The Kawasaki KE 125's disc valve two stroke single was considered lively back in the mid 1975s, but nowadays it's just an average performer, although the low weight of the Kawasaki KE 125 (110 Kg wet) means acceleration is reasonably perky. The Kawasaki KE 125 gets vibey above 80 Km (50 mph) and a bit noisy too.
