I am riding this 2025 Eliminator 500 since the beginning of December and can't wait for the hot season to hit some mountain pass!

Underappreciated bike IMO, looks stunning. Congrats!

It's a Ninja 500 as a cruiser. I like how it looks, but I can't get over the cruiser ergonomics.

It doesn't have cruiser ergonomics though. It's got a very standard riding position with mid controls and upright stance. It's like a mini Rocket 3 R

Coming from a smaller 125cc, that was a Scrambler, I can understand this, in the end as much as I love the Eliminator, probably the Z650 R, that was my 2nd option, I would really like to have both one day.....maybe....
