Overview

Introducing the 2017 Keeway Dream, a spirited super motard that embodies the essence of urban agility and versatile performance. Designed for riders who crave excitement in their everyday journeys, the Dream offers a unique blend of practicality and flair. With its sharp styling and compact dimensions, this motorcycle stands out in the crowded entry-level segment, appealing to both novice riders and seasoned enthusiasts looking for a spirited ride. Marketed as the Keeway TXM in some regions, the Dream is more than just a mode of transportation; it’s an invitation to explore the winding streets and open roads with confidence. At the heart of the Keeway Dream lies a robust single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 148cc, delivering an impressive 11.80 horsepower at 8,500 RPM. This peppy powerplant generates 10.80 Nm of torque at 6,500 RPM, providing ample thrust for city commuting and spirited rides alike. The 5-speed gearbox ensures smooth shifts that enhance the riding experience, while the air-cooled engine keeps things simple and reliable. With a top speed of 90 km/h (55.9 mph), the Dream offers just the right amount of excitement without overwhelming novice riders. Its lightweight frame, weighing in at just 135 kg (297.6 lbs), makes it incredibly nimble, allowing for quick maneuvering through traffic and tight corners. The Keeway Dream is thoughtfully equipped with features that elevate its practicality and rider comfort. The plush seat, set at a manageable height of 825 mm (32.5 inches), caters to a wide range of riders, while the adjustable ground clearance of 225 mm (8.9 inches) adds versatility for different riding conditions. The front telescopic fork offers 180 mm (7.1 inches) of travel, absorbing bumps and ensuring a smooth ride, complemented by a swing arm rear suspension that provides stability. Stopping power is handled by responsive single disc brakes, with a 280 mm (11.0 inches) diameter at the front and 240 mm (9.4 inches) at the rear, ensuring confidence-inspiring braking performance. With a fuel capacity of 10.50 liters (2.77 gallons), the Dream is ready for both short commutes and longer adventures. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Nimble: Weighing only 135 kg, the Dream excels in urban environments, making it easy to navigate through traffic.
  • User-Friendly Performance: With a manageable seat height and smooth power delivery, it's ideal for both beginners and experienced riders looking for a fun ride.
  • Stylish Design: The sleek lines and vibrant color options of gray, white, and red give the Dream an appealing aesthetic that stands out on the road.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Highway Use: While great for city riding, the 11.80 HP may feel underwhelming for extended highway journeys.
  • Basic Suspension Travel: The rear suspension travel of just 46 mm (1.8 inches) may not provide the plush ride some riders desire on rougher terrain.
  • Carbureted Engine: The traditional carburettor fuel system may not offer the same efficiency or ease of tuning as modern fuel-injected systems, potentially limiting performance optimization.
