Keeway India will launch two new bikes soon and has teased the models on its social media handles. From the looks of things, one of them appears to be a naked streetfighter and the other is a faired sportbike. 

New Keeway naked streetfighter: details

The teaser video on the company’s social media accounts gives only short glimpses of the motorcycle’s front, but a few design elements do stand out. Hinting at the sporty nature of this upcoming bike is a golden USD front fork and streetfighter design elements like the sharp and edgy tank extensions and a radiator shroud. This is no guarantee that the bike will have a liquid-cooled engine, though, as we have seen companies put mock radiator shrouds on air-cooled motorcycles (a la Yamaha FZ-X). 

The bike also sports a small flyscreen, behind which is what looks like a fully digital instrument console. The front fascia of this upcoming bike resembles the RK 125 naked bike sold in international markets, but it is unlikely that Keeway will bring a small-capacity bike with a higher price point here. The headlight and front turn indicators are LED units, which makes it quite likely that the tail-light and rear indicators will be LED units as well. 

New Keeway sportbike: details

The teaser for the faired Keeway sportbike reveals that it has twin LED headlights, flanked by LED DRLs, integrated into its front fairing. The mirrors are positioned just above the headlight and appear to be foldable. It also seems to have clip-on handlebars. Considering the fact that Keeway has teased both these models at the same time, they could quite possibly be based on the same platform and share componentry under the skin.

We expect more details to trickle through in due course about Keeway’s upcoming motorcycle. This product comes just days after the recently-launched Keeway V302C bobber. Keeway also sells the Vieste 300 maxi-scooter, Sixties 300i retro scooter and the K-Light 250V cruiser in India.

Do Keeway’s products appeal to you over more established competition? Let us know in the comments section below.
