Kawasaki Eliminator 450: The Eliminator, a new urban cruiser from Kawasaki, has been released for the US market. There are three versions of it: regular, ABS, and SE ABS. Each one has visual and ABS availability differences. The Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650, which also has a mid-size twin-cylinder engine and cruiser design, is the Eliminator’s main opponent.
Kawasaki Eliminator 450 powertrain details
With a few modifications to better suit the Eliminator’s function and personality, the engine of the Ninja 400 is also used. In order to increase displacement and improve low-end torque delivery, the parallel-twin engine’s stroke is lengthened by 6.8mm. Additionally, a larger 5.8-litre airbox and 32mm throttle bodies are added to the Eliminator. An automatic transmission with six speeds is paired with this engine, which has a 49 horsepower output.
Features
The bike has a circular instrument cluster that is totally digital and round LED headlights inspired by classic Eliminators. Although LEDs are used for both the turn signals and the tail lights, they might also be round.
The more expensive SE edition adds fork gaiters, a waterproof USB-C charging port, a distinctive leather seat, a Mitsuba Sankova GPS, and two front and rear cameras with dashcam functionality.
Price
The Japanese business is only releasing the Standard and SE variants. Costs start at 759,000 yen for the former (roughly about Rs 4.7 lakh) and 858,000 yen for the latter (roughly about Rs 5.31 lakh). It hasn’t been confirmed whether Kawasaki will ship it to India or not.
