They are getting it all together...
Keeways new website...
These will likely be very popular, they call it a city 150.
They created a nicely done definitive line between what they sell as Keeway and what they sell as Benelli.
The top of the line Keeway should be the RKV 200, the bike with the 4-valve 200cc engine that offers about 17hp. Beyond that is the Benelli line with the BN251 as entry to the line.
They are still offering the v-twin Dorado and really should consider adding a SRV 250 standard to the keeway line.
RKV 200
Dorado
both of these are EFI models.

There is a bridge between, the RK versions some of them will use the BN251 frame and body parts, they will offer these with 125-150cc engines. This keeps all the models affordable as the frame gets highly utilized.
The new KSR GSR 125, is based on the same chassis as the Benelli Uno 250.
These are selling well in the UK for just under 2,000 Pounds.
They also are offering a Dual Sport TW125, which is not selling as well.
Their Code 125

and Worx 125
have been selling well.

They should consider resurrecting a Tornado line? Here is the cockpit of the 900, which was reasonably popular.
Here is the thing “missing” what is up with that, well evidently that represents all the bikes that did not get a model entered at registration, so we can assume that some of those are other Tornados, like the 650? This data is to date registrations, that represents all on the road today.
For sure these were sold in the UK in the 1970's

The bestselling Benelli in the UK is the 48x two stroke 50cc scooter. I never would have guessed. It out sells the Pepe 4x over, the bestselling unit is Superlight 125 who would have thought.
Benelli released a slew of new models, see post 35# within the thread on ECIMA in Milan.
Keeway is getting ready for the higher emissions standards in the EU, they will be offering EFI 125cc A1 models, some look pretty slick.
RKS Sport
TX2
I got a word from my friends at the factory that Geely has bought the state owned shares of Qianjiang therefore making it fully private
Thanks for sharing that, Is there a way to confirm any trades.
Here is an article about the “king” and its holdings.
It has never been very clear as to what the CSFC holds, that seems to be changing. My predication would be that financially QJ is highly leveraged. The CSFC is said to require a 15% return on equity referred to as “steady Eddie” by investing analysts, so why sell off any QJ stake?
Also it is not clear as to how other investing groups are chartered some seem to be totally government owned. Like CSG which is a major conglomerate, it is said that the CSFC only holds up to 3%, but what about the government holding groups.
Hello Benjamin, both of these are listed on the Keeway UK site. The engine in these is a QJ version of a Suzuki 125cc they rate about the same as the Suzuki, EFI does not typically increase hp. As for the photos, the marketing people rarely can discern anything remotely technological. Check the link there is a embedded You Tube video that clearly says RKS 150 and they are only selling a RKS 125, they settled for that as close enough?
the RKS sport resembles a Suzuki Gixer a model made in India by Suzuki.

However the Gixer is a 150cc...

The TX2 is different, it has a 125cc 4-valve, the price reflects that too.
Notice that Keeway in Poland is imported by Arkus & Romet.
The manufacturer is Qianjiang, the brand is Benelli, the importer DIP .
DIP is a French company and is importing several brands into the French market.
Benelli is offering into the A2 Classification within the EU.
A review of the BN251 and a review of the BN302, two competent A2 entries.
Here is a marketing video for the BN251, its definitively targeting a young audience. The BN251 is certainty a young person’s motorcycle…

In the USA the Benelli will be imported by the same company that sells imports under the SSR brand, the production quality of SSR’s marketing is not even close to that being used by DIP.
DIP is following the best approach to the market, importing and distributing manufactured brand names through a collective network, opposed to re-branding, with the acceptation of Orcal which likely is selling production out of one of the same manufacturers that SSR imports from a manufacturer named Dalong (Pioneer).
The rebranding is problematic when you have several import companies selling what is basically the same model out of the same OEM factory. It becomes hyper-competitive and with redundant product support costs, opposed to being an exclusive offering that optimizes profits simply through an economy of scale. One brand with one singular channel back to the factory, is less expensive and more manageable, the consolidated sales present a more sustainable distributor, able to sell more and earn more through higher volumes.
The BN251 for sale in Czech Republic.

84,900.00 CZK = 3,447.48 USD
There is also a 175cc version of the BN251 a version they sell in Vietnam, the 175cc delivers 12.4kw @9000 rpm.
Vietnam is getting this in addition to the 250, they also get a TNT15 which is sold as a Keeway in other markets.
Another interesting alternative is the TNT250 offered in Iran...
Its a 250cc twin rated at 23.5 KW/12000 RPM, the 299cc twin is rated at 28KW/10000R/MIN...
That offering is as surprising as seeing Benelli models above 250cc listed on the site.
