Eliminator performs very well , exceeding what I had expected , proving that some cruisers are more than just about the looks .
THE SKINNY Ultimately , this bike ticks more boxes than it was given in the first place . It ’ s not just a cruiser , it ’ s not just a commuter or a replacement for the high horsepower bikes of old . It ’ s all of it . This little cruiser is so capable in so many different
situations . Sure it may not have full fairings , clips-ons or huge ape hangers , but it ’ s such a useful bike . You could happily carry a pillion , stack up some luggage on the back and rip down the South Island . With an ever increasing demand for more practical and economical motorcycles , manufacturers are producing some seriously impressive machines , and Kawasaki demonstrates this perfectly with the brilliant Eliminator 500 .
