Folks --City Motorcycle wreckers have a Kawasaki 250 Eliminator in stock.
its done about 30000km and is in pretty darn Tidy condition.
Its a really neat alternative to a SR250 or a GN 250 for a new rider who's um -"Verticly Challenged" The seat height is as low as a GN but Its actually got a pretty agressive look to it.
I think They want $2000 for it
Give thenm a yeodle cos they are having a closing down sale
28 Crummer Rd, Grey Lynn Auckland City

I really don't know --I have a funny feeling it may have had a buggered engine and they put a good engine in it.--But Im only guessing---ohh and yes mstrs--thats what it looks like

I have one of these - a really learner friendly bike that has a nice styly look to it.It is far nicer to look at than the GN, has more power, more everything....very comfortable too.
I often get comments on the size of it, most people think it is far bigger than a 250.
Great bike for someone out there looking for a reliable 250 to start off on

If it is the inline twin (not V) then it is essentially the same engine as a GPX. There are shitloads of GPX's around and still made new (I think) so parts are not a problem. Only 'issue' those engines have is an annoying clunking from the bottom end when cold at idle or as you start to rev them - they all do it, so it is nothing to be concerned about.

Tell you what, if you get it I'll teach you to ride it lol.

$2000 is cheap as for a 250 these days assuming nothing is wrong with it, it's a great deal.

Thay are a reasonable sized frame, quite long wheelbase. They will do up to 160kph. Eats a GN in every way. Don't muck about if you are interested. Drum just sold his for $3000 and it was tidy but not in exceptional condition.

Number please peeps :Oi:

And MSTRS, im 6'5", still think its big enough?

No idea on the ph number.
At 6'5', you are probably going to find that any 250 is going to seem small

Yeah the Eliminator is a great bike.

Papers say 28HP as opposed to the 20HP of the GN. I had her up to $1.50 and I'm 90-odd kilos, but really she was more comfortable at sub $1.20.

Averaged 24 km to the litre, so a pocket friendly commuter.

Mine was on 60k when I sold it but it ran beautifully and didn't use any oil or water (oh yeah, they're water cooled). Like Mstrs says, they sound like a bag of rusty spanners when starting up - but soon quiet down when you're moving.

Actually, I miss that bike. I hope its happy somewhere.
