Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits beginner and novice riders thanks to its small single-cylinder engine and light, manageable weight.
PurposeIt's built for relaxed cruiser-style commuting and short leisure rides rather than performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light 145kg weight make it easy to handle and confidence-inspiring for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterIt has a laid-back, classic cruiser feel with modest low-end torque and an easygoing, unintimidating riding experience.
Not Ideal ForIt's not suited to riders wanting high speed, aggressive cornering, off-road capability, or serious two-up touring comfort.

Rider Fit Visualizer

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 680mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1999 Kawasaki Eliminator 125, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
