I'm pretty sure the Raider 150 will easily outrun the ZX130. And the 150 has been around for a while in Thailand and the Philipines so parts shouldn't be any problem. The looks of the two bikes are VERY different. I guess it all comes down to a matter of personal preference.

Also remember the raider has full length front forks which REALLY make a difference to the bikes handling.

In what way? it's a cub not a sportbike...

 

Anyway, the Kawa ZX130 or most of those plastic covered cubs seems much cheaper to me. If you could remove the plastics and look at how cheap and basic the construction is side by side with the raider you will soon realize what CHEAPO is.

for me raider more on performance bike by spec(better than most cub but not comparable with bigger sportbike), and kaze are more practical for daily use. but both have big tachometer. and depend if you like clutch or not (kaze dont have).

 

still havent decide which bike to buy? or now you shortlist to kaze and raider?

I had to totally agreed with u.Of course the raider150 will let the Zx130 smell its smoke.The bike built for cub racing,Zx is purely for point A to B.All cubs looks cheapo,tat explain for its price with is only 1/4 of most bike.

Past rides are already history....

Get the raider.

It's basically a mod'd Sonic.

+ Bigger CC (more fun factor)

+ DOHC (free reving)

+ 6 speed Gearbox (Sonic is 5)

+ Better instrument cluster (GOT TACHO!!!)

+ OS front disc brake (STOPS better)

+ Bigger fuel capacity (to make up for larger CC)

 

Honda need to upgrade the Sonic with a CBR150 engine and gearbox to compete with the Raider. There is one guy who races a sonic at the local cub races (Kallang) with a CBR150 head on a Sonic engine bottom end (5spd gearbox).

It FLIES!
