    GET ONE! I have only owned this bike for one day and it is my 1st geared bike, so my thoughts may not be all that relevant to those of you thinking of buying one. All I can say is that the bike was delivered to me at midday and I've just got in (9pm), after riding it here, there and everywhere.
    Most of the reviews on here were spot on and I'm glad I read them before deciding on a BN125. I got my 2007 A6F model for what seems a poultry £870.00. It cost £150 to insure fully comp, so I was on the road for just over a grand.
    Gear changes are smooth, the clutch is very forgiving and the bike corners beautifully. I've just done almost 9 hours (only stopping for petrol and a bag of chips) without any aches or pains, so it is comfy. Hugs the road like a dream and does a comfy 60-65mph and approx 60-80mpg depending on how it's ridden. It's a real looker too (mine's blue).
    If it breaks down tomorrow it'll still be the best 870 kwid I've ever spent.
    Only tiny problem I've encountered is that it is too big to get through my back gate, so tomorrow I'm getting a bigger back gate and making a bigger hole in the wall! NUFF SAID, but I'll keep you updated.

    A wicked bike. Fantastic easy to use bike. My first bike after mt CBT and I use it to commute to work. I did have a problem with it starting but found that you can get cheap parts on ebay and the main parts brand new are not too bad either. Mine is the 1998 version and now that it is working (contacts needed changing - cost £30 brand new) it is something of a special bike. It looks bigger than it is and sounds it also. I just wish it was a 250cc or higher, for quicker overtaking.

    Did my CBT one year ago today on a Honda, had to get a bike to get to work and liked the look of the eliminator and am so glad I did it looks cool and is such an easy bike to ride. Only use it to get 2 and from work (30 mile round trip) I have seen heads turning as I drive round rural England! only bad point I can think of is the speed, the fastest I have got it up to is 71 mph but that was on the hottest day of the year so engine must a been nice and warm already normally top speed is 60 ish. B ...

    The Kawasaki 123 Eliminator ideal first bike after passing CBT, plenty enough power. Very smooth clutch and excellent to ride. I love this bike and would recommend. My husband even prefers my bike to his Ducati 600 SS!
    Looks great.

    Stylish, efficient and well designed. You would love the 5 speed results.
    Is the best beginners bike. None of the others gives the look and beauty.

    I chose the Kawasaki 125 Eliminator as my first bike, reasonalbly priced it got me on the road but I was surprised at what a quality bike this was, never let me down once, I thrashed it about for a few years before I decided to move onto a more powerful machine. Great starter bike.

    125-restrictive learner laws in the UK narrowed my choice of first road bike. However, given my limited options, I decided on looks ahead of power, and invested in an Eliminator. A great price deal from my local dealer saw me ride out (on the obligatory 'L' plates) on this smashing looking bike. There is no doubt, the looks of the bike are a big plus in this engine category. The bikes are inexpensive to buy, and inexpensive to run: £1.9k new, £15 annual road tax, £90 TPF ...

    What can I say about this little Kawasaki 125 Eliminator, she's a beauty. Looks great. Ideal learner bike. So easy to handle it is a pleasure to ride, I find myself going everywhere the long way around as I just dont want to get of once I am on. The bike handles so well, I recommend anyone to have this bike. How good does it look?! So good I keep her in the house! I just want to keep adding more bits, the more I add the bigger she looks!

    Kawasaki should be marketing this bike as an alternative to scooters that allows the rider to move up if he/she desires. The price is comparable. The gas mileage is comparable. The bike is capable of highway speeds. I feel that the larger wheels and lower seat make this motorcycle a safer alternative to scooters at speeds 30-50 mph.

    I absolutely love this Kawasaki 125 Eliminator bike, I wanted the Honda CBR125 but it was just outside of my price range and at first I just saw this as the cheap way to get me on the road but from my first ride on it I realised every ride was gonna be more like leisure than transport. I ride this bike at least once a day, it's only 10 miles to work and back on 5 days of the week but I'll end up with 20 or even 30 miles on the clock at the end of each day. Once I clocked up nearly 150 miles in o ...

    My Kawasaki Eliminator breaks down all the time, in the shop more times than on the road. Not very stable in the wet, it only likes sunny weather.

    The Kawasaki BN 125 Eliminator 124cc is just a good all round bike. Brilliant value and excellent fun!

    TheKawasaki 125 Eliminatoris an overall good allrounder not built for tall people and not very good for commuting further than 5 miles

    A great bike for the beginner as it has a low centre of gravity which makes it very stable. It will return 90mpg if riden normally, and really looks the part. The bike would really suit people under 5'10" as I am 6'0" and the riding position can feel cramped after an hour or so. The bike has always started first time even after being stored for 5 months when we moved house. Big Bike looks for small bike costs.
