Engineered by Keeway for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2023 Keeway Vieste 175 features a 171.7 cc (10.5 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11.5 HP (8.4 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 12.4 Nm (9.1 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 1-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 67 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 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 175 measures 128 kg (282 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.13 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around 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.
