In this episode we give the Keeway Superlight a real review. Let us know if you have one yourself and what you think of it. #Keeway #Superlight #keewaysuperlight #review #125 #125cc
Greetings from Romania! I purchased my Superlight about 1.5 years ago and I had no issues. Once I drove for 6 hours without stopping (except for 15 minutes to refuel) and as for today I've reached the 9000 Km mark. It is a little underpowered even for an 125CC, but I really love its aesthetic.
6 hours with only a 15min pit stop is long time in the saddle, just shows what this little bike is capable of. Sounds like you have been much more lucky then us with yours, there is always something wrong it. But good to know people have had other experiences with them.
I own this bike for 1 year, it looks amazing, it feels amazing and its fun to ride, but the thing with the bolts dude... it is unreal. The bolts that this bike has are very short and like u said on the video cause of vibrations they unscrew often. To make sure you are safe to ride, you need to check some key bolts that hold the foot stands, the clutch, the rear break etc, before the ride every 5-10 rides. But u can solve this by changing the bolts and nuts with longer ones. I did that and i dont have this problem anymore for like 6 months with everyday riding. Tip: this bike can easily be disassembled with wretch ratchet sizes 10 to 20mm. Oh and one other thing because the bike is Chinese some of the metals are cheap and poor in grade. If you live by the sea and with humidity the metals rust pretty fast. You need to wash the bike often and spray antirust lub to metal parts. Safe riding
Hey guys great video..... I got my superlight 2 years ago and the only real issue I have is putting it in neutral when stationary.. but its not that bad as I just flick it in neutral when I'm rolling to a stop other than that ive had no issues bar the thing about the indicator indication light being very hard to see you hit the nail on the head there 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Something that isn't in this video because it's been modified is the rear break light holder is made of really cheap plastic, I've broken it on both sides and had to tape it, once from dropping it gently and another from abuse from pot holes (Found it funny how some box tape is stronger than the plastic haha). Thinking of getting a different break light and indicators. But saying that it's the only fault with it that I've found so far.
I’m 30 and buying my first bike, I wanted a Harley iron 883 but I need a 125cc to do my training and test on before I’m allowed to get insured on the Harley. I’m going to go for the superlight after watching your videos on it. Cheers guys very informative
that's exactly what my wife is doing we was thinking get used to the keeway and probably drop it a few times and make all the silly learner mistakes and in a few months when she had her full license get the iron😁
My son bought a second hand one of these five years ago to complete his CBT. We kept it and I’ve been riding it since then as a local daily and I’ve got to say it’s been the most comfortable and reliable bike in our collection.
I want a cruiser/bobber style 125, keeway looks cool with how it's customisable, but the quality issue is a worry, have you any thoughts on the sinnis hoodlum, outlaw or the hyosung aquila 125 ?
Have only heard from other people about the other 2 bikes you mentioned, so we can not really comment on the others. The Keeway is cool looking, but not well made. We have had other issues since this video was made. Good luck.
Can’t decide on getting this as it’s cheap and cheerful, or the Hyosung Aquila, that’s about a grand more but Vtwin and a bit more capable/robust. Not sure 🤷🏻♂️
I had one for 6 years didn't have to do anything to it apart from a new battery and changed the spark plug to a NGK service once a year went straight through the MOT no advisory absolutely brilliant bike , by the way your bike looks shit
Was looking for this, I've had it a couple times where when I lean too heavy to the left and scrape well before I would to the right. Luckily tho where I live most of the winding sharp corners are right turns. But it's always scary knowing the scraping noise you just heard could cut your engine off.
@@Gleny_14 lucky the trigger just came out and doesn't function just hope I don't forget to kick up the stand before the new one arrives which is taking its time
Hello, I’ve had this bike for a few months now and looking to mod it. It would be a great help if you could tell me where you purchased the solo rider seat? I’m having trouble finding one.Thanks in advance
Nice video, I’m thinking of picking one up, found one for 1.5k and seems like a steal but I’m still debating, heard a lot of questionable things about the build, quick question, should I just wait until I do my direct access later this year and get a proper bike, or pick this one up to run around on? Thanks
Hi Francis, Thats about the same as what we picked that one up for. Its completely a personal choice. It will not take you long to get pissed off with how under powered it is, and if your going to do your big bike licence you can get something that really suits you. Max finds the bike way to under powered and its actually dangerous if you ask me, you need power to get yourself out of trouble sometimes. Hope that helps. Like & Subscribe!
@@filmgrainrides Have to comment on a comment as my Addblocker stops me from making a fresh one. Done around 600 KLM on the bike from new. The issues I have found with the bike is 1. Mirrors are useless. You need to get them replaced or add extensions on them so you can see pass yourself. 2. Struggles going up hill. Now I am not a small person but I know this is a common complaint. 3. Headlight bulb is useless and need replacing when you get a chance. 4. The nuts near the riders seat, do stick in your legs when your just sat on the bike but not an issue when riding. 5. Rust needs to be kept under control as being Chinese it suffers from this. 6. Finding neutral when parking up can be a pain. 7. Indicators light on gage is hard too see in bright sunlight. 8. The speedometer is in kilometres with mph very small figures below. Sometimes hard to see at night what speed your doing. 9. Bike is heavy and turning circle is not the best. 10. If you can, replace the tyres. The standard ones don't like the wet but keep it around 30 mph and you should do fine. Only fault I have so far, The horn has it's moments of not working properly BUT it might be me not pressing it correctly. But in saying that....... 1. The bike ( mine is full spec with bags, wind-shield, crash bars, disc breaks front and rear ) has a very good presence on the road. Looks a lot bigger than a 125. 2. It is a head turner ( had quite a few comments on how good it looks ). 3. Sound great when cruising ( bit tinny going up hill ). 4. For a heavy bike, it will sit around the 50mph + area and not sound like it is struggling and I clock in at around 17 stone. 5. As a starter cruiser, It does the job. Intend too keep the bike for couple of years but I know once I pass my test. The Kawasaki Vulcan 650 might be it's replacement.
@@lordmalvada8212 Thanks for the comment. Yeah you picked up on some good points. Vulcan is an interesting option for the next bike. Whats the reason behind that?
@@filmgrainrides This is based purely on what I have seen on reviews so far. 1. First like the styling and would go for the Black with the Red trim. 2. Want a bike I can add saddle bags too as I find them really handy. 3. Has the ER6 engine which is a proven design. 4. Has adjustable foot pegs 5. Good turning circle 6. Light and easy too lean into bends with a long wheel base making it stable. 7. Better acceleration than the Honda Rebel 8. Should do 100mph ( No not a speed freak ) so should be fine on motorways with enough power when it is needed.
