The 2024 Eliminator and Eliminator SE are cruiser machines based around a 451cc parallel twin cylinder engine. With a more relaxed riding position than the current crop of 400cc Kawasaki road bikes, the new Eliminator models are expected to be popular with riders looking for an easy to ride machine with a low seat height at an affordable price.
Features of the Eliminator include:
- 451 cc parallel-twin engine with strong low-end performance
- Low 735 mm seat height
- Learner-approved model
- Round retro-style headlight
- 18″ front, 16″ rear wheels
- Lightweight trellis frame
- Twin-shock rear suspension
- All-digital instrumentation with tachometer and gear position indicator
The SE model differentiates for the standard version with its Special Edition colour and graphics and a with two-pattern leather seat.
Pricing will be announced closer to the new model’s arrival, expected late 2023.
Australian Road Rider is also predicting the engine will appear in other model – maybe a Ninja 450 and Z450 – but maybe not in 2024.
