Keeway Superlight 125 Review

Used Buyer Review

The Keeway Superlight 125 is one of those bikes that looks better in photos than it does in a dealer forecourt, but honestly? For the money, it punches its weight. The retro cafe racer styling genuinely turns heads, and the 125cc single-cylinder engine is predictable and smooth enough for city commuting. Don't expect fireworks — it's making around 11bhp and that's the ceiling. Twist it flat and you'll see an indicated 70mph on a good day, downhill, with a tailwind. Used examples tend to cluster around the three to five year mark, and that's where you need to be sharp. Check the chain and sprockets hard — owners often neglect them. The electrics can be temperamental on higher mileage bikes, and the Chinese switchgear feels exactly as cheap as it is. Mirrors vibrate badly above 50mph too, which gets old fast. That said, for a new rider wanting cafe racer style without cafe racer money, it makes real sense. Just budget fifty quid for a decent chain set and you'll be fine.
