At the heart of the 2016 Keeway RK 125 sport motorcycle, Keeway utilizes a 124.1 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10.1 HP (7.3 kW) at 8,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9.3 Nm (6.9 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 81.4 HP per liter and a 750 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (8,250 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 RK 125 measures 116 kg (256 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.49 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,320 mm (52 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12.3-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
