We try out Kawasaki’s new entry-level cruiser

Kawasaki has established its reputation in our market by offering a wide array of models, ranging from affordable underbones to high-revving four-pot screamers. One could argue that the Japanese bike manufacturer’s lineup here is basically complete.

A round headlamp is present up front, and it’s matched by the side mirrors and the instrument cluster. I like how the trellis frame is exposed on the sides, though I would’ve preferred if the weld spots here were a bit cleaner. I’d also change the signal lights if I had the chance—why not go for circular ones for those, too? Or something that looks less aggressive.

Comparing the Eliminator to the Vulcan, the riding position here feels more orthodox. The footpegs aren’t positioned too forward and the handlebars not too high. Like I said, it’s a more direct Rebel 500 rival, and in this department, it shows. If you’re not used to big cruisers, you might find this easier to ride.

There’s more than enough power across the rev range, and it cruises at 100kph with ease. And even if you’re at higher speeds and you need to overtake, it doesn’t feel like you’re asking too much from the engine unlike in, say, the Dominar—the Eliminator’s single-cylinder-engined stablemate.

Handling-wise, it’s more than decent. While I can’t really say if it handles better than the Rebel 500, what I can be sure of is that this bike feels nimble through corners. It’s really light once you get it going, and it’s a breeze to take bends at speed. Low-speed maneuvers are also easy with the way the handlebars are positioned. If either the grips or the footpegs were placed a bit farther front, it would’ve been a totally different story.
