At the heart of the 2016 Keeway Dorado 250 touring motorcycle, Keeway features a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) air-cooled twin, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 17.3 HP (12.6 kW) at 8,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 18 Nm (13.3 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 69.5 HP per liter and a 3,250 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (8,750 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
