Overview

Introducing the 2021 Keeway RKR 125, a striking entry into the sport motorcycle category that blends performance and style with accessibility for new riders. This motorcycle is designed to captivate enthusiasts looking for a nimble machine that doesn’t compromise on sporty aesthetics or engaging riding dynamics. With its sleek lines and aggressive stance, the RKR 125 stands out in its class, offering an exciting mix of modern technology and classic motorcycle charm, making it an excellent choice for urban commuting or weekend joyrides. At the heart of the RKR 125 is a single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 124.1cc, producing a commendable 12.6 HP at 9,500 RPM. This power is complemented by a torque output of 10.0 Nm at 8,500 RPM, giving riders a spirited yet manageable throttle response ideal for navigating through city traffic or carving up twisty roads. Its 5-speed gearbox ensures smooth shifting, while the air-cooled design keeps the engine running efficiently. The power-to-weight ratio of 0.0824 HP/kg contributes to the bike’s agility, making it a fun ride for both novice and experienced motorcyclists alike. The RKR 125 is packed with features that enhance both performance and comfort. The telescopic front suspension and mono-shock rear provide a balanced ride, offering 112 mm of front travel and 43 mm at the rear to absorb bumps and dips in the road. The bike’s lightweight frame, weighing in at just 153 kg, allows for easy maneuverability, while the 15-liter fuel tank ensures ample range for longer rides. Safety is also a priority, with single disc brakes at both the front and rear to deliver reliable stopping power. Riders can choose from an array of striking colors—white, black, and red—allowing for personal expression through their ride. **

Pros

  • Agile Handling: The lightweight frame and responsive suspension make the RKR 125 exceptionally nimble, perfect for urban commuting and spirited rides.
  • Stylish Design: Its sporty aesthetics and available color options make it visually appealing to a wide range of riders.
  • Fuel Efficient: With a fuel capacity of 15 liters, riders can enjoy extended journeys without frequent stops for refueling.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Highway Use: While great for city riding, the 12.6 HP may not be sufficient for sustained high-speed highway cruising.
  • Minimal Rear Suspension Travel: The rear suspension travel of 43 mm may result in a firmer ride on rougher roads compared to some competitors.
  • Basic Features: While it offers essential technology, it lacks advanced electronic rider aids that some higher-end models provide.
