LIGHT AND FRIENDLY FOR FIRST-TIME RIDERS

The Eliminator® 125 is a lightweight motorcycle with a low seat height and a friendly powerband, making it an excellent first bike for new riders


The Eliminator 125 is powered by an air-cooled, 125cc, four-stroke, single-cylinder engine specially tuned for low- and mid-range torque, making it perfect for around-town riding. The electric starter makes getting underway easy, and a convenient five-speed transmission allows the rider to use the engine’s full potential.

The engine is mounted in a high-tensile steel, double-cradle frame, while 33mm forks and a steel swingarm with twin, five-way preload-adjustable shocks provide a smooth, comfortable ride. A single front disc brake provides ample stopping power for this small cruiser, and chrome-plated wire spoke wheels are featured at both ends.

Available in black for 2005, the Eliminator 125’s styling features include a stepped seat with laid-back riding comfort for two, a stretched 3.4-gallon fuel tank, straight-flow exhaust and chrome-plated single headlight.

Is there a backrest available for the Eliminator 125?

Why is this the only 125cc street bike available in this country, and why does it cost almost as much as a 250? Honda sells the Wave all over the Pacific rim for about a thousand bucks. Are they afraid that the availability of small interurban transport bikes will cut into the market for the much larger displacement machines that they do offer? I wonder.

top speed is 65 MPH for the Eliminator 125. Not a Interstate bike! But i love mine for the city. If i want to move fast i get on my other bike (Honda Shadow Spirit with drag pipes and air kit).
