Kawasaki has revised the pricing of its stylish cruiser, the Eliminator, for the 2025 model year in India. The motorcycle is now priced at ₹5.76 lakh (ex-showroom), marking a ₹14,000 increase over its launch price of ₹5.62 lakh in January 2024. Despite the hike, the 2025 Eliminator arrives with no cosmetic or mechanical updates.

No Visual or Feature Upgrades for 2025
Staying true to its original design, the Kawasaki Eliminator continues to sport the same Metallic Flat Spark Black paint scheme. It features a classic cruiser silhouette with a round LED headlamp, teardrop-shaped fuel tank, and a distinctive megaphone-style exhaust. Riders also get a circular LCD instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, dual-channel ABS, and Kawasaki’s Ergo-Fit system for personalized ergonomics.

Powered by Ninja-Based 451cc Engine
The heart of the Eliminator is a 451cc parallel-twin engine derived from the now-discontinued Ninja 400’s 399cc unit. Kawasaki achieved the increase in displacement by extending the stroke by 6.8mm. The engine delivers 44 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 46 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 rpm. It comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox and benefits from a slip-and-assist clutch for smoother gear shifts.

Cruiser Comfort Meets Modern Tech
Built on a trellis frame, the Eliminator uses telescopic front forks and twin shock absorbers at the rear for a comfortable ride. The braking setup includes a 310mm semi-floating disc at the front and a 220mm disc at the rear. A low seat height of 735mm, ground clearance of 150mm, and a kerb weight of just 176 kg make it accessible and easy to handle for riders of varying skill levels.
Final Thoughts: Kawasaki Eliminator
While the ₹14,000 price hike may raise eyebrows, the Kawasaki Eliminator still remains a strong contender in the mid-size cruiser segment with its modern features, stylish design, and performance credentials. However, potential buyers should note that the 2025 version brings no new features or visual changes to the table.
