Underbone bikes are the most mass produced and the longest production type of motorcycle ever and are still in production. There's no guessing that underbone type motorcycles are much loved all throughout Asia and in particular the Philippines.
The Suzuki Raider and Yamaha Sniper has been in the Philippines motorcycle market for quite some time now with each having their own share of fans and haters. Although there are other models in the 150cc segment, The Suzuki Raider R150, and Yamaha Sniper 150 MXi are the most accessed motorcycle in our motorcycle category which led us to find which of the 2 bike is best.
Both are in the 150cc class but to be specific, the Suzuki Raider R150 has an engine displacement of 149.7 cc while the Yamaha Sniper 150 MXi comes in with 147.3cc. Although both come with a Kick/Electric Starter, the Raider R150 have a larger fuel tank capacity of 4.9L in contrast to the Sniper's 4.2L. Another thing to consider is the transmission of these motorcycles, the Sniper 150 MXi comes with a constant mesh 5-speed while the Raider 150R have a more fun to play with 6-speed constant mesh.
