Overview

Introducing the 2016 Keeway Blackster 250 EFI, a sleek custom-cruiser that strikes a perfect balance between style, comfort, and performance. Designed for both new riders seeking a laid-back entry into the world of motorcycling and seasoned enthusiasts looking for a nimble urban companion, the Blackster 250 stands out in the compact cruiser segment. With its bold aesthetics and approachable ergonomics, this motorcycle is not just a mode of transport; it’s an expression of individuality and freedom on two wheels, making it a fantastic choice for those who want to carve out their own path. At the heart of the Blackster 250 EFI lies a robust 248.90cc V2, four-stroke engine that delivers a charming 19 horsepower at 8,500 RPM. This power is complemented by a healthy 18.70 Nm of torque at 5,750 RPM, ensuring that whether you’re navigating city streets or cruising down the highway, the Blackster accelerates smoothly and confidently. With a top speed of 110 km/h (68.4 mph), it’s perfect for both commuting and weekend getaways. The 5-speed gearbox, combined with an efficient chain final drive, allows for seamless gear transitions that enhance the overall ride experience, while the air-cooled system keeps the engine performing optimally even in warmer conditions. The Blackster 250 is packed with features that elevate the riding experience. It boasts a bassinet-type frame that lends stability and comfort, complemented by telescopic forks at the front and oil-damped coil spring suspension at the rear, providing a smooth ride over varied terrains. The braking system, featuring a single disc at both the front (270 mm) and rear (220 mm), ensures reliable stopping power when you need it most. Additionally, the motorcycle is equipped with electric start for effortless ignition, and with a seat height of just 688 mm, it’s accessible for riders of all sizes. With a fuel capacity of 13.50 litres, it promises extended journeys without the frequent need for refueling. **

Pros

  • Stylish Design: The Blackster’s custom-cruiser aesthetics make it a head-turner, perfectly blending classic lines with modern touches.
  • User-Friendly Performance: The manageable power and comfortable seating position make it ideal for both beginners and experienced riders.
  • Reliable Suspension and Braking: With quality suspension and braking components, the Blackster ensures a smooth and safe ride across different road conditions.

Cons

  • Limited Power Output: While suitable for city riding, the 19 HP may feel underwhelming for those seeking more spirited performance on highways.
  • Weight: At 170 kg (374.8 pounds), it’s heavier than some competitors in the same category, which may affect maneuverability at low speeds.
  • Basic Instrumentation: The features and technology may feel minimal compared to newer models, lacking advanced rider aids or digital displays.
