Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an entry-level machine best suited to beginners or learner-permit riders taking their first steps on two wheels.
PurposeIt's designed as a small-displacement commuter styled like a supermotard, meant for light urban duties rather than genuine off-road or high-speed use.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it very manageable for shorter or less experienced riders to handle at a stop or in traffic.
CharacterIt has a nimble, flickable feel typical of small single-cylinder motards, with modest power that keeps things forgiving rather than exciting.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suitable for highway touring, carrying a passenger long distances, or anyone seeking real off-road capability or high-speed performance.

2017 Keeway Dream Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 825mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2017 Keeway Dream, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
