Overview

Introducing the 2014 Keeway RKS 200S, a compelling contender in the naked bike segment that perfectly balances style, performance, and affordability for both new riders and seasoned motorcyclists. With its sleek lines and aggressive stance, the RKS 200S is not just a bike; it’s a statement on two wheels. Keeway, known in Europe and America as Qianjiang, has built a reputation for delivering reliable motorcycles that cater to a diverse audience, and the RKS 200S is no exception. This model is designed to navigate the urban landscape with ease while also providing enough thrills for weekend rides, making it an attractive choice for anyone looking to dive into the world of motorcycling without breaking the bank. At the heart of the RKS 200S lies a robust 199.70 ccm single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a respectable 16.09 HP at a spirited 9,000 RPM. Riders will appreciate the torque output of 14.50 Nm at 6,000 RPM, which ensures responsive acceleration and nimble handling in city traffic. The bike’s compression ratio of 9.5:1, coupled with a reliable carburettor fuel system, allows for efficient fuel delivery and smooth throttle response. With a 5-speed gearbox and a chain final drive, the RKS 200S offers a fun and engaging ride, whether you’re cruising down the highway or darting through city streets. The lightweight design, tipping the scales at just 121 kg (266.8 lbs), enhances maneuverability and makes it a joy to ride, especially for urban commuting. The Keeway RKS 200S is loaded with features that reflect a thoughtful approach to design and rider comfort. Its bassinet frame provides stability and strength, while the telescopic front forks and rear coil spring suspension ensure a smooth ride over various road conditions, with front travel of 110 mm and rear travel of 66 mm. The braking system, featuring a single disc setup front and rear, provides adequate stopping power for an enjoyable ride. With a seat height of 760 mm, it accommodates riders of different statures, making it accessible for many. Additionally, the bike offers both electric and kick-start options, ensuring reliability in any situation. A generous fuel capacity of 16 liters means fewer stops at the pump, allowing for longer adventures. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: At only 121 kg, the RKS 200S is easy to handle, making it perfect for both novice and experienced riders.
  • Affordability: Offering great value for money, it provides a solid performance without the hefty price tag typically associated with naked bikes.
  • Comfortable Riding Position: With a low seat height and upright riding posture, it is designed for comfort during both short commutes and longer journeys.

Cons

  • Limited Power Output: While adequate for city riding, more experienced riders may find the engine power less thrilling on the open road.
  • Basic Features: Lacking advanced technology found in higher-end models, it may not satisfy those looking for modern amenities.
  • Suspension Travel: While suitable for urban riding, the suspension travel may feel limited for more aggressive off-road or spirited riding.
