Kawasaki Eliminator 500 SE (2024 onwards)

The Eliminator 500 is a lightweight cruiser inspired by the older generation of Kawasaki motorcycles from the 1980s. The bike comes with a 451cc parallel twin engine and it is fully A2 legal. Thanks to its smaller size and lower power output, the model is suitable for both short persons and beginner riders.

There are two models available. You can either buy the standard edition of the bike, or the fancier SE model, which comes with a metallic matte carbon paint, fork gaiters, textured seat, and USB-C socket. You will get a compact LCD dash, LED lights, and ABS as standard.
