Keeway v-cruise 125 review. This is the 125cc motorcycle you should buy! 

This review is absolutely on point! I just got one of these in Portugal as my first bike, and it has been a bliss learning to ride on it! I was confortable riding alone on the road after a few sessions of training by myself! The bike hasn't failed me once, it's super soft on the shifting, it's suprisingly strong on the gears, i have not yet let it "die", even when i was sure it was gonna die on some occasions, the bike held it's ground. I've also never dropped it because my feet are straight on the floor. It's super stable to ride, it's stable on curves, it's nicely visible in terms of lights (breaks, front lights, turn signals) and also in terms of being quite robust for a 125. So i think it's easier for cars to see me. Honestly it has everything i was searching for. I hadn't bought a 125 yet because i didn't like the typical 125's on the market, i wanted to learn to ride on the safest option, and aesthetics were also a condition for me 🤣. The issue is, as he said, it's a bit expensive , in Portugal you'll pay around 5100 euros for a brand new one. I got a bit less because i managed to get it seconhand with little more of 3000km on it (the first owner didn't adjust very well to the bike). But honestly i think it's more important to think about your safety than money if you're planning on getting a bike. I've seen friends getting cheaper light weight bikes like the Bullit Spirit 125, and they ended up falling alot, sometimes because the bike didn't held itself for their level of skill. Meanwhile i've ridden mine in the rain (accidently i didn't know it was gonna rain😅), as well as through really strong winds, and i was amazed by it's stability. I trully think that this bike is amazing for both learners and riders! So far worth every penny and i don't regret my decision, but i know i probably only got it because it was a secondhand, so a bit cheaper. If you have the financial capacity, do it!

Sealed the deal on one of these today! Went in after an RKV but UNFORTUNATELY they had none in stock and only one of these left. SHAME. Great to see such a genuinely glowing review from you, and the guys in the shop (who all ride Indians and Victories) couldn’t praise it enough either! Absolutely buzzing to pick it up in a couple of weeks and finally start my 2 wheeled journey 😩🤘🏻

Just rode a sportster - this looks fantastic! Great video - subscribed

Looks great however i would like to see a review after 2000 or so miles. Having had a sinnus and a pretty bad experience with it..

You must be the 1st to actually do a proper review on this , I've been waiting for ages for a review it looks awesome , have you done the sinnis terrain 125cc?

My favourite 125 motorcycle 😍

Love my RKV125C, all broken in know and get up to speed and keeps up with traffic . Always getting complement on the look and people being shocked that it's a 125 .

Shame about that rubbish matt black exhaust, mild steel painted is bad, a coating on the exhaust like the RE meteor fireball is the best option especially for the UK weather, OK you won't have to polish it, but you will be spending time rubbing it down and heat painting the thing 😮

It looks like my iron 883 but at half the weight and with better ground clearance.

I bought this motorcycle 1 month ago, it is the fastest way to waste money, the engine has broken before reaching 1000 km....

I am looking to buy in lanzarote but could you help me as the v cruise is a chained drive help tom

What a fabulous review 🙂

16 05 in the guy on the right on the big bike spoke a thousand words nearly broke his neck when he saw this coming down the street

Four and a half grand for a 125cc bike is very expensive for a budget bike. I have a Royal Enfield Meteor in supernova trim and that was just over four grand for a 350 and it is a lot of bike for the money. I am very satisfied with my purchase and it compliments my RE Classic 500 which by the way was a similar price to the 125 you have there.

To be honest the bike looks like it was designed by someone into S&M the black looks ok but the silver bolts make it look like a gimp suit.

Can you do the x light ? One review is polish or something

Beautiful, I might get one. I'm just not sure if it suits me well, I am 6'2(1,87cm) tall and ride alot of steep hills, does it has the strenght?

Thanks for awesome info n review, going to buy this bike, my last bike was suzuki Gsxr 1000 2012, and now i lost my A license here in italy, now i can only ride 50cc maximum 125cc

I was humming and arring over this the rkv and r125. I bought the r125 but i think id still look at this and think did i make the right choice. Price wise i did but looks wise not a chance

I managed to get mine but only because the importers had to hunt one down that wasnt allocated, as the dealer had already promised one. If anyone is looking to get one in the UK, next shipment sounds like itll be October

What about reliability? I come from a 100k rebel, looking for a cheaper 125 but has to be safe and grind those miles

im sorry but even Lerner bikes well any motorcycles are just getting so expensive now £1200 at one time you could get a half decent bike but now. you can only get one that needs loads of work done to it so us skint guys cant afford a motorcycle now a biker cant afford a bike any more

Is it me or they look like the Harley Davidson sportster?

I can’t believe that’s only a 125 it looks like a Harley. I love it

Guys! Where do I get one?? Looked everywhere! Help would be appreciated . Thanks

Looks stuning and the specs are amazing. The price not to nice, but this is a premium 125. The switches looks like the benelli trk 502 ones.

So let me see if I got this right, you can't see the mirror without moving your arms 🙄 not a great idea for a learner machine ya think

mine was delivered today and the postman queried about it and didn't believe me when i said it's a 125cc....

As much as i want one, i wouldn't say it's cheap. Since they're still very new (as in less than a year), you aren't finding many, if any second hand, and if you want one new, it'll cost over 4k.

Damn. Now i really wanna get a UK license 😭

whats build quality like does it go rusty 5 mins out of the show room?

my guy look at the keeway dark flag it is a mean looking bike

C'est vraiment une belle 125 ! (voyez, voila 😜)

they also make a 300cc for another £400

No 50 year old man who has decent riding experience would recommend a Chinese 125cc bike. Not in a million years. The manufacturer either gave you that bike for free or paid you. I can see by the number of times you have responded to comments that your interest is purely a marketing one for the company. Anybody interested in this bike would be better off buying a Japanese 125cc scooter or a Honda Grom. It will last 10 times as long and have build quality far exceeding this bike. We both know it

It's cheap and looks like a Harley so I'm not surprised.

For starting withou any experience on a motorbike and long jouneys, do you reccomend it?

im looking at getting my first 125, what you recommend someone, whos 6'4 using it for work and some cruising, This or the Superlight 125 with the side bags?

I wish this bike would lounch in India

sounds like a toothbrush

I stopped listening when you said premium. 😂 The electrics will fail after a month of the harsh UK wet winter and then you won’t be able to buy parts to repair them. Mark my words….in 3 months they will be trashed on eBay for 1k.

That's probably underpowered af.

Looks amazing but only 1 thing that rubs me the wrong way…looks like it has small pocks or something with all those silver bolts and screws. They should have colour coded them.

the bar end mirrors are no good on any bike., i have one on my left as the other broke off. too small and chances of knocking them off are much higher with bulky gloves and if you dont knock them off you are constantly re adjusting when you bump them with your hand getting on and off.

i hope this model will be release in the Philippines

This vs the Yamaha xsr 125 legacy?

A Warrington lad....got to be good....not a bike I would buy at this moment in time.....but for the price....WOW. Dont like those mirrors.....but the bike in general looks great....I am a chrome man myself....but whats not to like. Ride on.

looking at getting one of these bikes! need to get my CBT done first though. been soaking up all v cruise media since my decision. would love to see a follow up video of a well run in bike and if any issues had occurred!

With 125 cc so huge and heavy it’s no good it will not speed because according to engine cc power weight and size is too big no match😢

Its absolutely worth the money

Bit disappointed that you did not film her starting up?

I bet it will still go 'off' far sooner than a Japanese bike. They all look good new but the material quality lets them down. 18 months and through a British winter and it would look right scabby.

Popular little bike. I see a lot of youngsters riding these.

I'm looking for a ride and I LOVE this bike,but there is another one coming this 2024,that i think its going to be better...the UM Renegade ST 125cc...

I am impressed, V-Twin, just 125 CC with14hp, but for Chinese make, I wonder after service. Though it's made for international market, should I mention that Chinese govt. have banned use of all types of motorcycles in Chinese cities.

This has that drag bike vibe. Mean rear fender and semi frenched light but what were they thinking with the lower indicator bar. Horrid. A chunky plain bar would have at least been better, I would cut an inch or so off that fender and fit a wider tyre if possible. Bar end mirrors would work better with slightly bent in arms. Some diamond stitching would have been a welcome addition to the upper seat. Great short front fender. There are some great design touches here. It looks to me like the janitor had a hand it because some of it looks incongruent. I'm tempted but would have a fair list of custom changes. This could be the best looking 125 cruiser/drag bike around.

Just not enough power

Just seen one in a Royal Enfield dealership I've been to look at some bikes for me and the wife saw this and had a sit on. She's a short arse and could comfortably flat foot. Might be looking at one for her once I have my Enfield :D

I'm in a dilemma for this bike or the Zontes 125 C cruiser. The Zontes should be a bit faster.

back seat is good for kim kardasian hahahahahahahahahahaha

Great review! Do you think it's a good bike for a long comute (70km)?

Just watch out for transmission. Like to breaks after 5K miles

Was thinking about this bike as i have rkf 125 but dealer dont let me know valve clerance data so my next bike will be one with decent customer service

Is there anyway to get those last few horses out of it to get it to the 15bhp

Sorry to ask but is anyone able to find an aftermarket exhaust for this bike ? I love the look of it but I’d want a louder and better looking exhaust if possible, thanks.

Which price in india

can i ride this with 196cm height?

There is sadly no stores in belgium,i would love to have one like this.

nice over 1000 pounds more rkv c same power pack, just few bit more, just looking today at thid bike 4600 pounds over price for this ,

further to my comment below I now have a v cruise! A gorgeous little bike so pleased with it.

Is it a manual or automatic?

Its an obvious sportster copy ,

it is the revised Romet rcr

Not as nice as Yamaha's Ybr125 custom but that's just my opinion

looking for something pre DAS for a year and this is so good to look at. Shame it is so new as I would prefer to buy second hand

is it fit for couple??

Just want to say thanks for the review and all the great comments on here. I've just got back from the dealer and will be picking up my new V-Cruise in 5 days time and I can't wait. I'm from the UK but have lived over here in Spain, near Malaga, for 6 years. Was never into bikes in England, although I was part way through learning when we left, and I absolutely love riding now. We can ride a 125 here on a car licence without plates and as the bike tests are the only ones here that have to be taken in Spanish (nobody can tell me why that is and my written Spanish is still a work in progress) I'm hoping this bike will satisfy my needs. I had an old (failing) Kawasaki Eliminator before this and I can't wait to get out on the great (and quiet) roads here. With the current exchange rate at 1.17 I paid a few quid over £4000 here, brand new, all in!

Good reply will buy with belt drive what a quality review

Are these good for 6-foot guys? I always feel small on ultra-low seats

Still haven't jumped the pond.

Top speed will it rsach 70 mph

❤

These retail in ireland for around €4600 brand new and for an extra €1400 you can buy a v302c and it's a shame cos for that little bit extra I'd just go for the bigger engine. It's a big ask for a 125cc.

Oh leave it out 😂 give it a year and bits rust , fall off and break Buy it for 2 grand sell it a year later for £800 just after waiting 8 weeks for parts from China Do yourself a favour and buy a Yamaha ,Suzuki or Honda v twin

Hi! Is not having ABS in that price range a problem ?

Isnt it simply a benda 125 avengers.

I have one with 4000 km. Stills great. Great deal

is it keyless

It's an expensive toy perfect for lil girls!

U get alot 4 the money

It looks fantastic for the money

Can you send me me the link to order?

Keeway just have a 300cc variant out here in Indian market.

The passenger grab handle is the strap going over the seat you nearly touched it .

Please lets have this bike in Denmark!

Kind of surprise they release in 125 to your country, becoz here in Indonesia is 250cc

Bj

Is the saddle only for one person?

164 kg? Forget it!

i wish these bikes were sold in Brazil. Great review.
