The Honda Shine is one of the most affordable Honda bikes in India. It is a commuter bike that starts at Rs 77,378 and goes up to Rs 81,378 in Delhi. All prices are ex-showroom as of August 2022.
In short, this bike
has only two variants with five colour options on offer. The Honda Shine 125
caters to a segment of buyers who are into understated looks but expect
considerable power delivery and efficiency. As for looks, the Honda Shine
resembles the outgoing, the Honda CB Shine 125.
This bike won't
bother you either for maintenance.
As mentioned
earlier, the Shine 125 has a respectable power delivery. The Honda Shine
specifications include a 124cc single-cylinder, air-cooled,
fuel-injected engine that produces 10.7PS at 7500rpm and 11Nm of torque at
5500rpm. Compared to its predecessor, the Shine 125 gets a jump of 0.4PS and
0.5Nm of torque. The ongoing Shine 125 also gets Honda's ACG (alternator
current generator) silent starter option, paired with a five-speed manual
gearbox. The fuel tank capacity of the Shine 125 measures 10.5 litres.
Moreover, the
potential customers of this bike would be delighted to know that the Honda
Shine's mileage is 55kmpl, as rated by ARAI.
Apart from the
specifications, this Honda Shine bike gets the same diamond
chassis, telescopic fork and twin pre-load-adjustable rear shocks. Furthermore,
there are options for a 240 mm disc brake and a 1300 mm drum brake. Then there
is also a combined brake system (CBS) that is kept standard on both variants.
That should assure good braking in unforeseen circumstances.
When it comes to
features, the Honda Shine 125 does miss out on a few new-age offerings, such as
LED headlights and a whole digital instrument cluster. Moreover, the look of the
instrument cluster may not be to everyone's liking or that of young riders who
are already into bikes. In addition, the instrument cluster displays basic
information about the vehicle, such as speed, odometer, and fuel gauge, to name
a few.
The Bajaj Pulsar NS125
directly takes on the likes of the Hero Super Splendor
and the Bajaj Pulsar 125.
Moreover, at
the Honda Shine price,
you can also consider its alternatives, like the Hero
Maestro Edge 125, TVS Ntorq, and Yamaha Fascino,
to name a few.

Shine, you can also explore other two-wheeler products from Honda. To get a
