Positioned in Kawasaki's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2025 Kawasaki Eliminator features a 451 cc (27.5 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 45.4 HP (33.1 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 42.6 Nm (31.4 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 100.7 HP per liter and a 3,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (9,000 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 measures 176 kg (388 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.26 HP/kg (3.88 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 735 mm (28.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,519 mm (59.8 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 12.87-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.8 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 339 km (211 miles) between fill-ups.
