Overview

Introducing the 2017 Keeway RKS 150 Sport, a nimble naked bike that seamlessly blends style, performance, and practicality for both novice riders and seasoned enthusiasts. With its striking design and approachable power, the RKS 150 Sport is tailored for the urban commuter who craves a spirited ride without the intimidating weight and complexity of larger motorcycles. This model sits comfortably in the entry-level segment, making it an ideal choice for riders looking to make their mark on the streets or tackle their first foray into motorcycling. Under the sleek exterior lies a robust 148cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that produces a respectable 12.07 horsepower at 8,500 RPM and 11 Nm of torque at 6,500 RPM. This powertrain delivers an exhilarating top speed of 95 km/h (59 mph), providing enough thrill for city riding while remaining manageable for newer riders. The 5-speed gearbox ensures smooth shifting, allowing you to navigate through traffic with ease. The bike's air-cooled design and carburettor fuel system contribute to its reliability and simplicity, making maintenance a breeze. The lightweight frame, at just 121 kg (266.8 lbs), combined with a low seat height of 760 mm (29.9 inches), makes this motorcycle an inviting option for riders of various heights and experience levels. The RKS 150 Sport boasts a range of features that enhance both comfort and safety. Its telescopic front forks provide 110 mm of travel, allowing for a responsive ride over rough patches of city roads, while the rear suspension's oil-damped coil springs offer stability and comfort. The combination of a single front disc brake and a rear drum brake ensures reliable stopping power, instilling confidence in various conditions. With a fuel capacity of 16 liters (4.23 gallons), you’ll enjoy longer rides without frequent stops at the pump. The electric starter adds convenience, and the variety of color options—red, blue, white, and black—allows riders to express their personal style. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Maneuverable: At 121 kg, the RKS 150 Sport is easy to handle, making it perfect for urban commuting and new riders.
  • Affordable Performance: With a competitive price point and solid performance, it offers great value in the entry-level motorcycle market.
  • Comfortable Riding Position: The low seat height and suspension setup create a comfortable riding experience, suitable for both short trips and longer journeys.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Highways: While it excels in city riding, the top speed may not be sufficient for highway cruising or overtaking.
  • Basic Features: Lacks advanced electronics and rider aids that are becoming standard in newer models, which might deter tech-savvy riders.
  • Drum Brake at the Rear: The rear drum brake may not deliver the same level of performance as a disc brake, particularly in emergency situations.
