Positioned in Keeway's super motard motorcycle lineup, the 2017 Keeway Dream features a 148 cc (9 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11.8 HP (8.6 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10.8 Nm (8 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 79.7 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Dream measures 135 kg (298 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.44 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 825 mm (32.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,340 mm (52.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 10.5-liter (2.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 90 km/h (56 mph).
