Positioned in Keeway's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2013 Keeway RKS 200 relies on a 197 cc (12 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12.7 HP (9.3 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 13.5 Nm (10 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 64.5 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 RKS 200 measures 117 kg (258 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.21 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 760 mm (29.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,260 mm (49.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
