Overview

Introducing the 2014 Keeway RK III 200, a spirited entry in the sport motorcycle segment that blends affordability with spirited performance. Positioned as a nimble, user-friendly option for both novice riders and seasoned enthusiasts, the RK III 200 is designed to deliver an exhilarating experience without breaking the bank. Its sleek lines and sporty aesthetic make it visually appealing while promising a fun ride, whether you're commuting through the city or taking on winding backroads. At the heart of the RK III 200 lies a robust single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 199.70 cc, generating a commendable 16.09 horsepower at 9,000 RPM. The liquid-cooled powerplant offers a torque of 14.50 Nm at 6,000 RPM, providing smooth acceleration and satisfying throttle response. With a compression ratio of 9.5:1 and a 5-speed gearbox, riders can confidently navigate various speeds with ease. The well-tuned carburettor fuel system ensures efficient fuel delivery, while the lightweight chassis, weighing in at just 121 kg (266.8 lbs), enhances agility and maneuverability, making the RK III a delightful choice for twisty roads and urban environments alike. The RK III 200 is equipped with thoughtful features that cater to the needs of modern riders. Its bassinet-type frame, combined with telescopic forks up front and a telescopic coil-spring rear suspension, provides a balance of comfort and stability, ensuring a smooth ride over uneven surfaces. The motorcycle is fitted with single disc brakes on both the front (240mm) and rear (220mm), offering reliable stopping power. Riders will also appreciate the dual starting system—both electric and kick—which adds a layer of convenience. With a fuel capacity of 16 liters (4.23 gallons), the RK III 200 is ready for longer journeys, while its adjustable seat height of 760 mm (29.9 inches) caters to a variety of rider heights. Available in striking black and red color options, the RK III stands out in both style and performance. **
