Built around Keeway's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2023 Keeway Vieste 125 relies on a 124.6 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 9.7 HP (7.1 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9.6 Nm (7.1 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 77.8 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,000 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 Vieste 125 measures 130 kg (287 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (13.4 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 770 mm (30.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,385 mm (54.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9.5-liter (2.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
