Overview

Introducing the 2015 Keeway Handy 150, a spirited entry into the sport motorcycle category that caters to both novice riders and seasoned enthusiasts seeking a nimble urban companion. With its sleek design and approachable ergonomics, the Handy 150 stands out as an ideal choice for those looking to navigate the bustling streets with confidence and style. Built by Keeway, a well-respected name in the motorcycle industry—known in the American and European markets as the brand of Qianjiang from China—this model embodies reliability, affordability, and a dash of personality. Underneath the sporty exterior lies a robust single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that displaces 149.4 cc, delivering a respectable 11 horsepower at 8,500 RPM. This power is complemented by a torque rating of 10 Nm at 7,500 RPM, resulting in a responsive ride that can reach top speeds of 97 km/h (60.3 mph). The four-speed gearbox ensures a smooth transition through gears, while the air-cooled system keeps the engine running efficiently, making it perfect for city commuting or weekend rides. The Handy 150's lightweight frame, weighing in at just 120 kg (264.6 pounds), combined with its compact dimensions—2,060 mm in length—provides a manageable and agile ride that inspires confidence in every twist and turn. The Handy 150 is equipped with a range of features that enhance both comfort and performance. The front suspension utilizes telescopic forks that offer 130 mm of travel, smoothing out rough roads, while the rear suspension, also telescopic with a coil spring and oil damping, provides stability and comfort during longer rides. The braking system features a single disc in the front (220 mm diameter) and a reliable drum brake in the rear (110 mm diameter), ensuring effective stopping power. With an adjustable seat height of 750 mm (29.5 inches) and a ground clearance of 170 mm (6.7 inches), this motorcycle is designed to accommodate a wide range of riders, making it an accessible option for many. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: Weighing only 120 kg, the Handy 150 is easy to maneuver, making it ideal for urban commuting and new riders.
  • Affordable Performance: With a respectable power-to-weight ratio, this bike offers an engaging ride without breaking the bank.
  • Comfortable Ergonomics: The adjustable seat height and thoughtful design make it suitable for various rider heights, enhancing comfort on longer journeys.

Cons

  • Limited Top Speed: While the 60.3 mph top speed is adequate for city use, it may feel restrictive for those seeking higher performance on the open road.
  • Basic Features: The Handy 150 lacks advanced technological features such as ABS or traction control, which might be a consideration for tech-savvy riders.
  • Fuel System Limitations: The carburettor setup, while reliable, may not provide the same fuel efficiency or performance as modern fuel-injection systems found in newer models.
