Keeway Cafe Racer 152 – Physical Attributes:

The new Keeway Cafe Racer 152 is a very beautifully designed entry-level commuter motorcycle that comes with an old-school cafe-racer design. The motorcycle is designed so attractively that you may not expect that from such a small machine. Technically, it’s a 150cc small capacity commuter motorcycle that solely holds the retro-styling, especially copies the 70-80s motorcycle design. But undoubtedly, it is crafted with modern technical features.

However, Keeway Cafe Racer 152 is born blending with all old-school styling from its head to tail. The motorcycle comes with a retro aesthetic that begins with its round-shaped headlamp assembly, which features turn indicators on both sides. On the naked top, the round ODO console features an analog-digital combination that is complemented by a retro chrome bezel.

Rather than the ODO and ignition key pit, the cockpit is fully naked and excludes any unnecessary panels. The handlebar is a single-piece pipe handlebar that features common control switch arrangements. Next, the metal fuel tank features a retro design as do the compact side panels. They're a bit rounded at their edge and features a retro colour and graphical scheme enhancing the café-racer vibe. Matching the design, it features sa ingle-piece stitched cushioned seat that has an optional cowling at the tail.

Meanwhile, the motorcycle features a completely naked tail that excludes a conventional grabrail. Then, along with the rear turn indicators, a naked round tail lamp is pinned naked on the rear wheel mudguard. Consequently, the registration plate hanger is also mounted on the mudguard, featuring classic styling. Lastly, along with old-school wired-spoke wheels and gun-barrel exhaust muffler, the motorcycle entirely showcases an absolute café-racer design that literally looks cool.
