wooo a keeway. Just an amazing bike. have ridden 1 for the past 5 years and 40k km later she is still going... Nice to ride. but I struggle after 2h on my seat.. much love to the keewaybrider XD
Hey thanks for the comment :))) Oh yes agreed, the seat on mine can be a little difficult after 2 hours ride. Thats why I want to change it for a nice soft one for one rider :)
Hey Kevin, thought I had answered already so im sorry for that. Glad you are enjoying it. How did you find the CBT on it. it is quite a heavy bike for those turns :)
Im 48 year old and just starting the biker life ... just bought my first bike which is a keeway superlight....I have my CBT next week...(fingers crossed!! ) cant wait to let her run the blacktop :)
Hey Mitch! Welcome aboard. Best of luck with the CBT. Remember its not a pass/fail, rather it is a course to make you safe so you can learn to ride on a road. Make sure you are wearing all correct gear, top to toe and hydrate well. Above all RELAX and enjoy your course. Keep us posted x
@@TheValkyrieBiker Here’s a picture of mine, as well as a review of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. th-cam.com/video/0JhiWxU6hZY/w-d-xo.html Best for now Peter
@@shobhitsharma007 Thanks. Mine is a 125. It’s in red. It has been very reliable and is very capable. They look bigger than 125s, partly because of the long wheel base but also the large fuel tank.
@@petermccarthy4525 thanks for lrtting me know im getting a keeway tomorrow and just wanted to check how reliable they are and the quality they give. i feel assured
I recently got the LTD version and the mirrors are almost useless I find. Had to buy different ones. That's my only issue really, taking corners is really fun with it.
Hey there, thanks for the comment. Yes the mirrors are a bit funky. I found I am fine with them now vertical as I have good range of vision each side and behind now. I am still a learner on it for cornering. Don't really want to get a knee down lol
Thanks for the comment :) Keep options open. Remember its not everyone's first choice of bike and it does come with a few niggles. More footage coming about those niggles :)
Hi there loving the video i have a ybr at moment which is starting to hurt my back im thinking of getting one of these to go further in comfort what are they like
Hi thanks for the comment and question. Personally for me it’s a good neutral riding position. I have easy hand bars and not stretching, my feet are easily planting on the floor at 5ft 5.5inch tall. When I ride, my back is fairly straight but I can sit back further if I want. Would highly recommend go and find one to sit on in upright position before buying. Mine has centre stand which is how I checked. Hope this helps x
@@TheValkyrieBiker many thanks for your time and patience I much appreciate it I will do that I will keep you updated stay safe keep the videos coming x
I also have the superlight se and I love it, do you find towards the acceleration towards 7000rpm feels a little shakey? I don't like to push it too higher revs really but on a roads when merging with traffic I wamtbto get going and out the way do you find it doesn't like the higher revs? Maybe it's just the 125cc not having an awful lot if power. But all and all it feels like a proper bike and it sounds and handles well. Do you find the stock tyres are a little slider in the wet? I'm unsure weather to try different tyres to see if more expensive tyres make a difference, I've heard on reviews that the stock tyres on the keeway are useless in the wet but with them being brand new im hesitant to replace them until its needed, what do you think?
Hi Nicholas, thank you for your comments and questions. I find it a little harder at 50 miles an hour only in my lid. The wind against the wind shield can buffet little when a side wind catches. As for the revs, i don't think i have pushed past that 7000rpm to be honest as still breaking in the bike. Perhaps another owner on this channel can answer your question as I don't wish to give you a guess and rather you have facts for that one :) Tyres are so important, especially on the wet. I have not had problems myself with the stock but there are those that have changed the tyres. Again, please if anyone has does this can they advise Nicholas? I would certainly ask the shop where you buy the bike from for advise as they should be bikers and welcome versed with the safety of tyre to tarmac requirements in the wet. x
The tyres criminal. Several cracked ribs, swollen hip for about 10 weeks, heavy bruising to majority of right thigh and an abrasion to the kneecap that has produced an substantial keloid scar. Plus to rub salt in the wounds my insurance wrote the bike off because economically it wasn't worth waiting to get the parts in from China. Many of the the components are not available in UK. If they were the bike could have been repaired. Even if you are on a budget, buying this bike is a false economy. Wish I had bought my Honda PCX back when I forked out this pile scrap metal. 😒
@@mattphillips2454 Funnily enough thats just the reason am having seconds thoughts re the Benelli 125 as an Irish lass and a Portuguese chap say stock tires are average n skiddy in wet. He got Pirellis. (Very sorry to hear that). I guess you just ride when dry but in Uk the days we get sun cold n clear are few..gotta get some practice in👍
Hey thanks for the comments. It is slower than non 125s but as long as you have the right gear it’s ok. We have some pretty steep hills here and it does do them. I’m selling my Keeway very soon I hope so if you are near by and want a sit then maybe I can show you.
@TheValkyrieBiker I appreciate your offer very much, sir, but I live all the way in Europe. Nevertheless, there's a dealership nearby that sells them so I should be able to take one for a spin before seeing if it's right for me. Safe roads and thanks again for replying. Have a good one!
Hi Viper, I dont have the bike now. I have uploaded my next purchase after going through my bike test. It was a fun bike. Make sure that you get a newish one as I had problems with the signal buttons after about 2 years. Overall, it was a great experience and looks so much like Harley (which, in the end, I bought). Ride safe, ride free. x
Looks nice! Am still deciding on my first bike. Just wondering guess you could remove the windshield thing at the front? Does it come with a usb connection?
Hey there, thanks for the comment and question. Yes you can remove the windshield as I have seen it done. It does not come with a USB connection. I believe it is possible to install one but I don't know how.
@@TheValkyrieBiker It looks pretty straightforward and saves £££ doing it yourself. You have to access the battery n connect wires thats pretty much it. I'd personally remove the shield.
Hey there, thanks for the comment. Yes the weight is a bit hefty, but I hope to upgrade to a certain well known make bike after I pass my MODS which would be a little more heavier, so its good to get used to the weight.
haha its not brilliant. It is only a 125 so you cant expect it to zoom up, however I always ride carefully so maybe Im just not throttling up quick enough :) I have many hills near me which I can do all of. Very steep ones you need 2nd gear mostly.
Hey thanks for the comment. The weight is heavy for me, but I don't plan to laying it down again. It turns fine around corners but its not like a Honda CBF where it can be zippy and nimble (in my hands anyway) in traffic. Then then, I am sure there are far more capable riders out there that can do all that and more :)
@@Quartermoon193 Hey Alan, we are about the same then hun. I don't have a problem of over or under reach with my handlebar. I am uploading a video as I text now which should give you a little more detail into the bike. Let me know what you think x
Haha i was using my old camera and tried to get my voice over the environment noise. Other videos are much quieter when I change to front of helmet cam :)
Gear box, awful, brakes non existent, mirrors garbage. Couldn't get up the smallest hills and tyres are criminally dangerous. Thankfully the accident I had on it was only at 20mph. Bike totally locked up on me and I went sideways. Bike was only 2 months old. Will never have a Chinese bike again.
ohh thats awful for you :( The bike from new? Hope you are ok! The bike certainly is not for everyone. I need to ride it more, but so far brakes and mirrors ok for me personally. Uphill its not great absolutely.
