Ride and Handling

Honda Shine is best suited for buyers who want a family commuter bike. It offers good ride quality, a reliable engine, and high fuel economy. But it has an old design, very few features, and the braking is also not as good as the competitors. The pricing of the disc brake variant is on the higher side, despite being less equipped with features.

Pros & Cons of Shine

What we admire in this bike

Build quality is the best in its segment

Design is neutral & liked by all

Engine performance is very smooth

Riding comfort is very good for long rides

Fuel economy is one of the best in the segment

What could have been better

Should I buy the Shine?

Honda Shine is undoubtedly one of the oldest & most reliable bikes in the 125cc segment. Honda’s superb build quality and comfortable riding position is the prime reason behind its sales. Additionally, its engine is very smooth and offers a very good fuel economy inside the city. But, its design is not aggressive which means its road presence is not as good as the rivals like the TVS Raider 125 or the Bajaj Pulsar 125. If you want a comfortable city commuter bike, Honda Shine is one of the best options to buy.

Smooth Ride

This is a very good bike in terms of looks, giving it a stylish and modern appearance. While riding, it offers an excellent smooth and comfortable experience. The new LED lights and digital speedometer add to its appeal, making it more advanced and user-friendly. The front charging point is also a very thoughtful and useful feature.
