    Wotsa Veliminator

    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?
    I have just found out that they have removed the word gullible from the dictionary

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

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    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)

    Pic of the V-twin version here.

    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

    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.

    Interesting name for a bike

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

    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

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