    I already have the Superlight for three years and it’s absolutely brilliant. The new Keeway V-cruise looks to die for and I’m actually also waiting to test ride it’s bigger 300cc brother the V-302c with just under 30bhp and just under 80mph top speed. Keeway really have this sector sewn up! 👍👌💯

      I’m 16 and just about to do my CBT. I currently have a Honda NCS50 for the time being, then when I turn 17 I was definitely planning of stepping up to a 125. Do you reckon I go straight on to a Keeway Cruiser bike or stick with mopeds (a 125 version) for the time being?

      @steveaga4683 i cut the original silencer off and put on a straight through matt black slip on silencer. But I plugged it with 2 DB killers to bring the noise down a bit. Worked a dream although now the ECU has adjusted I'm back down to a top speed of 65 like before but I have a much quicker take off.

      So today I finally had to fuel it up. I hit about 109 miles/174km before the reserve kicked in. Cost me about £17 to fill it up which was probably going to top out at just over 12.5 litres (because I was not sure how close to the top it is supposed to be filled) so I feel its closer to a 15l with a 2l reserve...so running maybe 13l (?)

    • @KiiLLzUK
      @KiiLLzUK Год назад +4

      When it comes to 125’s if you’re just looking for a daily commuter and not a specific use, my advice would be to just choose whatever you like the look of most and then go and sit on a few different styles to see what you find comfortable.
      And once you’ve found one that ticks both those boxes that’s the one for you.

      ​@@qaasimmirza5208 yes definitely sit on one of each type to see what feels comfortable for you. At 125cc, you most likely will want to trade up within a couple of years, so type of use isn't as important as comfort and confidence. Make sure you can get your feet down and it's not too heavy to wheel around and take on and off the centre stand if it has one and can you get it up if you drop it. If you feel confident, you will ride a lot and discover what kind of rider you are for your next bike.
