Eliminator 500 2024

When the streets are calling, answer with the all-new Eliminator 500. This bike shakes up convention with a sleek and low design, a low and comfortable seat, and light and easy handling for the most approachable cruiser from Kawasaki yet. Don’t overthink it—timeless design has been combined with modern technology so you can Just Ride.

Easy

Offering a natural riding position that accommodates a wide range of riders, the Eliminator inspires confidence from the moment you sit on it. Its light weight and good mass centralization make light work of lifting the bike off its side-stand and contribute to low-speed maneuverability. Its highly accessible, stress-free character makes the Eliminator an ideal everyday riding partner.

Active

Complementing the rider-friendly character that will bring a smile to the faces of riders who want to enjoy the exhilaration offered by a Kawasaki motorcycle, the Eliminator is backed up by active performance derived from its Ninja-based engine and lightweight trellis frame.

All-New Trellis Frame

Inspired by the Ninja 400’s high performance trellis frame, the high tensile steel construction achieves the Eliminator’s low seat height while maintaining the active performance potential of its sportier brother.

Ninja-Based Parallel Twin Engine with Strong Low-End Performance

The Eliminator’s Parallel Twin engine offers strong low-end torque, greatly benefiting low-speed control and maneuverability, and contributing to low-stress everyday riding. At highway speeds, its strong power and linear response make its Ninja lineage apparent.

Relaxed, Upright Riding Position

A natural riding position with handle grips located where your arms naturally extend and foot pegs positioned so that your legs do not feel cramped offers rider reassurance and contributes to stress-free everyday riding.

Light, Natural Handling

Complementing the long and low style, chassis geometry was carefully selected to achieve light, natural handling. The Eliminator’s easy handling character adds to rider confidence and contributes to stress-free riding.

All-Digital Instrumentation with Tachometer

Compact, round, all-digital LCD instrument panel offers a modern touch that complements the Eliminator’s authentic style. The highly legible layout includes a bar style tachometer and gear position indicator – visible reminders of the Eliminator’s active riding potential. Smartphone connectivity enables riders to access instrument functions for an enhanced motorcycling experience.

18”/16” Wheels

Combining a long wheelbase with 18” front and 16” rear wheels helps achieve the low head position and long and low style.

Horizontal Design

A long and low design with elegant proportions is created by the vertically thin fuel tank and the horizontal lines evident from the head pipe to the original tail. The design of the impressive, mid-class sized body suggests a balance of active performance and composure.
