Hello from Ireland
Hi All, just joined up. I own a new Keeway Speed 125 which I bought a week ago. I am looking forward to looking for and passing on advice. I have been biking for a long long time but this is my first Chinese bike.

Cheers everyone. I will try to post pictures of the bike on the gallery. I have just registered so am waiting on approval. Was out for a short ride this evening 4 degrees C here so can't wait for my heated grips to arrive

We can't post pics directly to this site; a third party site needs to host them. Here's a tutorial: http://www.chinariders.net/modules.p...wtopic&t=11188

Nice bike! I like the low-slung exhaust and the piggyback shocks. The five spoke rims are a nice touch.

Thanks for posting the photo; your bike looks great!
I really like the offset on the five-spoke, mag wheels. Spud

Is the Keeway available in North America?
It is the best selling Chinese bike in Ireland, probably due to the fact it was the first Chinese bike here and it has been improved gradually. Where as Lexmoto would be the biggest selling Chinese bike in the Uk. |

I just did an internet search.
Here is the Keeway-America website.http://www.keeway-america.com/ Here is a list of the dealerships in the United States. http://029b5b4.netsolhost.com/locations.html#ID Keeway sells a lot of scooters here, but only two motorcycles. The Keeway Speed 150 appears to be your bike, with a slightly larger engine. http://029b5b4.netsolhost.com/product/Speed.html    The Keeway Dorado 250 is a nice looking bike with a V-Twin engine. http://029b5b4.netsolhost.com/product/Dorado.html    Spud

Spot on Spud. Yeah the extra 25cc would make a difference and also obviously the front headlight with fairing, the matt black engine and the full chrome exhaust is changed for the American market,
Clocks are the same as mine though!  Uploaded with ImageShack.us  Uploaded with ImageShack.us  Uploaded with ImageShack.us |

I think your bike has a nice dashboard. The center stand, locking gas cap, and luggage rack are also very nice features.
