Kawasaki Eliminator 125 reviews

I had this dirt bike for about a year or two. The comfort is ok not really the best. It's pretty quick. The total speed I'll say about 60mph. It's a good bike to ride around on and if you want to hit it, it gets it right away. Show less

I was originally considering purchasing a moped for city commuting and occasional road trips. Research convinced me that a slightly more powerful vehicle is a better choice for safety reasons. The Eliminator can easily hold the pace, even on highways or interstates. Fuel economy is an honest 85 mpg! This is even better than some mopeds/scooters. The tank capacity of 3.6 gallons creates a nice cruising cushion. Driving comfort is very reasonable. My bike has never failed to start and maintenance costs have been very reasonable for about 3,000 miles this summer. This bike is most comfortable between 30-50 mph. The fifth gear is very elastic and the nicely-purring engine delivers enough torque even in the lower rpms. In summary, it is a very nice, reliable bike for city riding and smaller road trips with awesome economy. Show less

This bike is extremely efficient. I am averaging around 75 miles per gallon, and that is in stop-and-go around the town traffic. Its small engine size might lead you to believe that it lacks power, but I'm still able to beat cars off the line and it's really all the power you need to get around town. You won't be blowing people away, but speed limits around here top out at 40 mph anyways. The narrow profile of the bike allows you to lane-split freely and beat L.A. traffic. Commutes that used to take me up to 50 minutes now take 10. The bike also looks great. Chrome in all the right places, and I've gotten a lot of comments about how nice it looks. The engine is bulletproof and should provide you years of reliable, problem free riding. I highly recommend this bike. Show less

I bought this bike used and I've got to tell ya, it is one heck of a bike. The powerband has a wicked hit. I was surprised in the trails with this bike. It could ride up hills and get through the tight turns. I mostly ride MX but ride some trails too. If you're looking for a really reliable MX bike that works in the trails too, this is the one!

I bought a 1996 Eliminator for my first time on the road. Excellent starter bike. I travel about 50 miles everyday for work on the interstate. This bike loves the interstate. 80-90 mph is smooth as glass; although I do not recommend that speed for everybody. I am getting a larger bike this year for cruising because I'm older and wiser now. If you ever get a chance, buy this bike. It'll fool everybody! Show less

I bought this bike about 3 months ago and have enjoyed it very much. I have only filled it with gas 4 times since I bought it. This bike is a lot of fun and perfect for people who want a nice, easy bike to learn on, but want to keep up with the city traffic once they know what they are doing. This bike is fairly quick, and will out accelerate most cars (if they're not racing you). I changed the front gear and now the bike will cruise nicely at 65. The back break tends to lock up if you hit it too hard due to the light weight of the bike. Overall it is a great bike! Buy one. Show less

I GOT THIS BIKE TO GO TO AND FROM WORK. IT GOT 76 MPG ON MY FIRST TANK. WOW!!!! THIS IS A GREAT BIKE IF YOU don't NEED TO GO OVER 60 MPH. SUPER RIDE. SUPER QUIET. A GREAT EASY TO RIDE FIRST BIKE TO GET USED TO THE ROAD. Show less

Ok, I got this bike for my thirteenth birthday, I am now 17, 4 years and it is still kicking. I put this thing through hell and back. I have had some trouble with the carb clogging up, but you'll have that, I just ran some carb cleaner through it, cleans right up. And I have run into countless trees with it, no major damage. I have had to do no major work to it, just change the oil and all. I even jump it all the time, and it handles that well, because it is not a jumping bike. I live out in the country, so I have all kinds of terrain out here, it takes to them all quite nicely too. Show less

This bike has been my sole means of transportation for the past three years. It keeps up with traffic in the city (even though I'm usually maxing the engine out) and has never needed to be serviced, save the rear brake recall a couple years back. The longest trip that I make (a few times a year back home) is about 68 miles at a steady 55-60 mph. It takes an hour and a half, and my legs don't really start to burn until the last half hour. She's survived this trip numerous times, and I plan to make many more with her. It'll scream at high rpms, but get used to it if you plan on relying on it. I love this bike and plan to keep it even after I finally break down and buy a practical vehicle. Show less

I got this bike from a shop a copuple months again and I love it. It's got a great low end power and awesome mid and high power. The first week I had this bike my yard was torn to pieces. Ruts everywhere. I wanted a motocross bike so I can learn how to ride tracks so when I turn 18 I can start and take off. My dad won't let me race yet but this bike would make a killer motocross bike.
