Yknow what? The only thing seperating this piece of content you just made about these 2 bikes, from a professional youtuber, is your mic and camera. Great info, quick to the point, and you do your research. Thank you, and hopefully you'll keep up the work. 24 subs?! 25 now
I was contemplating between the two and had almost chosen Vulcan over eliminator untill I stumbled upon this video. The leg position and being able to stand on the foot rest in rough road/speed bumps is such an important point for me which no one had ever mentioned before and even I didn't think about it. Thank you for this review. 🙏
I love both. I tried several Vulcans with different ergo configurations. It's incredible the difference between them. A wrong setup can make you hate or love the motorcycle. I'm going for the Eliminator SE, which is more nervous, has fewer taxes, and theoretically less consumption. I live in the city, and the manoeuvrability of the Eliminator is excellent on tiny roads (I also tried it on the highway, and it responded great. The Vulcan's higher power and stability provide a different experience, but the Eliminator also performs as a bigger bike). The weight-to-horse ratio is lovely, and I love the classic look. It's a cruiser ninja. A sports bike with a cruiser look! It puts a smile on your face, but a better exhaust pipe could make you smile even more ;)
This is the best review video I've seen in a long time. You pointed out things very clear and understandable so even a guy like me could comprehend it. 😂
I was set on getting the Vulcan, and then I saw this vid. I’ve seen plenty of TH-cam channels with comparison vids of these bikes, but this vid actually made me change my mind about which bike to get. I’m gonna get the Eliminator for the one thing he said about hugging the tank. That’s exactly what my instructor had to tell me for me to feel comfortable. It made a huge difference being a beginner rider. Thank you for the review.
@@35764G In real world riding, my Son has gotten his to a 100 mph max he's 210lbs. He said there may be a little more there under the right conditions.
I got the same exact combination. I got my new 2024 Vulcan S earlier this year and I love it. When it came time to get my wife a motorcycle, she wanted the Eliminator and for good reason. It is lighter, more natural sitting position and easier to operate because of the light slipper clutch. I like both but I still love my Vulcan a bit more. We're both new riders and love the fun of riding.
Once the Eliminator has been out a while longer, I'd expect some pretty sweet mods for it will be on the market. One thing I didn't mention in the vid is that the Elimmie can get a slip on exhaust, and KSpeed Japan makes one that sounds sick! Anyways, I hope you really enjoy yours, and be safe!
I’m 5’8”, 60 y/o small frame 145 lbs. I have a 2013 V-Strom 650, but feel it is too too heavy and tall. Impossible to manually move it around, and I can’t even get it onto the center stand to clean/lube the chain. I’m seriously considering an Eliminator.
I personally. Love my 2019 vulcan s on the highway. Much better than my Yamaha MT07. It's light, agile, fast enough, and comfort after you get use to it. It's my daily driver, for work
Thank you very much for the review. Especially for the standing on the pegs part. I was looking for this at the reviews to understand the sitting position. 👍
Great review. You made points that, as you said, many aren't bringing up. I do not like my legs forward whatsoever. It turns me off to cruisers all the time. The eliminator however, is what I would want, while still being a cruiser. I really like the Eliminator, but my biggest concern would be comfort and capability when I'm 6'3" and 300lbs. Either way, I appreciate all the information and your perspective on this comparison.
I'm 6'4" and looking for a first bike after getting endorsement next month. Went to a store to look around was thinking the vulcan cause bigger but didn't have one but sat on the eliminator and I could see myself on that for a while comfortably, they where selling it for about $5,500 for the abs one. Ya I think I'm gonna get the eliminator being a baller on a budget and everything lol and never having been on a bike before in my life. Don't need to much speed or power, just enough for chill road and highway riding, as I'm going to be a very safe rider
Exactly my thougts and I am searching Eliminator 500 like for 1 month and not sure about height since there is not much info or I couldnt find... Did you buy yours and how does is feel as a 6'4"?? I am 6'2" do you think it will work on me too ? Thanks btw ride safe o7
Thank you for the great review! Helped a lot to choose my next motorcycle! I'm from Brazil 🇧🇷 and Eliminator just arrived here! Best regards my friend 🤘
Very cool video! Enjoyed watching it. My first bike is a 2019 Vulcan S ABS model. I love it, been trying to ride every day. I'm 49 and this is my first time riding. I have a channel that I uploaded video's to.
Great comparison thank you. I'm torn between both bikes, cost, storage, features, mucho macho factor, etc. One thing that bothers me is why they didn't put a center stand on the Vulcan. Every chain bike should have one IMO.
Great review. We had a Vulcan 650 me and my wife for several years and we like the styling actually of the Eliminator better but thought it would be a step down from the Vulcan for my wife as her bike.
Love my Vulcan S but the Eliminator certainly made me do my homework. What LCD headlight did you install, and did it throw any codes or cause any issues?
In the Vulcan S I put in this bulb from Amazon a.co/d/bOJRzpP and haven’t had any issues. The Eliminator has LEDs from the factory. Also on the Vulcan while you are replacing the headlight bulb there’s a marker light in the top of the lens, it’s a 194 type bulb that you could also LED swap, I haven’t, but it would make a mildly cleaner look tbh.
I love both but I got the eliminator only because Im a heavyset/big belly guy and Im too crouched on vulcan due to forward foot controls, Eliminator suits best for me as if Im riding a naked bike and my daily ride now. Great review though.
Back in November when i was looking at gettung a new bike i debated between the Vulcan S and the Eliminator. Went with the Eliminator because of of kighter weight making it more agile... i do a lotmof urban riding. And bevause of the mid controls....going down the road feet first feels off to me and the mid controls mean i can actually post when i see a bump instesd of taking all on the tail bone. And honestly, most of us wont even approach the limits of the Eliminator and it's less expensive
Hi from Bundaberg Australia 😊👍 im new motorcycle riding so id definitely go with the new 2024 Kawasaki Eliminator 450 , Im also looking at the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 , Still undecided 🤔🤔 i like both bikes , the Enfield Guerrilla has more technology that i like , but the Kawasaki Eliminator has more power , toss of the coin decision 🙈 Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🕺🍹
The Eliminator has a keyhole on the low side, turn it and the seat latches at the front and hinges at the rear. Underseat seat storage is just about nonexistent but there is a helmet hook under the seat for convenience.
I love my Eliminator too.... I am just getting back on a bike and I have only about 850+ miles. It is a fun bike to ride. I have a small front wind screen that encircles the odometer, speedometer, RPM, fuel gauge.... it isn't very big. The only problems I have had are the gas tank float..... and some oil seepage or leakage around the clutch cable actuator that goes into the transmission. Other then that I love my bike....
5,200 miles I still love it. I heard I would regret the smaller CC but it does great in town, mountains and I’d does not struggle at all on a 75mpg highway.
An eliminator user since sept 2023. Until this 2024 vulcan s with light brown gloss came out. Im itching to get that one too . Plus i wanna try the riding position as it is what cruisers should be.. ..still hoping to get extra cash for that hehe
They need to shove the engine from the Z900 or Z1000 into a cruiser chassis FAST. The XDiavel is sitting alone in the sport cruiser category. I like the 650s but it needs a little more power
That would be an amazing bike. To be fair there is the Z900RS that’s more matched to the XDiavel, as I don’t see that Ducati really having any traditional cruiser characteristics.
@@jackisoutsideThe Eliminator series started with the 900 back in the 80s. They are probably too scared because they don’t know if the 900 will sell in a cruiser frame. Imo it would become their best selling bike.
I love the look of both, but the 451cc Eliminator is just too small for a 6 foot tall, 330 pound fat man like me. I'm just about ready to make my purchase and I think I'm going for the Vulcan.
i am a 68 years o.ld biker and ijust bought an eliminator for my last bike i had 350cc ,750cc 2 stroke he2 ,1100r21981,couple 1100sportbike,agoldwing, ... and i love my eliminator canadian 52hp on rear wheel dyno it's very agile andthe big singledisc is strong enough for such a ;light bike.afet 12 it's will be my lastbike
I wish you would have showed both bikes at highway speeds, 60, 65, 70 mph and the rpm at those speeds. And told of the engine vivrations at those speeds. I looked at both the Vulcan S and the Eliminator. I bought the Eliminator SE for $1800 less than I could get the Vulcan S and the Eliminator came with a pasenger seat and pegs. When you look at horsepower per pound they are about the same, so I have about the same performance of the Vulcan S and still have $1800 in my pocket. I could have saved more if I didn't buy the Eliminator SE but I liked the orange and black with the cowl around the headlamp. I also liked the mid controls better the the forward controls on the Vulcan S.
@WheelsNotHeels I installed a windshield on mine and took it off the same day. It diverted all the wind to my ears. Any naked bike is going to have the wind in your face. Mine is a SE and I think that little cowl around the headlamp might help a little. Honestly I've cruised at 80 mph for a few miles and the wind wasn't that bad. I don't think I'd wAnt to go a couple hundred miles without a windshield, but I will find out next Spring
One thing I see a lot of folks overlook when talking bikess is the power to weight ratio [horsepower ÷ weight]. And between the Eliminator and the Vulcan S... yes, the Vulcan has a much larger displacement and more horsepower, but it's also a hundred pounds heavier. Their power to weight ratio is extremely close and actually favors the Eliminator.
For those considering the Eliminator, remeber this is the first year for it. So there arent as many accessories for it. But Webike in Japan is your friend for that for now.
Tried both. And, although I prefer Vulcan looks and engine torque, I would go for the Eliminator. Leg position and engine frecuency of vibrations are better in the small one. I think that Vulcan engine is much older than Eliminator's and I noticed this. I simply did not like the Vulcan.
I am new to motorcycles and I am getting my A license on Novemember just before I get married. I want to buy my first bike (currently own and drive an Nmax 155). I am madly in love with the CB-R, but I know that it's not a bike that will suit my needs nor my body. I have narrowed it down to Rebel and Vulcan. I want to use the bike for daily commute (except heavvy winter months since I live in Czechia) and trips/touring in europe. Would the Vulcan be ok for 2 people to tour? I don't have handy 30k euros for a harley, nor a BMW. Japanese quality and carefree maintenance means someone new liek me does not have to worry about it breaking down. My wife is afraid of riding her own bike so I am kinda forced to carry her as a passenger.
@@jimmythebeast8279 You can take a passenger on the Vulcan no problem, so long as you install the passenger seat, and I also recommend a passenger backrest such as the one you see on mine. It’s a TRex Racing brand part. Ride safe and I wish you and your wife-to-be many fun rides.
I actually hate the digital gauges. Especially the digital tachometers. Maybe it’s just because I’m old but I like the analog style gauges and well I don’t mind having a digital display to tell me roughly how much fuel I have left because we all know it’s a best guess scenario regardless whether it is analog or digital, I don’t need connectivity to an app of any kind. I I guess I just want less tech on my bikes.
I don’t have a problem with mine either personally, I just felt it needed a mention, cause being “feature rich” and all-digital-everything is the way the industry is going. You’re right though it is nice to have the option that isn’t.
I don't think it's fair to buy the power-to-weight ratio only from the bike. I would include the pilot's weight. Or with more weight than normal use of the motorcycle. And the torque-to-weight ratio, I understand, is equally important.
How much you can adjust Eliminator's mirrors? I can't remember whose review it was,but in his video this dude saying he couldn't see well behind and all he could see was his shoulders. Edit: Thanks for all the answers. Didn't end up buying Eliminator. No, the mirrors weren't the reason.
For me, that's true of literally every motorcycle. Generally, you can't widen mirrors without adding parts. I bought 2in extensions for my XV1700... you just unscrew the mirrors from the stalks, screw in the extensions, then screw the mirrors into the extensions. You can also get bar-end mirrors for most if not all motorcycles.
The stock mirrors on the Eliminator are kind of shit. Even angled al the way out, all i saw was my shoulders. But inexpensive to replace. I went with KiWav Medusa mirrors that cost me $40 new... much better field of vision and a larger viewing surfac and antiglare coating
@@weylins Yeah. I had a test drive couple days ago and the mirrors did bare minimum job for me. If i had bought Eliminator, i would have bought aftermarket ones for sure.

One of the very best comparison/review of these two bike I've seen. As a new rider it's the Eliminator for me
I got scared 😔.

I absolutely love my Eliminator! Already 2500 mi since January and it's a real blast to ride!
It's too much power for you.

Bonne revue de ces deux motos. Votre débit est excellent et votre voix est agréable à écouter. Continuez votre bon travail. Vous aurez du succès.
Thanks for doing this. I was up in the air as to which one. Looks like the eliminator it is.
Once the Eliminator has been out a while longer, I'd expect some pretty sweet mods for it will be on the market. One thing I didn't mention in the vid is that the Elimmie can get a slip on exhaust, and KSpeed Japan makes one that sounds sick!
Anyways, I hope you really enjoy yours, and be safe!
I have the k-speed exhaust and levers on my eliminator. It sounds fantastic. Just loud enough without being annoying
What a cool dude, from the heart review, What a cool neighbor to have, user reviews are far better than professional reviews.

Just went motocamping with a fair amount of gear loaded up on both of these bikes, neither of them struggled hauling up backcountry hilly roads!

Yamaha 950 Bolt.
Plain version white or red tank.

Very interesting Review , thanks!
I like them both but I own the Vulcan. Candy lime green😍
4000 miles on the Eliminator. Rear carrier and a tail bag are a must
what seat is that on the vulcan?
Easy. I choose the Kawi Vulcaminator ZXS 😂
Great video thanks for making
Putt,Putt,Putt...Needs a 270 Degree crank for a more pleasing sound. MT-07 Sounds sweet !!!
Old say is: Less cc, more fun! And I will add: Better milage and cheaper insurance!
very nice video. great review
Between those two I'd go with the SV650 😊
I actually like the dash and exhaust of the vulcan. I like the weight and the mid control of the Eliminator.
They need to shove the engine from the Z900 or Z1000 into a cruiser chassis FAST. The XDiavel is sitting alone in the sport cruiser category. I like the 650s but it needs a little more power

Turtle power !
where did u buy your vulcan seat?
I love the look of both, but the 451cc Eliminator is just too small for a 6 foot tall, 330 pound fat man like me. I'm just about ready to make my purchase and I think I'm going for the Vulcan.
There is also the Vulcan 900 if you want that true cruiser feel am glad the Kawasaki have all these choices especially for newer riders

@@weylins Yeah. I had a test drive couple days ago and the mirrors did bare minimum job for me. If i had bought Eliminator, i would have bought aftermarket ones for sure.
Eliminator I like, but I think than can buy a Honda Rebel 500cc,
the Vulcan is a nice Bike
451 vs 471 ...not enough difference to matter .
Doing the math for the horsepower to weight ratio is meaningless unless you add the weight of the rider.
Eliminator should have been 650 up!
I love my Eliminator because of leg position. I don’t like my legs out in front of me like on the Vulcan
holy crap thanks , size wise they damn near look almost the same ish
Bruh, buy a mic and do some road trips! i'd watch your videos about it!
Man, that riding scenery really looks like Ohio, near Troy/Piqua/Sidney.

Telling me that you are total new to bikes without telling me that you are a total newbie.
