Kawasaki Eliminator 500 details

Though only one new colour for each model has been added in India, some eye-catching shades are available internationally, alongside the new ones. Notably, the Eliminator 500 SE in Europe comes in the striking Candy Steel Furnace Orange/Ebony, that looks impressive and one can only hope that Kawasaki considers bringing it to India.
