Wotsa Veliminator

[Silage]

When stopping at some lights on the way home from work last nite I came up to a red cruisery V-twin looking bike with Veliminator on the tank. In the few secs we were stopped I didn't catch any other markings. It looks like a largish capacity bike BUT had a huge L plate on the back.

Checked out the web but nuttin too obvious as a match unless it was actually a 125 or 250 in disguise. Anyone know anything about these?

Kawasaki Eliminator EL is a 'crusiery-thing'. comes in 250 and up. 250 can be in-line or v-twin.

I nearly bought one a couple of years back but the dicky looking exhaust system put me off (or was it that I was about $500 short of the asking price)

Ugly looking things, Hope you didn't go blind Jimmy.

Looking at the badging on in, I'm gonna guess you were to the left of the bike? Would make it look like it was a V ELIMINATOR. Easily confused lol

:doh: I quite like mine

The latest models are V twins, they're longer and more crusy stylish. They have a bit less power and a bit more torque (given that the originals have max torque at 10000rpm! :slap: ). Never officially imported to NZ, few around

Damn nice looking bikes, them. And yeah, I couldn't believe it was only a 250 when I saw one. Had to check the rego label before I believed it.

[Finn]

especially a 250. What would they call a 1200cc version?

[Ivan]

have ya seen american pie it might just be a miss spell of Sherminator

Dam good bikes actually (see profile pic). Comes in 250, 400 and 900cc. 400 and 900 are shaft driven.

Great if youre a learner but dont want to ride around on a wee machine. Most people think the 250 is much bigger. Also good for the vertically challenged - I'm 5'10'' and can flat foot it.

Suposedly has "the largest rear wheel of all the 250's".

That's MY bike in MSTRS's pic and I happen to think she is real pretty! I sincerely hope, young man, that you weren't seriously insulting HER! You still owe me a coffee-if you insist on making derogatory remarks, you'll owe me a LOT more than that! :eyepoke: Cheeky young whipper snapper

Sorry............. :bleh:

(Runs away and hides behind that bush with the funny coloured leaves on the corner of X and Y streets, they will never find me)

[yungatart]

With suitable grovelling on your part, I will accept your apology!

[Waylander]

And photographic evidence of said grovelling to be posted shortly after.

You could never get a photo of me grovelling. Im a biker, Im too tough to grovell
