  • Is the Keeway Superlight 125 a mini Harley or just a stylish cruiser? Discover my thoughts in this detailed review!
    In this video, I delve into my experience with the Keeway Superlight 125, comparing it to my Harley Iron 883. This bike aims for a Harley-inspired look with plenty of style but faces some challenges in build quality and power. I share my honest impressions and how it stacks up against a larger bike. As this bike will be leaving me soon, I reflect on what made it unique and its overall performance.

    Hi THG! - you are so right about this fab learner bike! I ride ours regularly (since it was my son’s learner bike) even though I passed my test back in 1970! It’s the most comfortable ( and economical) bike in our modest collection. Thank you for sharing 🙏👍

    I didn’t want to ride a 125 at all. But not being on a bike in UK for 30 years I needed to. Needed the practice before big boy bike test and need to be on 2 wheels.
    It’s heavy, got no oomph, on hills it’s embarrassing and I’m only 12 stone. But I love it. It’s comfy and fun. A pleasure to cruise around towns and scenic spots and I always think the fuel gauge is broken because even after miles it barely goes down.
    You can get 70 on a flat road with no wind but surely no one is looking for top speed on 125.
    The baby Harley tag is cringe but it’s just fun.

    Great video. Thanks for sharing. I’ve got a Superlight, bought new in August. Genuinely love it. Obvs Harley is next step when I pass my test. I echo everything you say about comments from people. It’s a cliche but it’s definitely a head Turner. I’ve had no issues to speak of as yet and I’m 2k km in. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

      I ride my son’s old 2016 Superlight (carburettor model) - absolutely love it’s comfort, could ride it all day. Top Tip: If you can afford the little extra money, always use premium fuel. (I can honestly say it has made a noticeable difference to this bike’s performance and mine will easily maintain 60 - 65mph on a flat straight road). 👌

    • @TorOnTour

      Mine was carbed too, you are right the bike seemed much happier! Started up quicker and seemed to fuel easier too
      I rode it home from collecting it a good 40 miles having not been on a bike for 8+ years and I was right at home
      Genuinely loved the thing, gutted I don’t have it still but the Harley is my baby now

    Have you seen many people fit the 190cc kit. Im seriously debating on weather or not to get one for work and general schmooze around. Ive scoured the Internet to no avail im one to not leave things alone hance the 190cc mod. What sorta power with the right gearing would i be looking at. I'll be my first bike im wanting to hit 80+mph cheers

      No one mate, but if it’s cheap and easy to do I can see it being a great winter project
      Despite the name the bike is neither super nor light. It’s slow and a little overweight for its power.
      So id you can do something to get it up to 15bhp+ I say go for it, or do as I did and get your license and get a bigger bike

    no we do the 70+ mph by stripping the bike of excess weight and giving it a bit more kick with the mods.
    as someone who has ridden this bike for 4 years now i strongly advise against buying the fuel injected model (2016+) because then you will have the same wrong idea of a superlight only being able to reach around 50mph as this guy
