Keeway K-Light 250V: Same Price, Other Options

From an ADV to a supersport, here’s all that you can opt for instead of the V-twin cruiser

The Keeway K-Light 250 has entered the Indian market with a hefty price tag of Rs 2,89,000. Although it is an interesting product and something that stands apart in the quarter-litre segment, it still isn’t as powerful as its alternatives, or even some lower-displacement cruisers. So here is all that you can get at the asking price of the K-Light 250V.

Keeway Vieste 300

If you were looking for something more easygoing, then what’s better than a powerful maxi scooter, and one that’s the K-Light 250V’s stablemate? The Keeway Vieste 300 is the most powerful sub-300cc maxi-scooter in India, though it costs more than the K-Light 250V at Rs 2,99,000 (ex-showroom India). It is powered by a 278.2cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine (unlike the cruiser’s air-cooled one) producing 18.9PS and 22Nm. 

KTM 390 Duke

At just Rs 5,000 more, the 390 Duke offers a larger capacity engine with much better performance, and also packs a whole lot of tech. Powering the Austrian naked is a 373.27cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder motor capable of 43.5 PS and 37Nm.

TVS Apache RR 310

At around Rs 24,000 less (Rs 2,65,000, ex-showroom Delhi), you can go for TVS’ flagship bike, the Apache RR 310 which is also the only supersport on this list. The RR 310’s incredible looks are paired with a potent mill and it also gets a whole lot of features. With the BTO kit, which adds around Rs 20,000 to the mix, the bike also becomes a more committed track tool, and gets adjustable suspension to suit your liking.

BMW G 310 GS

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650

If you are in the market for a twin-cylinder bike, then you can check out the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650.
