In my opinion, the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 could achieve cult status.

Handling, despite low ground clearance, an attack the twisties

Engine, good torque

Weight, 167 kg

Gearbox, excellent shifting

Seating position, comfortably neutral Driving licence class A2

Rear-view mirror, stylish but hardly any visibility to the rear tyres, IRC spongy, gives hardly any feedback

The new Africa Twin is a worthy successor to a legend. It appears sovereign, indestructible and reliable. It awakens the adventurous spirit in the rider and will certainly not lead an unworthy existence in the owner's garage. It is positioned and configured just right and can do everything an Africa Twin has to do. Surprise: The high-tech features are also good off-road.

indestructible overall impression

immaculate details

excellent DTC on off-road and on asphalt

high level of travel comfort

low fuel consumption.

Wheelys with DCT version only with difficulty possible

No power connection in series
