Is the Kawasaki Eliminator 450 good for beginners?

Broadly yes. With 451cc and 45 hp @ 9000 rpm, the Kawasaki Eliminator 450 is manageable for newer riders and is roughly A2-friendly. Confirm licence eligibility for your market and build confidence gradually.

Is the Kawasaki Eliminator 450 good for shorter riders?

Often yes. The 734mm seat height is on the lower side, so shorter riders frequently reach the ground with confidence. A low seat or lowering options can help further.

Is the Kawasaki Eliminator 450 good for touring?

The Kawasaki Eliminator 450's 12L tank means more frequent fuel stops on a long trip. It can still tour, but a larger or auxiliary tank helps on big miles.
