    I have the 400cc Eliminator, same bike in all other regards. It's great fun, torquey and nice and punchy at 7000rpm, loads of fun. The intake roar and exhaust sound are very throaty. It sounds way better then my z400. But, if you drop it, as I did when I grabbed too much front break turning at very low speed trying to get turned around on our narrow street after just finishing my first ride on it, you will damage plenty, including the gas tank.
    Other then that, it's a blast to ride, it loves being in the higher rpms and has fast revving motor

    I'm 64 and in order of capacity, my bikes have been 450cc, 750, 1100, 900 and 500.
    I went looking to buy a new CMX 500, but they also had a 450 Eliminator next to it.
    I'm conflicted, so I'd be grateful for any opinions.
    But I'm old and small, so I'm not looking for anything heavy or speedy.

    @genegoodwin8925 9 месяцев назад +1

    Thanks for the video. The Eliminator seems like a neat little bike. With it's 50 hp and lighter weught than the Vulcan S the performabce should be about the same. But I can buy a non ABS Vulcan S for just $700 more. So I think the 450cc Eliminator should have a lower price somewhere arounf $5800 then Kawasaki would sell a lot of them. Kawasaki really has their act together with all the parallel twins they are producing these days and all the models they put a arallel twin powerplant in. Go Kawasaki.

    I owned a ninja 250 for a few years and put 15,000 miles on it and no one ever mentioned rev matching to me. when I first heard about it I thought it was strange because it seemed like it would hinder deceleration. I'm looking into getting a new bike, maybe the eliminator 450 and I plan on learning the rev matching, it seems simple, but I still wonder if there's any debate about it.

    Ray, looking at this video again, I noticed a rectangular object strapped to your left wrist, and, the left side appears to be a viewing screen of some type. What is that please? I'm about to get into motorcycle riding after a 30 year wait. My "cc" range, because I'm a "NEWB" is 500-7500. I'm 58 years young and I think that this "cc" range is a sensible start point. Love your Texan drawl, and, may just have to get to Plano Texas to purchase that Eliminator model, or possibly, the Shadow" model. I look like a "senior" version of "Grizzly Adams"( burley teddy bear frame with a white moustache, beard and head hair). Doug

      I had a Rebel 500 and for me, it was a great bike. Slipper clutch was fantastic, light and easy to ride.
      My personal negatives: The seat is a nightmare after 60 minutes.
      The gearing is too short. You can be changing into third gear by the time you've crossed the intersection at the traffic lights.
      it's an ugly looking tank set up.
      No matter, it was a terrific bike to ride.
      Edit: My bike had the engine fairing which helped improve the looks. Filled that huge empty space between the front wheel and motor.

    It’s so strange I think I seen about 5/6 reviews on the eliminator other when yours and not one person have told about the room under the seat which I would think could be a big deal for some since I know people that don’t like having items in their pockets when they ride and without a room under the seat they would just have to get saddle bags or ride In a way they may be uncomfortable with while this bike have the space reviewers just don’t really talk about it
