I like this bike.I had another keeway bike and the only issue I had was that I live in the U.S.and when I would call shops for parts most of the time they would say they never heard of keeway.
Lovely looking bike , Keeway obviously upping their game. Nice to see a little bit more power as well...will we see a 15 bhp 125 Keeway one day..fingers crossed.
I got rid of my Honda cbr 125 r for one of these in this colour, its an awesome bike. Had it new on 70 plate so it's had its first service, I prefer it to my Honda. Go get one guys.
I've just bought one, and it's my first bike ever, first time riding a manual bike. The manual provided says to keep the rev range between 5000, to 6000 rpm for the first 500 miles, but I live surrounded by hills. So just getting up the hills in second takes a lot of revs and feels quite slow. Maybe it's just me and using the wrong gear, but if I go into the third the engine just dies down up the hills, worried I'll damage something giving it to much revs just to commute through all the steep hills around me.
Nice looking bike, putting it's looks to one side, those fuel and emission stats are very good, it wouldn't look out of place being used as a second bike city commute.
A lot of the stuff coming out of China lets face it is bad but there are 3 or 4 company's that are really stepping up their game and Keeway seems to be one of the biggest ones .
I honestly really like that, even the colour is nice, I'm genuinely going to take a look at getting one. the filming of the riding reminds me of Auf Wiedersehen pet and Barry riding his bike lol, nice one fellas 👍
@@leedequinceyable cant complain mate takes a bit of getting use to i find it to be a really revy bike needs the revs dont thrash it soon as u get it take ur time with it and you will love it
Once again a cracking review of this really nice 125 if you had had taken off the keyway sticker and replaced it with Kawasaki I would not have noticed it really is very tasty 😋🇬🇧🏍
@@motorsforthemasses think i would still rather have a good pipe fitted to the bike, not sure if it would affect the after market sales personally, people will always look for better, it would just be nice to have a better pipe to start with than the ugly stock pipes, great video by the way!
About the motor... it's a copy of the LC135 / Yamaha crypton X 135 cc but in 125 with 60mm rod length a fine tune in 62mm(180cc) would be perfect all UMA internals

@@chrisgemmell2742 I am on 2k km and no big issue except squeaky sound from rear spring/silence blocs. Bike is solid so far. For me it is my first bike so i am scared of anything that makes different sound than last time. So sometimes i feel that bike makes different sound in 6k RPM than last time etc. but i have been told that its ok and just bikes sound that :D
Awesome! A fantastic effort other manufacturers need to take note. Looks like a really nice bike (although I don't like the green 😄😄). It'll be interesting to see if they fit the 302cc unit from the benelli bn. 40hp will make it even more interesting. Thanks for the review guys.
Seems like a great bike, people have a lot to say about Chinese bikes but have you ever noticed any problems with the bolts and electrics as those are apparently where the Chinese bikes fall behind
Jamie is a great new addition to the channel with a knowledge of bikes far superior to mine he just needs to warm to the camera a bit, definitely not lesser he is a real asset, watch this space.
@@motorsforthemasses sorry dear bro, my last three bikes were benelli and I know well. They aren’t from keeway rather from benelli, thats because they follow benelli tnt lineup designs. Just check the fuel tank design and front mud guard and so many things are from tnt models. Keeway doesn’t have such pre-existing designs. Benelli sells their bikes with keeway brand to sell at a cheaper price then their benelli brands of the same model, that is to hold market for both keeway and benelli. By the way I like your reviews and watch them regularly.
@@DiscoverHealth it's like seat and volkswagen, they have interchangable models which look the same, use the same parts (to some degree) yet are branded differently.
@@Noone-ii4kv exactly That’s true. They do it because they don’t have spare parts available everywhere so they try to make bikes that can use almost same parts.
@@JC-cr3us I have a cruiser currently, it's beautiful, massive and very chromed. But I certainly could use a small 125, I miss my GN125 from back a day.
RKF is liquid cooled, better mpg, faster and well built. NHX is air cooled, so is slower and not as good mpg, however more room and not as cramped seating position. NHX more comfortable, RKF better performance.
Well I'm going to guess that as 125 is the learner limit in the UK and more of these size bikes are sold than just about All the others put together has something to do with why its not 150cc
Hi guys no idea if you will respond however i cant find and aftermarket exhausts online any idea if there is any if so can you send me a link please or if another bikes aftermarket full system fits please let me know
Idea for a Episode, Try and do a review on a year old Customers bike to show everyone how good these Chinese built bikes are 🤔 Keep up the good work chaps😎
This bike is in 165cc engine in our country. Benelli bikes are reliable. You can easily use it for 100k plus kilometres. In our country even benellis 100cc bikes crossing 100k plus kilometres.
Fair enough, the BN feels bigger I feel because of the good size tank but lower seat height so you are sitting more in the bike rather than on top of it.
The bike is good size but an average seat height. Your knees may be up against the tank but as feet are further back than a lot of bikes it does counter that. You will only know if someone takes a photo of you on one.
14:18 and i know exactly the bike for you! www.der-mopedladen.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/motard_green_1.jpg Would much rather put QINGQI labels everywhere because they seem to supply chinese military. Can´t get any better recommendation than that, in my book at least.

Haha love the remarks about the stickers 🤣👍
Are we sure it’s got the sixth gear ? Some ads in some dealers website says only 5 gears
Bit confused. In Germany it says that the bike has 5 gears. In the video there were 6.
6 is correct

RKF is liquid cooled, better mpg, faster and well built. NHX is air cooled, so is slower and not as good mpg, however more room and not as cramped seating position. NHX more comfortable, RKF better performance.

pls review the zontes u125
When it arrives in the UK, we certainly will 110%

Also between sym nh x 125 and benelli bn 125 and keeway rkf125 what u recommend?
For me the footrests are to high and to far back it kills my knees after a while, wish I could change the position of them
Is the bike reliable?

Well I'm going to guess that as 125 is the learner limit in the UK and more of these size bikes are sold than just about All the others put together has something to do with why its not 150cc

What's the tune at the beginning called while showing the bike off please?
It's called 'Strange Behaviour' by Luwaks
@@motorsforthemasses thanks alot, watched this review loads as ordered the E5 version and can't get this tune out my head lol. Best review on RUclips.
What are your thought on keeway rkf 125cc or the ktm duke 125cc.
The KTM is a great bike but can't say I feel it is anything like £1200 more bike than the RKF.
@@motorsforthemasses ok great might get one has the keeway rkf 125 got bluetooth.
Anyone got one of these and use on a daily basis ? Just want to know how it holds up after being used daily. Cheers
Keep it serviced and maintained regularly and it'll be fine.
Hi guys no idea if you will respond however i cant find and aftermarket exhausts online any idea if there is any if so can you send me a link please or if another bikes aftermarket full system fits please let me know
Hi, Haven't heard of any at the moment for them. Have you looked on motogb.co.uk?
Whats the grip like really wanting one but worried about poor grip
CST tyres are ok. Obviously not race tyres but haven't noticed any problems with them in normal riding.
It appears to be tricky to fit a back box on it.
....waiting for Scorpion upgrade
would you go for this or for rkr ? keeway rkf or keeway rkr ?
Neither.
How much in the Philippines piso

They don't make the RKV any more I'm afraid.
Can you change the odometer from kph to mph?
YES
you can change
Does this bike have a quick shifter??
Yes
It’s wow looking this baik
Wow, that’s ALOT of bike for £2.5k. A genuine rival to the big 4.
How do you change from kmh to mph thanks
Hold the 'set' button
@@motorsforthemasses tried that its only changing the time
Keeway is a subbranch of the Italian Benelli. Italian designers know how to create good looking motorcycles. Good value for money.
I'm 1.90cm will it be too small for me?
It depends how far your knees come up the tank.
@@motorsforthemasses oof
Still prefer the benelli BN 125, feels bigger than the keeway , I hate the license plate arm ! 🙂
Fair enough, the BN feels bigger I feel because of the good size tank but lower seat height so you are sitting more in the bike rather than on top of it.
@@motorsforthemasses yes definitely! Sat on both in the shop , also the benelli feels alot longer, just and just sturdier in general 🙂
Would I look funny on this bike considering my height - 185cm ?
The bike is good size but an average seat height. Your knees may be up against the tank but as feet are further back than a lot of bikes it does counter that. You will only know if someone takes a photo of you on one.
Thanks :D
Great review!
Why does this look like they are trying to copy the ktm duke 125cc 2019.
Because they are
Like the Z125, the KTM is £1000+ more...and is it really worth it?
12hp getting 75+? hmm. even the 15hp boys struggle
It is not always about bhp, also torque and gearing
Just proves tnt 125 is keeyway before you hear it same colour as new tnt 😂😂😂😂
And it's got a 6 speed box that's what the tnt needed not new colour lol

Six speed nice bike nice colour please take my lxr for trade in and I am not joking and will pay difference in cash
Still trying (and failing miserably) with the humour.
Road placement gents, road placement...
Camera position warrants being closer to white line.
🏍️🤩🤙
It looks like a rip off KTM
but over £1000 cheaper
as most chinese bikes are, but they are cheaper alternatives and they look like their expensive counter parts
Tbh I prefer the look of this to the KTM
Stupid rear mudguard.
These bikes always look the biz... until the start up and ride, then it's just an embarrassment.. dread.. disappointment..
Not quite
