The race starts off with the YouTuber riding the Honda Shine SP 125. His friend drives the Raider 125. The race is quick neck to neck with both the bikes having almost similar power and torque outputs. In the first attempt, the Raider 125 beats the Shine SP but not by much. It achieved a top speed of 116 km/h. The Shine SP reached a top speed of around 114 km/h. There was a second attempt with the drivers being swapped to achieve reliable results. However, this time around both these bikes were riding close to one another. There was no definite winner. The wind blast and changing riders affected the results. We would give the Raider 125 a slight edge because of being a newer bike.
