Rider Profile

Best For	This small-capacity cruiser is well suited to beginners and newer riders building confidence.
Purpose	It's designed as a lightweight, low-key cruiser for casual street riding and easy commuting rather than outright performance.
Rider Fit	The low seat height and light dry weight make it very accessible to shorter or smaller-statured riders.
Character	It has a laid-back, approachable cruiser character with modest power delivered smoothly through a 6-speed gearbox.
Not Ideal For	It's not a good fit for riders wanting highway-speed touring capability, spirited cornering, or any off-road use.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 725mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2001 Kawasaki EL 252 Eliminator, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
