2024 Kawasaki Eliminator | Motorcyclist

Curb weight is heavier than its Ninja 500 (370–377 pounds, claimed) and Z500 (370–373 pounds, claimed) counterparts at 395 pounds (SE model) on the Cycle World automotive scales. On our Dynojet 250i dynamometer, the 2024 Kawasaki Eliminator produced 47.2 hp at 10,430 rpm and 29.0 lb.-ft. of torque at 7,510 rpm. Sporty handling and a quick-revving engine classify the Eliminator as a lightweight performance cruiser. We appreciate its ability to carve up a canyon road and connect corners with the engine’s roughly 10,500 rpm rev range. But limited cornering clearance reduces the bike’s ability to lean during spirited riding.
