G'day matey 😊👍 Im new to Motorcycle riding & hopefully doing my Learner Course soon 🏍 i know in Australia they teach us to ride on CB125 bikes during the courses ! And after watching Your insightful video on this neat Kawasaki 500 i think this bike would suit me for the first 12 months of riding ^ learning , its not to big or small 👍 Then after 1 year or 18 months il step up to something abit bigger in the Cruiser range of bikes ! Good video digger 😊 Cheers from Bundaberg Australia 🇦🇺🕺🍹
I've had mine for around 3 months now and still find it so much fun. Tried various other 500's from Honda and Kawasaki but this one fitted me down to the ground (I'm only 5'6" so literally 😂). Good review again Lofty.
8:31 “give it a bit of thrashin” and proceeds to ride like a real maniac! 😮 Under the speed limit! 😂😂😂😂 Do some wheelies bro! Let’s see some burnouts! That’s thrashin the bike bro! 😂

Hey TLB, I think the Eliminator is a handsome bike! That "baloney tube" of an exhaust pipe must be replaced immediately! Here, in America, we can get the ike in white, bright orange/gloss black & a mat grey. It's a great choice for a first bike!🏍️👍😎. Doug
@@rajeevwx budget bike with simple suspension....take it slow, it will go any where....ride it like a KTM 450exec and you will struggle....thanks for watching
Difficult call for me. I was impressed with how much fun you had. Looks wise Royal Enfield retro look works for me, but they are proper heavy, same as my 1250 bandit give or take without the go. Don't like the USB port. Jury is out for now.
@@Dave45d not a Cruiser fan, but this engine is just fantastic...not sure if it is used in other platforms. It is a far more tractable than the 452cc engine.....I really liked it....thanks for watching
Nice job!
@bert6744 thanks for watching
Great review of a great bike. I would love to own one.

You are 100% correct about the USB. It is the worst looking thing on the bike even worse than the muffler.
its gross...thanks for watching
@theloftybiker3090 I bought a white one without a usb. I'm getting used to the big muffler. I like how quiet it is.

No absolutely fine, my cousin rode mine and is 5'2"@@TotesCoolio

Rode the Rebel, but I think that this is way more fun. :) Would love to try one. Nice video bro. Enjoyed.

@@theloftybiker3090 I see.
Your shinbones look to be the same length as my entire legs. This bike would suit me nicely.
Edit: Good ride, enjoyed watching.

i trully love the rebel but i think eliminator is the better bike here
@@equalfps me toooooo
Is it called the Eliminator because they Eliminated the front mudguard?
@@franktreadwell3442 probably Frank....more likely to reference taking on the Rebel.....thanks for watching
Eliminator referencing their old 80s era eliminator line which was a drag bike
