Positioned in Keeway's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2013 Keeway Target 125 pairs a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8.7 HP (6.4 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9 Nm (6.6 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 69.6 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 Target 125 measures 115 kg (254 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (13.22 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 1,300 mm (51.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 3.8-liter (1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
