V-TWIN BOBBER WITH ATTITUDE
125cc
Some things never get old, like boulevards on a sunset, meat on the grill, or the sound and feel of a V-twin engine. But some classics get better with time, and the all-new Keeway RK V125 C revolutionizes the classic V-twin cruiser for the new era. The Keeway RK V125 C keeps everything that’s good about cruisers and updates the rest with up-to-date components designed to accommodate the contemporary rider. At the center of the RK V125 C is a new 125cc V-twin engine that is thoroughly modern with 6 valves, liquid cooling, and electronic fuel injection. It produces peak figures of 10.2kW of power and 14.4N·m of torque: more than plenty to push the 164kg (dry) motorcycle. Unusual for motorcycles of this displacement is a set of inverted front forks combined with front and rear disc brakes. To complement the low and wide look, thick 120/80-17 and 140/70-17 tires adorn the front and back, respectively. A low-slung 2-into-1 exhaust provides a clean view of the polished engine case while emitting the distinctive rumble of a V-twin. Rounding off the spirit of the cruiser is a belt final drive for optimal comfort and minimal maintenance. Not to be left behind, the electronics of the Keeway RK V125 C are also thoroughly modernized in both design and performance. The thin, round headlight projects the Keeway logo on the DRL, producing a 3D effect when combined with the LED low- and high-beam lamps. Similarly circular is the instrument cluster, a white-on-black digital display that is highlighted by a radial tachometer around the speedometer. Straddled between your legs is a tank wide in proportions, available in solid red or black finishes. Holding a massive 19 liters of fuel, it gives the RK V125 C class-leading range with just one fill-up, perfect for those never-ending road trips. And when around town, easily find comfort with the low 690mm seat height. A modern take on a classic ride: take the V-twin cruiser to a new generation with the new Keeway RK V125 C
