The fuel tank on a scooter matic generally placed under the rider’s seat, whereas the sport Bike places the tank in the front seat with a more prominent position. The obvious differences can also be seen on the capacity of the tank, in which sport Bike comes with a tank with a much larger capacity (about 10-liter).
3) Transmission system
Scooter matic comes with automatic transmission called CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), so that gear shift does not need to be changed manually. This system allows the rider to act more freely when accelerate the bike.
In sport Bike, the transmission system comes with a combination of manual gear brake and clutch. It takes more energy to drive a sport bike, because you have to set the switching gear using the clutch lever on the left side.
