shaft parallel twins.

Unlike traditional
cruisers, the
Eliminator offers
a more traditional
upright riding
position.
Eliminator achieves what it sets out to
do—make life easy, approachable and
fun for the newbie and even the more
experienced rider. It's also affordable
and has looks you can be proud of. And
you'll never be mistaken as being the
"new guy."
