Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a beginner-friendly machine, ideal for new riders or those just off a licence test who want low intimidation and easy control.
PurposeBuilt primarily as an affordable commuter and learner naked bike for short urban and suburban trips rather than performance riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light dry weight make it accessible and manageable for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterA modest, no-frills small-capacity naked bike that prioritizes simplicity, affordability, and easy manners over excitement or refinement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking highway touring comfort, spirited overtaking power, or any kind of off-road capability.

2013 Keeway RKS 200 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 760mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Keeway RKS 200, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
