Should you buy the 2024 Suzuki Raider R150 Fi?

The Suzuki Raider R150 Fi is a very distinctive and niche offering, with Suzuki making it look and feel like a bold take on rather utilitarian mopeds. Unlike other moped offerings, the Suzuki Raider R150 Fi focuses more on form over function. While it has the sleekness and compact dimensions of a conventional utilitarian moped, it offers the sportiness of premium sports commuters, making it an eye-catching thing on the road.

For its price, the Suzuki Raider R150 Fi is decently equipped with essential features, though we were expecting more that could have strengthened its position as a premium moped. However, for all the stylish visual appeal it offers, along with reliable mechanicals and engine, the Suzuki Raider R150 Fi makes sense for those who would like to have a unique take on mopeds. 

What are my alternatives?

The Suzuki Raider R150 Fi is the lone warrior in the 150cc sports moped category, making it a niche offering that is one of its kind. There are a few other less-powerful and less-pricier offerings in the moped category of the Philippines, such as Yamaha PG-1, Honda XRM125 DSX, TVS XL 100, and Motorstar Nicess 110.  

Other things to consider

While the Suzuki Raider R150 Fi is a unique offering of its own, one must note that it is not as practical as a scooter or heavy-duty as more affordable mopeds. This moped from Suzuki is an alternative to the 150cc sports commuter motorcycles, which makes more sense for those who want more style and muscle in their rides.
