Keeway K300 N vs Suzuki Inazuma 250

Does the Keeway K300N have what it takes to establish a niche in the Indian market? And, should you put your hard earned money on this Hungary-based, Chinese-owned motorcycle? Let’s find out.

We are the world’s largest motorcycle market, but in those numbers hides a disappointing fact: most of the two-wheelers that go on sale are clones of each other. Of course, this is driven by the market’s need, and the market is driven by need alone. We want fuel efficient motorcycles that are inexpensive, both to buy and run, can carry two hundred-kilo riders, and maybe a sack of potatoes or five milk cans, depending on the requirement. Motorcycling as a leisure activity has not really entered the mass-market’s consciousness, so when a motorcycle like the Inazuma is launched, the first question that comes to mind isn’t “Is this motorcycle ready for India?” but instead, “Is India ready for this motorcycle?”
