Sawasdee Khrup Wichanan,

So how are you finding your first new bike in ten years? What made you decide on a new motorbike and specifically a Chinese made one? While it is true that almost all things are being manufactured in China, there are some big gaps in quality and many other areas of the manufacturing process and after sales supply chain. Anyway, glad to see there is a Thai onboard MCM, now this gives me another fellow biker to visit when I'm next in BKK or Thailand (which is way overdue).

Shiny side up

Hi bikerdoc


I spend my time in a car about 1-2 Hr. per day with big traffic jam in Bangkok and one day I walk on the road to my gym and meet it in the shop. I use few time to decide to buy this bike (My gf dont know about this 555+).

see you,.

Just picked up a demonstrator Keeway RKV20S and took it for a ride. Gear change is very light and easy. The engine is a 168FML-B but so far I have no details on it other than it's a SOHC motor. One source indicates 2-valves, another 4-valves. Five-speed gearbox, air-cooled. Cracks along at 110 km.h quite easily, even into a head wind. Front brake shudders, which may indicate the rotor is not true. Also feels aas if it does not have enought steering trail. Can be induced into a weave at 100 km/h quite easily. But it has a low seat height and a comfortable riding position. Will see how we get on...
