Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2016 Keeway Superlight 125 Standard, a striking custom-cruiser that elegantly marries classic styling with modern performance. This motorcycle is perfect for new riders and seasoned enthusiasts alike, looking for an approachable yet stylish ride that stands out on city streets or country roads. With its retro-inspired design and solid build quality, the Superlight 125 embodies the spirit of freedom and adventure that defines the cruising experience. Positioned within the entry-level segment, it offers an excellent gateway into the world of motorcycling without overwhelming newcomers with excessive power or complexity. At the heart of the Superlight 125 lies a nimble 124.10cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, delivering a respectable 10.46 HP at 9,000 RPM and a torque figure of 8.90 Nm at 7,500 RPM. This powertrain, coupled with a smooth 5-speed gearbox, ensures that riders can enjoy spirited acceleration while maintaining a comfortable cruising speed. The air-cooled engine operates efficiently, allowing for longer rides between fuel stops, thanks to a generous 15-liter fuel tank. With a lightweight frame tipping the scales at just 134 kg (295.4 lbs), the Superlight is agile and responsive, making it an excellent choice for urban commuting or leisurely jaunts through the countryside. The Keeway Superlight 125 is equipped with a variety of features that enhance both comfort and usability. A dual starter system—electric and kick—ensures reliable starts in any situation. The motorcycle's suspension setup includes telescopic front forks and a rear coil spring damped system, providing a smooth ride even on less-than-perfect roads. The stylish windscreen adds a touch of flair while also improving aerodynamics, and the low seat height of 730 mm (28.7 inches) caters to riders of all sizes. With the powerful yet manageable braking system featuring a single disc up front and a drum brake at the rear, you can feel confident in your stopping power, making this machine a well-rounded option for any rider. **
