Eliminator 500 2025 vs Shotgun 650 2024

In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The Eliminator 500 and Shotgun 650 produce nearly identical power figures, meaning the real-world difference will come down to gearing and torque delivery rather than peak horsepower.

Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the Eliminator 500. Its seat height is 60mm lower than the Shotgun 650, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the eliminator-500 offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
