Built around Keeway's sport motorcycle platform, the 2011 Keeway RKS 125 features a 124.5 cc (7.6 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11 HP (8 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9.2 Nm (6.8 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 88.4 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (9,000 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 RKS 125 measures 117 kg (258 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (10.64 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,270 mm (50 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 800 km (497 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 100 km/h (62 mph).

Power
Compare engine output with similar motorcycles if acceleration, highway use or two-up riding matters.
Torque
Torque is useful for judging real-world pull, especially for touring, commuting and loaded riding.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
Transmission
Transmission and final drive affect maintenance, smoothness and everyday usability.
