best comparison ever made, very natural, good jobe guys, and plz, do another one with benelli 150s vs keeway rkf 125 or 150 pretty plz with sugar ontop
Hi, the RKF is quite an old bike now. If we get one we will do a review of it. However we do not get 150cc bikes in the UK, goes from 125 to 250. Asia and some parts of Europe get 150, we get the 125 in the UK. Thank you.
Well this video proves one thing, buying a bike is deffo a personal thing and test rides are a must, that said. i prefer the Bennelli, the wallet prefers the Keeway... and both sound better than anything Sinnis or lexmoto have atm, i just like the lower and non rattle free engine note that didnt sound stressed. Might have just been the mics though
Please guys make a test of those bikes :Keeway rks 125 sport, Yamaha Ys125 and Honda cb125f . Fuel comsuption, price ,service intervals, and garantion.
Really nice video with two sides of view 😊 Benelli sounds better for me, maybe its because of mine speaker or some different reasons. How much gas it takes on 100 km? (60miles) In Poland it costs 1750 pounds. Every taxes included. I loved this video ☺
How decent are the stock tyres Benelli give you. I'm seeing a Lot of mixed reviews about it especially in foreign places. Saying they're slippery when wet (of course).. but to what extent. Or is this lack of experience and riding ability to control the tyres in those conditions??
Ty for the 1st review of the bn 125. Can you find the new keeway rkf 125cc in order to compare it with the benelli ? My choice will be between those two.
Yes! Im looking at buying the rkf as soon as it comes out in UK which according to what keeway told me on facebook, it comes out this month (July) But if not this month, it will be next month (August). But since ive been waiting for a while now, ive started to look at others like this benelli as a second option. Im currently using a Motorini Mt125rri (same as lexmoto hawk and genata) but wanting to sell as gps top speed is 58 but 65 on the clock (a little too slow for what i need it for) and it just doesnt feel very confident, gearbox is clunky at best ,clutch seems to have a different biting point every time i pull away, tires are awful (i can still feel the rear tire slip even in a heatwave in the uk when the tire will be all hot and sticky...or atleast thats what tires are meant to be) and everything on it just doesnt seem very strong. All looks and feels tappy and cheapy.
The keeway is available here in the Philippines and the Benelli one is not. So I'd buy the Keeway. But if the Benelli one is available here I'd buy that one. I like the trellis frame design.
Thank you for this informative video. I'm looking into purchasing a Benelli BN 125 now that i'm 17, I've been stuck on a 50cc restricted 1 down 3 up for a year now. I myself am only 5 foot 4" or 5", do you think the Benelli would be a suitable size? Again, great video! :)
Sorry guys. This time I didn’t like the overly long shots of the bikes at the beginning. I don’t want to be negative on purpose just constructive feedback.
I think Benelli is way different on Turkish republic than the eu. Benelli Turkey says that the bike is 13hp and 6 gears, air-oil cooled, but in eu, ıt is 5 gears, air cooled and 11hp.
@@motorsforthemasses thanks for the reply, i really like naked bikes and plan to do long journeys and trips so a sport bike would not be ideal and i prefer the style of naked bikes to adventure and tour bikes. thanks
Has the benelli got the same motor as the tnt 125? If so, change the plugs and caps to ngk, e.c.u is not the most reliable and the kickstand switch is poor and causes problems, its a shame as the leoncino 500 is a fantastic bike with much better quality.
So a chinese bike is better than an italian bike? I love that RKS. My friend have it and it looks fantastic and very cheap. We have the 150cc here in the philippines but with exactly the same design
That is unusual. Email is working ok. contact@motorsforthemasses.co.uk Just did a test and worked ok. We don't have a clickable email link on the website
Must be blind if you think these two bike look the same. The Benelli is a great looking bike and would happily buy for my son the Keeway just looks like a cheaply made commuter bike. The BN has better brakes, better suspension and much better looking exhaust. To say they are very similar is silly, yes they are both 125 petrol motorcycles but thats about it.
I seen and enjoyed several of your reviews, but they are often filled with the worst, most distracting and odd taste in music. Why do YT producers always bombard us with such dire, "music*.?
I was joking, at the end is just matter of taste. Currently I'm going down from 600cc, searching for the cheapest and lightest way to go to work every day. Riding Japanese bikes all my life Honda CB125f was the best option. But than I saw this RKS Sport and honestly I like it more. Mainly because of the wider tyres and its around 25%cheaper. I believe you guys sell these bikes and I understand asking you for reliability opinion on public sources is not the smartest thing. All the dealers here in Mallorca Island sell a lot of these, Keeway, Hanway, Leonart, which is Bullit in UK I think, and they say everything is OK. Than a lot of people dislike them after a couple of hundred kms, mainly because of low power and low maximum speed, which I find very stoopid to expect 120km/h from a 10hp engine. Anyway, seems like a lot of people suffer annoying technical issues, mainly connected with euro4 machines, strange fueling, discharged battery, sensor here, loose connection there etc. At the other hand there are a lot of people with 20K or more kms with absolutely no problems happily riding around. So it's difficult to decide. At the same time there's a guy selling Triumph Speed four in mint condition, so it's even more complicated. Anyway thanks once again for the great videos and wish you all the best

Any plans for a Keeway RKF 125 review? There's very little on TH-cam at the moment in English & it looks like a great bike.
Please guys make a test of those bikes :Keeway rks 125 sport, Yamaha Ys125 and Honda cb125f . Fuel comsuption, price ,service intervals, and garantion.
Apparently our towns keeway dealer will not sell rks because of mapping fault since went to injection from the previous decent carb model.
New version will be soon in Europe --> Keeway RKF 125i. Not sure maybe is now in sale :)
Apparently the RKF's are hard to get hold of...there have been delays
Really nice video with two sides of view 😊
Benelli sounds better for me, maybe its because of mine speaker or some different reasons.
How much gas it takes on 100 km? (60miles)
In Poland it costs 1750 pounds. Every taxes included.
I loved this video ☺
Hi, thank you for the comment. Apparently the Benelli does a round 35 km per litre and the Keeway does around 30
I have the rks 125, and the fuel consumption is between 3 - 3.5 liter on 100 km
Fabulous TVR in the carpark! Benelli all the way.
How does the Benelli stack up against the Hb Mondial hp? Good vid btw
Hola, ¿cuál es el tamaño del motor y cómo es cuando dos personas están en él? Gracias por la respuesta!

Are the triple piston front calipers there to allow a linked braking system? Otherwise, it would seem a bit over the top.
Hi, yes they are linked; Malc mentioned that later on in the video.
Ty for the 1st review of the bn 125. Can you find the new keeway rkf 125cc in order to compare it with the benelli ? My choice will be between those two.
RKF? Do you mean RKV?
Motors for the Masses RKF, maybe it's still not out in uk. Try to look what happened at the 2017 EICMA on keeway stand.
Yes! Im looking at buying the rkf as soon as it comes out in UK which according to what keeway told me on facebook, it comes out this month (July) But if not this month, it will be next month (August). But since ive been waiting for a while now, ive started to look at others like this benelli as a second option.

Hi, that is a shame about the Motorini. I do feel you would be happier on a Benelli ot Keeway
The keeway is available here in the Philippines and the Benelli one is not. So I'd buy the Keeway. But if the Benelli one is available here I'd buy that one. I like the trellis frame design.
How much weight are you allowed to put on the Benelli one?

What bike did u get
Sorry guys. This time I didn’t like the overly long shots of the bikes at the beginning. I don’t want to be negative on purpose just constructive feedback.
Fair enough, yes they were a bit long on this one...noted thank you.
How was the brake in both of them?
Are there any vibrations and skidding problem to the Benelli one for using Cordial tyres?
There doesn't seem to be any vibration issues, certainly not at low speed, not sure about high speed.
do you know is the benelli reliable
comes with 3 year warranty. For 3000 Euros that's really good.
Rkf 125 review pls,,,
I'm going to buy a Keeway, but unsure whether to buy the RKS Standard or RKS Sport. Any suggestions? Am I going to notice the difference?
It's Aesthetic and seat difference really. Ride wise, hardly any difference.
gogo!
Biggest issue with Keeway? parts they are hard to get hold of in the UK and cost an arm and a leg for a China brand motorcycle.
Warranty parts have had some issues getting in stock in good time but that is improving
Benelli is made in China too ...
Indeed it is, in the same factory
@@paolovolpi3662 take a look at Benelli in Pesaro.
What is the max speed of BN 125? Is it true that max speed is electronicaly limited by the factory?
Depends on the rider and conditions. I haven't heard they are limited, apart from on the revs of course
I think Benelli is way different on Turkish republic than the eu.
Benelli Turkey says that the bike is 13hp and 6 gears, air-oil cooled, but in eu, ıt is 5 gears, air cooled and 11hp.
That shows how EU regs hinder a bike I guess
Nope, BN125 on our country also fits to Eu4 Emisions...
how odd

It is possible they have their information wrong
Hey I am 6 foot 1 and thinking to buy benelli bn 125cc u recommend
I'll be honest, the BN has one of the lowest seat heights for that style of bike. Sym Wolf or Zontes ZT125U might be a better choice.
Can you do the Keeway RKR?
Yes, that is on the cards, as is the Keeway K-lite
Motors for the Masses Awsome. Csnt wait to see that one too
Would the benelli be suitable for being 6’6 ?
Low seat height might be an issue for you. Is that the only style of bike you like?
