Keeway Speed 150


Quinqi 200 is also good.


Those motorcycles are basic, simple and work well. Quite reliable. Almost as good as Suzuki GN125 which I owned. At the time I got the GN, it cost around 1300 euros 2nd hand (over 10 years old), while Keeway Speed 150 was 1000 euros brand new. I did opt for a 2nd hand jap, but a mate who got the Speed is still riding it with no problems.

Unfortunately has to be 125 due to UK license law

Couldn't recommend any particular 125cc model. Though Keeway should be rather good quality.


Hyosung is Korean I believe. Better quality, though spare parts are hard to source in Serbia - not sure of parts availability in the UK. As far as spare parts go - 2nd hand japanese hands down.

Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.

When we first set up the stall for doing festivals and show we bought a Chinese generator, and after we had bought 5 generators in 2 years we invested in a Honda one which has been worked without drama (I do service it twice a year) for 5 years
