Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an entry-level machine best suited to new riders, learners, or those on a restricted licence looking to build confidence.
PurposeIt's designed as an affordable sport-styled commuter for short trips and city riding rather than genuine performance riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light dry weight make it easy to handle and manage for smaller or less experienced riders.
CharacterIt offers a sporty look and nimble low-speed handling but with modest power delivery typical of a small single-cylinder carbureted engine.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suited to highway touring, carrying a passenger over distance, or riders seeking strong acceleration and high-speed stability.

2017 Keeway RK 125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Keeway RK 125, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
