News continues to arrive to expand the catalog of the Asian brand, proving the thrust of models from those latitudes in our country and in Europe in general. In this case it is a new lightweight custom, as well as a classic scooter, the Keeway RK V125 C and Sixties 125-300.

The first is a custom, which despite its modest displacement, follows the most orthodox canons of its class, especially since it is powered by a V-twin engine. It is a new 125 cc water-cooled and injection-fed engine electronics that mounts three-valve heads.

This heart, capable of delivering 14.5 CV of power and a maximum torque of 14.4 Nm, almost at the limit of the category, sports a 2-in-1 exhaust that runs low on its right side.

In its cycle part there is an inverted fork accompanied by a pair of rear shock absorbers, while the brakes rely on a 300 mm front disc and a 240 mm rear rotor, assisted by a CBS system.

The wheels are 17” on both axes and mount generous rubber tires on their alloy wheels, 120/80 and 140/70 respectively.

The classic-shaped fuel tank offers a 19-liter capacity and the seat barely rises 690 mm from the asphalt, a detail that, together with a dry weight of only 164 kg, make this Keeway RK V125 C a model suitable for all the sizes.

Regarding the Sixties, Keeway is pleased to present it in two displacements, 125 and 300 cc

Its appearance, marked by the most traditional lines, is marked by a good number of details such as the emblem mounted on the front fender or the automotive-style grill that presides over the shield and houses the indicators. To this we must add a practice rear parcel rack or an elegant two-piece seat.

The lighting is entrusted entirely to LED elements and has a lock with a magnetic closure, a flat platform, a retractable hook for bags and a glove box in the rear shield.

The mechanics differ -obviously- in both versions, single-cylinder 4-stroke air-cooled in an eighth of a liter and liquid-cooled in the case of the 300. The powers follow the same pattern, so that the small one enjoys 10 CV for the 19 of his older sister.

Both mount 12-inch wheels and as far as brakes are concerned, the 300 combines a 230mm front disc. with a 220 rear and ABS system, while the 125 uses a 220mm front and 215mm rear. In this case the system is assisted by a CBS.

By the way, a small detail that refers to the German heritage of the Sixties can be seen both in the upholstery of the rear seat and in the front grille of the shield. This is the Victoria brand, the original creator of these models.

As for prices, the Keeway RK V125 C is listed at 3,790 euros and the Sixties range from 2,590 euros for the 125 to 4,090 euros for the 300.
