Kawasaki Eliminator Price in Bangalore

Riding this beast for the last 10 months, almost completed 15000 kms.
Pros: Great power, good road grip, great handling in high speeds, good pickup, good power to weight ratio, very stylish, head turner.
Cons: Overpriced, Maintenance is a bit costly, service interval is very less, spare parts are very costly, ground clearance is a bit less, bit of heating issue in traffic, accessories not available.
Overall worth buying this bike if you really love cruise bike and awesome for short riders like me 😎

About the Reviewer

Took delivery of Eliminator on April 4th. Completed 1000kms and first service by 25th April.
Buying experience - Got it from JBM Kawasaki Chennai. Lot of confusion on pricing. Online prices were showing 6.60L but I had to pay 7.1L However, they gave invoice for 6.6L which matched online price, when asked they said it's a system miskate and they again generated revised invoice for 7.1L. Showroom couldn't provide test drive vehicle even after waiting for 1 month. Had to buy without test drive.
Pros:
1) Good acceleration
2) Good stability at speeds
3) Good traction at high gears at slow speeds
4) 25kmpl, decent mileage for 450cc
5) Unique in this segment
Cons:
1) Too expensive, no value for money
2) No accessories available
3) Lot of vibrations
4) Upto 3rd gear, gears are clunky and hard
5) Not a comfortable riding position. Neither a cruiser not a sports bike
6) Engine knocks in regular petrol, needs premium petrol
7) Long turning radius
8) Pillion seat is a joke
9) Poor head light visibility
10) Basic console
11) Poor quality switches
12) Only available in black

About the Reviewer

The bike looks more muscular than we see in the images, I rode this bike for a week and I don’t see any issues with its performance, it’s kind of a perfect urban cruiser with a mix of both modern and the cruiser world, if you are tall and if you are thinking the bike won’t fit you in, it’s not the case. The bike ergo fits well for both tall and short riders, no heating issues as the liquid coolant works as a saviour even in the city traffic, the only downside is the body is quiet naked and exposed to our road conditions and we have zero after market support for this bike in India as the sales is quiet less. Tip : you can go with the ninja 500 radiator gaurd for the eliminator. Rest it looks like it needs an import.
