2003 Kawasaki EL 125 Eliminator Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Kawasaki's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2003 Kawasaki EL 125 Eliminator features a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12 HP (8.8 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9.6 Nm (7.1 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm. With a specific output of 96.8 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the EL 125 Eliminator measures 135 kg (298 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.25 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 680 mm (26.8 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,470 mm (57.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
