I'm a knight to share, thank you for your attention.
The first picture is incomprehensible, isn't it? normal, that's the value and meaning of our existence.
Kawasaki's extremely simple official announcement is an important message, its simplicity is that there are only heroes and heroines but no motorcycles, and its importance is reflected in the two keywords "April 29" and "Eliminator".
So what does this tweet want to express? To put it simply, Honda's CM500's most direct competitor ELIMINATOR400 will land in the mainland market and complete a new round of harvest for the mid-displacement prince car.
Officially defined as a street cruiser, the Kawasaki Eliminator is a family of models with a 400cc and 450cc displacement, and can also be subdivided into different versions.
The Japanese domestic market is mainly 400 cc, and there will be 450 cc in the European and American markets, while the mainland market should take 400cc as the first product, and its local price is 869,000 yen, which is equivalent to about 40,600 yuan, and the preliminary estimate is that the mainland market will be within 50,000 yuan.
The biggest charm of the Kawasaki Eliminator is that its appearance will be easier to get a sense of identity in the current market than the CM500, because the car can not only take into account the retro elements and American cruising genes, but also have certain sports attributes, it is a prince motorcycle that can meet the aesthetic preferences of motorcyclists of different ages. Destined to be what you want.
Judging from the official introduction, the car has a slim, low and long style, and can bring light and flexible handling under the premise of comfort, so as to meet the multiple needs of daily travel and long-distance travel, and can make it more personalized through the blessing of some modified parts, so it belongs to a new Japanese model with both internal and external repairs.
The 400 version is on the same platform as the Z400 and Ninja400, which have already been launched in the mainland, with a maximum horsepower of 48 hp and a maximum torque of 39 Nm, and the 450 version will extend the connecting rod travel to bring the actual displacement to 450 cc, so that its maximum torque will reach 43 Nm, and the power will be significantly enhanced.
In terms of body, the car will use a steel tube woven frame, and the overall structure will be relatively compact, including a length of 2250mm, a wheelbase of 1520mm, a seat height of 735mm, a fuel tank capacity of 12 kg, and will be equipped with 18 front and rear 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels and 130 front and 150 vacuum tires.
In terms of configuration, the original version is equipped with front and rear dual-camera dash cams, LED light sources for the whole car, round retro mobile phone interconnection instruments, front and rear disc brakes dual-channel ABS, etc. In terms of configuration performance, it is not very rich, but this is the case with Japanese models at this level, so the configuration is not its highlight.
Through the above brief introduction, we can see that the biggest attraction of this Kawasaki Prince car, Eliminator 400, which is about to meet with the majority of car lovers, is the appearance, followed by the body structure that pays more attention to handling performance.
As for the configuration and power, there are not many highlights in the current market, but even so, as long as the price of this car is low-key enough, it is undoubtedly a hot product in the Kawasaki 400 class.
After all, this displacement range happens to lack a prince car that can connect the past and the next and highlight its own characteristics, so those who pay attention to this type of model can pay attention to it, and it will be officially announced on April 29.
