Kawasaki Eliminator has come back to the world market as a 400cc cruiser motorcycle. The manufacturer has revived the name to cash on the nostalgia and has now kept it for the Japanese market only. Earlier, the Ninja 400 was also for the Japanese market only. However, it did make it to the Indian market as well. We expect the Eliminator to come to the Indian market too in the future. While the styling is new, it still is an old-school concept. The engine is the same as seen in the Ninja 400 but with specific changes that are seen in the specification sheet. Internationally, this is set to take on the Honda Rebel series of motorcycles that exist worldwide in various displacement categories. For the rest of the displacement, the Kawasaki range has the Vulcan, but that is still limited to the 650cc category. Let’s us look at the details of the cruiser.
・398cm³ in-line 2-cylinder engine based on a sports model that delivers excellent controllability and plenty of torque
・Low and long form with a horizontal tone from the tank to the tail
・Relaxed riding position with natural steering wheel and step position

・18-inch front and 16-inch rear wheels that realize a low and long style
