Kawasaki USA has pulled the wraps off the Eliminator 450, a bigger-engined version of the Eliminator 400

Eliminator 400-like, authentic cruiser looks with a raked-out front and overall low-slung stance

But it does boast of some modern bits like an assist & slipper clutch & smartphone connectivity

451cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin mill | Increase in displacement is due to a 6mm longer stroke

Makes a solid 43Nm, nearly 6Nm more than the Eliminator 400!

Two colourways- Pearl Robotic White & Pearl Storm Gray | The former looks nice and elegant

41mm telescopic fork, dual shocks & disc brakes comprise underpinnings

USD 6,649 (Rs 5.49 lakh) for the non-ABS variant | USD 6,949 (Rs 5.73 lakh) for the ABS one

There’s also an Eliminator SE on sale | Gets exclusive colours, different seat, headlight cowl, fork gaiters and a USB charger

Bigger engine and hence more torque than the Japan-spec Eliminator 400
