Keeway SR125: What’s on offer?
Keeway SR125 has all the design elements of a retro scrambler. At the front, the motorbike sports a round halogen headlight with a single-pod instrument cluster display on top of it. The SR125 gets a single piece with a brown finish. The highlight of the bodywork is the 14.5-litre teardrop-shaped fuel tank. The rear profile comprises a small fender, round tail light, and turn indicators.
Moving on to the mechanics, the Keeway SR125 is powered by a 125cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine that produces a maximum power of 9.7hp and 8.2Nm peak torque. This engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Suspension duties are handled by a telescopic fork and 5-step adjustable twin shock absorbers. The motorbike rests on a single down tube frame.
