The Philippines still sells the air cooled model in addition to the liquid cooled one.  It's easier to add bling to the air cooled one.  They also have this cheap (41,000 baht) 150cc bike with a 5 speed manual trans.

And they're water cooled, dang it.

The "old" model has a carburetor and an oil cooler and no water cooler.

Exactly, on the new one I thought the cooler in front was for the oil but obviously it was for the water cooler.

Just a tip, but one many riders of all types of 'bikes are not aware of.  Always start to brake applying the front brake first.  Many have come croppers doing things the other way round.  Using the front brake first gives better control regardless of the position of the arms.  Also, using the front brake first helps prevent the 'bike's rear end from swinging around which mosr riders are not prepared for and that action can push the 'bike forward in an uncontrolled fashion or in an uncontrolled "slew" manouver.  Look at how speedway riders ride.

'nuf sed

Unless you have ABS front wheel braking can be rather more dangerous than the rear wheel skidding out IMHO...if you loose the front end in most cases its all over the bike goes down, rear wheel skidding while still dangerous not as much chance of going down...however you can get much more actual braking done with the front...in Thailand there is often sand/grit on the roads and lots if spilled diesel plus the usual "slippery man hole covers"

At one time I had 2  "first generation" Raider 150's  carburettor,kickstart,oil cooler and less fairings.

 

Always wanted one since the first time I saw this 125 "scrambler"  back in 2005 ( parked at the entrance to Walking street )
