Hey Jack, I began watching you when you first started out with this channel, when I was big into motorcycle RUclips. As a few years have gone by I haven't had as much time to be on my phone scrolling, as I'm currently attending Ohio Technical College to become a motorcycle service tech. I wanted to say I appreciate how far you've come, and I thank you for the inspiration to continue with this field over time, despite challenges along the way. The fact that you're a smaller channel pushing out quality content, with the quantity of these massive channels, is incredibly admirable. I wish you the best of luck with this channel and all future endeavors, as you deserve all the success that comes your way.
Hey mate i really appreciate those kind words. Thankyou for sticking around and honestly the best thing to support the channel is just keep watching and liking the videos (only if you enjoy the content of course!). Doing my best lately to pump out as much as i can for you guys so if there's anything in particular you'd like to see make sure to let me know. But again, thanks for this comment mate, i appreciate it!
@Kwackajack Perhaps a "What it's like to own" type of video series would be beneficial to people. Highlighting not only the face value specs of a motorcycle, but things later down the road, maintenance costs/intervals, ability of the rider to service their own machine, OEM/aftermarket parts availability, etc... Just other facts about a bike some may not think about until after they've purchased their machine. Thanks for the response, I look forward to all future endeavors!
I am getting my pre-learners done soon here in the Gold Coast and really appreciate these videos that are coming out from the channel. Been following for a long time since the Ninja 400 and hope to join the cult soon!
You're gonna love it! Thanks for supporting the channel and the kind words, trying to pump out a lot of content lately so let me know if there's anything in particular you'd like to see :)
@@Kwackajack Currently looking at what bike to get. I am 6"4 100ish Kg, I am a sports bike lover so was looking at the 2024 Ninja 500 SE or the Z500 depending on what's more comfortable for me but would love to hear if you had any suggestions for bikes to start on for taller dudes like me. Thanks!
Kawasaki Eliminator by a small margin ( its newer bike & less vibration & new bike trumps an older heavier bike in my opinion 🏍🕺 Cheers from Bundaberg Australia 🇦🇺🍹😝
I want the kawi tire and wheel package and the bright paint on the rebel. I prefer the more slender tires and if I see another black or satin black/gray bike I might get sick.
I went with the Eliminator over the Honda Scrambler and couldn’t be happier. My only complaint is without a crash cage there is any viable way for highway pegs and my daughter is 2 hours away in college.
I got the eliminator much bigger feel. And also, the ones i want to upgrade on the rebel are already in the eliminator by default, with lower price too
I have a Royal Enfield Int650. It has similar real world hp, mpg, and range of the Eliminator. Though it is in the Naked Retro, per Indian sources, it fits in the cruiser category as well. It is similar in many ways to both Rebel 500 and the Eliminator. It is a two cylinder, air and oil cooled stable horse. Stats: Wt: 218 kg Torque: 52.3 Nm HP: 47.4 *Fuel capacity: 13.7 L Kmpl: 25 *My US bike effectivly carries 3.2 gal or 12.6 L. Regardless. I consistently get 175 - 185 mile mixed hwy/city If I maintained a constant hwy speed of 100 kph or 60 mph, (On US highways😂) I would indeed get at least 210 miles. (336 K) The Rebel will have an overall lower cost of maintenance. Especially if you are having the shop do your scheduled items.
Great bike and good choice in the range. It is a fair bit heavier with a bigger motor than these guys so would probably include it in a separate comparison in something closer in size
if your doing alot off the 500cc bike you need to look at the benelli leoncino 500 its my current ride and ive put almost 20,000km on it in just over a year and ive tried the Reble and the eliminator
@@Kwackajack they are really heavy but there designed well enough that it doesn’t feel like there is weight in place it shouldn’t be. Heavy Cornering at low or high speed feels really good as well because it never gets stuck too low in the corner where you think it might low side Ive absolutely SENT IT through the gap road and it handles it perfectly

Feel like the 450 CL-C should have been in this but a 1v1v1 comparison would be tougher.

Cheers mate!
Nicely put together
I want the kawi tire and wheel package and the bright paint on the rebel. I prefer the more slender tires and if I see another black or satin black/gray bike I might get sick.

same here bro. ride safe!
Crash guards are available for eliminator, custom designs also
Eliminator all day!! Another great review
I got the eliminator much bigger feel.
And also, the ones i want to upgrade on the rebel are already in the eliminator by default, with lower price too
Honda Rebel is my choice. Both great bikes ✌️
Bro make a video r3 2025 vs ninja 500 se
Is that what you want to see?

Still take an Enfield Super Meteor over either of these pretty comfortably
if your doing alot off the 500cc bike you need to look at the benelli leoncino 500 its my current ride and ive put almost 20,000km on it in just over a year
and ive tried the Reble and the eliminator
I'm a fan of the Benelli's and think they are stylish bikes. How do you find the weight o of the Leoncino?
@@Kwackajack they are really heavy but there designed well enough that it doesn’t feel like there is weight in place it shouldn’t be. Heavy Cornering at low or high speed feels really good as well because it never gets stuck too low in the corner where you think it might low side
Ive absolutely SENT IT through the gap road and it handles it perfectly
The weight also helps with the twitchiness of the 180degree inline 2 cylinder engine on it
Not locked in the US, 0-60 in 4.1 seconds.
The rebel is physically too small .
