2004 Kawasaki Eliminator 125 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2004 Kawasaki Eliminator 125 classic motorcycle, Kawasaki pairs a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. 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), 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, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

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, while factory top speed is listed at 102 km/h (63 mph).
