Overview

Introducing the 2008 Keeway Cooper 50, a spirited cross-motocross motorcycle designed for those who crave adventure and nimbleness in their rides. Positioned as an entry-level bike, the Cooper 50 caters not only to new riders but also to seasoned enthusiasts looking for a light, agile machine to navigate tight trails or bustling urban environments. With its distinctive styling and compact frame, this bike embodies the essence of fun while maintaining a user-friendly approach, making it an ideal choice for those looking to dip their toes into the world of off-road biking. At the heart of the Keeway Cooper 50 lies a peppy 49.1cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers a spirited 7 horsepower at an exhilarating 12,000 RPM. This powerplant is paired with an automatic gearbox and a centrifugal clutch, ensuring a seamless riding experience devoid of the complexities of manual shifting. With a top speed of 60 km/h (37.3 mph), the Cooper 50 is perfectly suited for both quick urban commutes and playful off-road jaunts. The liquid cooling system helps maintain optimal engine temperature, while the carburettor fuel system efficiently delivers the necessary mix for spirited acceleration. Coupled with an impressive fuel consumption of 5 liters per 100 km (47.04 mpg), the Cooper 50 promises not only excitement but also economic efficiency. The design of the Cooper 50 emphasizes agility and comfort, featuring a lightweight frame that tips the scales at just 45 kg (99.2 lbs). The bike's compact dimensions, including a length of 1,355 mm (53.3 inches), provide excellent maneuverability, while a ground clearance of 230 mm (9.1 inches) allows for tackling diverse terrains with ease. On the braking front, it is equipped with a single disc in the front and a reliable drum brake at the rear, ensuring that stopping power is as responsive as its acceleration. Additionally, the bike's 3.20-liter fuel tank strikes a perfect balance between lightweight handling and adequate range, making it a versatile companion for both short hops and longer rides. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: At just 45 kg, the Cooper 50 is incredibly easy to handle, making it perfect for beginners and experienced riders alike.
  • Good Fuel Efficiency: With a consumption rate of 5 liters per 100 km, this bike is economical, allowing for extended rides without frequent refueling.
  • User-Friendly Technology: The automatic gearbox and centrifugal clutch simplify the riding experience, allowing riders to focus on enjoying the ride rather than shifting gears.

Cons

  • Limited Power: With only 7 HP, the Cooper 50 may feel underpowered for more experienced riders seeking higher performance.
  • Small Fuel Tank: The 3.20-liter fuel capacity may require more frequent stops on longer journeys, which could be a drawback for some riders.
  • Basic Braking System: While adequate for most situations, the combination of a single disc front brake and drum rear brake may not provide the high-performance stopping power that some riders desire in off-road scenarios.
