Keeway TX 50 Supermoto
2009
2009
The 2009 Keeway TX 50 Supermoto was an entry-level offering in the supermoto category, aimed at riders seeking an affordable and accessible machine. While not directly inheriting a long lineage, it represented Keeway's attempt to capture a segment dominated by established European brands. Competitors at the time included models like the Rieju SMX 50, offering similar displacement and intended use.
Powering the Keeway TX 50 Supermoto is a 49.6 ccm (3.03 cubic inches) single-cylinder engine. Don't expect blistering speed; the engine produces a modest 2.6 Nm (0.3 kgf-m or 1.9 ft.lbs) of torque at 3000 RPM. This results in a top speed of approximately 45.0 km/h (28.0 mph), making it suitable for learners or those restricted by licensing laws. The motorcycle weighs in at 98.0 kg (216.1 pounds) dry, which aids in maneuverability. The fuel tank capacity is 10.00 litres (2.64 US gallons), providing a reasonable range for its intended use.
The TX 50 Supermoto offers a relatively upright riding position, characteristic of the supermoto style. This provides good visibility and control, which is beneficial for navigating urban environments. However, longer rides might become tiring due to the basic suspension and seat. The lightweight nature of the bike makes it easy to handle and flick through corners, though its limited power means you won't be challenging any lap records.
The Keeway TX 50 Supermoto from 2009 is geared towards young riders or those new to motorcycling, especially in markets where license restrictions apply to larger displacement machines. It provides an accessible entry point into the supermoto world, offering a fun and manageable riding experience. While it lacks the power and refinements of higher-end models, its affordability and ease of use make it a practical choice for its intended audience.
✅ Why buy this bike?
• Lightweight and nimble handling characteristics make it exceptionally maneuverable in urban environments and tight spaces. • Simple air-cooled engine is relatively easy to maintain and repair, reducing long-term running costs for owners. • Budget-friendly price point makes it an accessible option for new riders or those seeking an inexpensive commuter. • Supermoto styling provides a sporty and visually appealing aesthetic, attracting attention from other riders. • Fuel-efficient engine sips gasoline, making it an economical choice for daily transportation and short trips.⚠️ Things to consider
• The very small 49.6cc engine lacks power, particularly on hills or when carrying a passenger, limiting usability. • Top speed is extremely limited, making it unsuitable for highway use or longer journeys requiring higher speeds. • Component quality may be lower compared to more established brands, potentially leading to increased maintenance needs. • Limited availability of spare parts in some regions could pose challenges for repairs and maintenance.Rule of thumb: under 125cc / 15HP → A1, under 47HP → A2, above → A.
