2024 Kawasaki Eliminator 400 Unveiled in Japan, Gets New Colour Options and More Features

Kawasaki has unveiled the 2024 edition of the Eliminator in Japan, which is available in three variants – Eliminator, Eliminator SE, and Eliminator Plaza Edition. The new iteration of the bike is equipped with several new features. While the design and architecture of the Japanese cruiser remain unchanged, new colour options have been introduced to give it a more contemporary appearance.

The Plaza variant is available in Pearl Sand Khaki or Pearl Storm Grey, while the entry-level model comes solely in a black paint scheme. The SE variant is offered in two dual-tone options: Phantom Blue with Ebony and Metallic Flat Spark Black with Metallic Matte Dark Green. Additionally, the SE model features an enhanced headlight cowl design.

The Eliminator 400 SE and Plaza versions boast additional features, including USB connections for mobile device charging and a new dual-camera system compatible with GPS, with one camera mounted at the front and one at the rear. In its native market, the Kawasaki bike is expected to hit the market in March this year, followed by availability in other nations. Let’s take a look at the bike's specifications and features.

Kawasaki Eliminator Launched in India

Kawasaki introduced the new Eliminator with a notable 451cc parallel-twin engine, at the beginning of January 2024. The bike's stylistic features include a low seat, circular LED headlamps, flat handlebars, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, and an extended tail portion. It is priced at Rs 5.62 lakh (ex-showroom).

The bike's new engine has a longer stroke (6.8mm), wider throttle bodies (32mm), and a larger 5.8-litre airbox. All this allows the unit to have superior low-end torque delivery and a larger displacement. The rated power and torque outputs are 42.6Nm at 6,000rpm and 45bhp at 9,000rpm.
