And often small size engines struggle more to tackle the stresses of producing enough power within their small capacity. Thus in every aspect, small capacity motorcycles are weaker than standard size motorcycles.
  • Small size motorcycles are commonly featured with comparatively a weaker setup of controlling and handling features like narrower tires, entry-level braking systems, and normal suspension systems.

Consequently, the rider needs to put more effort to ride those motorcycles while riding for long.
  • Being featured with small capacity and lower performance engines, small size motorcycles are obviously low-endurance vehicles. Hence its durability and stress handling capacity is limited which is much lower than the bigger capacity motorcycles.
