RIDE REVIEW I 2024 KAWASAKI ELIMINATOR
P98
mately seven mph or less, or
while stopped. This makes it an
absolute no-brainer when trying
to find neutral at intersections.
Then, at takeoff, simply pull the
clutch lever in, tap the gearshift
lever, and off you go. A slip/assist
clutch also aids in downshifting.
The Eliminator's strong bot
-
tom end transitions nicely into
a sporty midrange around the
4000 rpm mark. It's here where
the engine comes alive, and you
start feeling some of that fun-
loving Ninja DNA. From there, it
pulls nicely through the bike's six
speeds and without excessive
vibes. It certainly feels sporty.
The lightweight nature of the
bike doesn't require a whole
host of power to get you going,
and the bike feels nimble at
speed and handles nicely. You
won't get tired from muscling
the Eliminator around while en
route. Our ride cruised through
twisty back roads with a few
freeway transfers, and a 70-mph
pace was no problem for the
versatile Eliminator.
The meter is tidy and
modern-looking.
