Built around Keeway's touring motorcycle platform, the 2012 Keeway Superlight 125 pairs a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 9.4 HP (6.8 kW) at 9,100 rpm while maximum torque reaches 8.4 Nm (6.2 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 75.8 HP per liter and a 3,100 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (9,100 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 Superlight 125 measures 134 kg (295 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (14.26 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,440 mm (56.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.2 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 682 km (424 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 80 km/h (50 mph).
