Did I mention it's a 500cc Vulcan?? Those engines are bulletproof. They should bring back the Eliminator.
Kawasaki does still offer the Eliminator 125. Which Eliminator would you like to see them bring back?

I rode one of those at my MSF course. It was a fun little bike. It is still on the Kawasaki USA website.

A larger version would be neat. It was different than all the rest of the bikes at the MSF course. But you could say the same of the lone Nighthawk 250 they had there as well.

Same here. My very first miles riding a motorcycle were on the Eliminator 125. If Kawasaki offered an Eliminator 250, I would have given it very serious consideration. Only if the frame was a little larger, though; the Eliminator 125 was a little cramped for me.

The Vulcan 500 was just fine, though, and that was another leading candidate for purchase as my first bike. I came that close to buying one with 46,000 miles on it. It was a one owner bike in spectacular shape, but was sold the day before I had the chance to see it.
Current ride: 2007 Yamaha Virago 250
