PERSONALLY, I BELIEVE THAT TO cruise comfortably at good speed, one cylinder is not enough and there used to be no option that would fulfil this requirement unless one ventured into the 650-cc segment; until Keeway entered the scene with the V302C. Keeway India seems to be a little confused about its motorcycle because the bike is described as a bobber on the firm's website but that's hardly the case. One look at that profile and it is easy to see that this motorcycle's styling has been inspired by an American cruiser icon.
The styling of this motorcycle does not raise any eyebrows because Keeway has played this one by the book. A 16-inch wheel at the front and a 15-inch one at the rear give the V302C an ideal low-riding cruiser stance with a reasonable 158 millimetres of ground clearance. The thick USD fork at the front runs up to a small but powerful LED headlamp to form the front end. Meanwhile, a teardrop-shaped fuel-tank holds 15 litres of petrol and sits atop the V of the engine with the air-filter in between them, creating a positive visual. From there, the rest of the motorcycle slopes away to form an equally retro tail.
