BREAKING: Keeway SR125 Launched In India At Rs 1,19,000
Comes as a pleasant surprise, but is still expensive for what it offers
Comes as a pleasant surprise, but it's still expensive for what it offers
After we spotted it at a dealership last week, the SR125, the 125cc retro motorcycle that was in the pipeline for India, has been launched by Keeway. Let’s address the elephant in the room; its price. At Rs 1,19,000 (ex-showroom India), it’s nearly half of what we expected. Keeway has priced it fairly competitively for a CKD (Completely Knocked Down) product, but it’s still expensive for what it offers at the end of the day.
The retro-scrambler theme of the SR125 looks quite appealing and kind of reminds us of a modified Yamaha RX100. The circular headlight, taillights and turn indicators and single-piece ribbed seat scream retro, while the block-pattern tyres accentuate the scrambler look.
Underneath it is a 125cc, air-cooled, fuel-injected mill that makes 9.83PS and 8.2Nm. While those numbers might not sound very impressive, its 120kg weight should make this a fun commuter. For perspective, the TVS Raider makes 11.38PS and 11.2Nm.
While it gets a 300mm disc brake up front and 210mm one at the rear, it misses out on ABS and gets a combi-braking system instead. The suspension setup looks run-of-the-mill with a telescopic fork and dual shock absorbers, with the latter having five steps of preload adjustability. The wheels are 17-inch units shod with block-pattern tyres.
Other practical bits include a solid 160mm ground clearance, decent 14.5-litre fuel tank and a side stand-engine-cut-off feature. It gets an LED DRL, halogen indicators and a digital instrument cluster.
The SR125 is available in three colours–Glossy Red, Glossy Black and Glossy White. At Rs 1,19,000 (ex-showroom India), the bike is premium, while offering performance equivalent to the Bajaj Pulsar NS125, TVS Raider and Honda SP 125. The test rides have commenced at Benelli/Keeway dealerships, and you can book the bike for Rs 1,000 on their official website or at dealerships.
Keeway SR125 User Reviews
- Do buy this bikeCity rides good mileage and looks handle bar has good position the engine is smooth at low and mid range rpms which is where you'll spend most of your time in city traffic gear shifts are light and predictable. It feels comfortable smooth and realiable only draw back is its tyres which are knobby and you might feel vibrations on high speed but its manageable suspension is on a stiffer side but but absorbs most of the potholes. You can buy this bike if your main purpose is city rides and you prioritise style its has a unique looking style which most of the bikes don't offer comfortable city commute relaxed highway rides if you want high speed bike you should choose something else as it wont go beyond 90 to 100.Read More3
