Eliminator 125

1999 Kawasaki Eliminator 125 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 1999 Kawasaki Eliminator 125 custom - cruiser motorcycle, Kawasaki utilizes a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12 HP (8.8 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9.7 Nm (7.2 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. 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 Eliminator 125 measures 156 kg (344 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (13 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 paired with a rated consumption of 3.4 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 382 km (237 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 102 km/h (63 mph).
