Although it is in the top best-selling motorbikes of the Japanese car manufacturer, compared to its two compatriots Honda Winner 150 and Yamaha Exciter 150, the sales of Suzuki Raider 150 are still insignificant. In addition to the brand factor, the picky design is also one of the reasons for low sales.
