Engineered by Keeway for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2014 Keeway Owen 150 relies on a 148 cc (9 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11.9 HP (8.7 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11 Nm (8.1 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 80.4 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 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 Owen 150 measures 120 kg (265 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10.08 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 745 mm (29.3 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,290 mm (50.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
