it is true! madami ako nakikitang binebenta na raider na bago with crash marks. akala kasi nung ibang buyers eh kagaya lang ito ng ibang underbones na lumabas and they did not anticipate the power. actually ang raider should not be considered as an underbone since ang chassis nya has a pattern like that of a sportsbike. compare mo sya sa cbr 150 ng honda at krr 150 ng kawasaki which is already classified as sports bike. yun nga lang ginawang underbone ang raider kaya sumobra tulin.

eto yun mga bikes with 150 cc displacements

Actually, as long as you're easy with the throttle and don't go over 3-4k rpm, it's easy to handle. Siyempre, you will have little "incidents" if you indulge the bike too much.

But I can't imagine driving that thing in traffic... medyo spoiled ako sa mga automatic na scooter...

parang tiptronic ang operation ng clutchless bike. may gears pa rin pero wala ng clutch na titimplahin. yun cvt or mga belt driven eh twist and go na lang

Ehehe... di nga ako puwede sa bikes na regular, eh... masakit talaga sa wrist kung overweight ka (guilty) or medyo may arthritis ka na (double guilty).

Most especially when pressing the clutch, switching gears and steering at the same time by your left hand.

amen to that, sportbike na rin talaga ang chassis ng raider, 'di na underbone, it just so happened siguro na walang under-engine frame/tube kaya lang siguro naging underbone saka walang tangke sa harapan ng saddle....

gusto ko tuloy bumili ng raider. pinaka maganda talaga yan sa mga underbones dito. i actually do not like auto clutch bikes kasi nga parang a/t na cars, sayang ang HP. i ride an XLR200 to work minsan, medyo mataas for a small guy like me pero di ako problemado pag napadaan sa lubak o pag umakyat ng sidewalk pag traffic. isip ko nga yung mga underbones na low profile tires, di uubra sakin yun pag nasa edsa. basag kagad rims ko kung sakali. sa ganda ba naman ng maintenance nd EDSA!
mabalik sa topic, tulo laway ko pa rin sa raider. you just have to be familiar with riding bikes to have to live with its minor qualms.
