Kawasaki Eliminator 500 and 500 SE Get New Colours for 2025

News Story

Kawasaki has announced exciting new colour options for the Eliminator 500, catering to the European market. These changes bring a fresh look for both the standard Eliminator 500 and the Eliminator 500 SE models for 2025, but there are no mechanical updates to these motorcycles.

New Colour Options for the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 and 500 SE

For 2025, Kawasaki introduces one new colour for each model. The standard Eliminator 500 will now be available in Pearl Robotic White, while the Eliminator 500 SE will come in the sleek Metallic Matte Carbon Gray/Flat Ebony. These fresh colours elevate the overall appeal of these classic motorcycles.

Unchanged Performance: Mechanics Remain the Same

Although new colours add a visual upgrade, Kawasaki has made no mechanical changes to the Eliminator 500 and its SE counterpart for 2025. Both bikes are powered by a 451cc parallel-twin engine that delivers 45hp at 9,000rpm and 42.6Nm of torque at 6,000rpm. This robust performance remains consistent, ensuring that riders enjoy the same dependable power and smooth ride.

International Colour Highlights: Candy Steel Furnace Orange

While the new Pearl Robotic White and Metallic Matte Carbon Gray/Flat Ebony options are exclusive to Europe, Kawasaki has also introduced some striking shades internationally. One standout option is the Candy Steel Furnace Orange/Ebony for the Eliminator 500 SE, which has captured attention with its bold and eye-catching design. Though this colour isn’t available in India yet, enthusiasts hope Kawasaki might bring this vibrant option to Indian shores in the future.

Technical Specifications: Kawasaki Eliminator 500 Overview

The Eliminator 500 features a telescopic fork at the front and twin shocks at the rear, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride. The braking system includes single discs at both the front and rear, paired with dual-channel ABS for added safety. The motorcycle has a ground clearance of 150mm and a seat height of 735mm, making it easily accessible for shorter riders. Additionally, the bike’s weight of 176kg and 13-litre fuel tank ensure balance and decent range for longer rides.

Pricing and Competitors

In India, the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is priced at Rs 5.62 lakh (ex-showroom). While this price point is on the higher side, it places the Eliminator 500 in direct competition with the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 and the BSA Gold Star, both of which offer similar classic designs and powerful engines.

A Stylish Update for the Classic Cruiser

With its new colour options, the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 and 500 SE remain a strong choice for those looking for a stylish and powerful cruiser. While the mechanical aspects of the bikes stay unchanged, the fresh visual appeal of these new colours will certainly attract attention.
