Engineered by Keeway for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2017 Keeway RKS 200 features a 197 cc (12 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12.9 HP (9.4 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 14 Nm (10.3 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 65.5 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 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 (9.07 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 1,270 mm (50 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, while factory top speed is listed at 105 km/h (65 mph).
