Hungarian two-wheeler giant Keeway in ¥149,000 (ex-showroom) at the 2023 Auto Expo on Wednesday. As competition intensifies in India’s neoclassical motorcycle segment, demand for such motorcycles is influencing the product strategies of the country’s two-wheeler makers, who are scrambling for a piece of the pie.
The Keeway SR250 motorcycle comes in a neoclassical retro themed incarnation, similar to the SR125, which has been launched in India. Like its smaller sibling with the 125cc engine, the SR250 has an old-school scrambler stance, with design elements including multi-spoke wheels, blocky tires, chopped fenders, fork shrouds, round gauges desk, ribbed seat. The list of features on this motorcycle includes a circular single-pod digital instrument console, Bluetooth connectivity and an LED lighting package.
The power source for the Keeway SR250 is a 250 cc single cylinder air cooled engine. This engine is a torque-rich machine in the low and midranges.
The Keeway SR250 will go up against rivals like the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, TVS Ronin and Kawasaki W175 in the Indian market. The latest SR250 model joins the car company’s existing lineup in India, with seven products already on sale.
