Motorcycle Review: Kawasaki VN250 Eliminator

http://motorcycle.danharper.org/wp-content/VN250.jpg
The Kawasaki VN250 Eliminator is a cruiser bike with attitude and style. The particular bike under review is the 2000 model, but since 2000, the models haven’t really changed aside from some badge changes.

The VN250 has a 250cc V-twin, liquid cooled engine. It has a 6 speed gearbox, forward control handlbars, front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. The seat is fairly comfortable, I ride this bike every day at the moment around 1.25 hours per day each way to and from work. Reliability is fantastic, with only minor servicing needed so far. This particular model currently has around 31,000 kms on the clock and is still going strong. Currently, this model’s timing chain needs replacing, which is going to cost around $350 AUD, but that’s it.
