        My bike was registered in 2014, and I would like to request an exchange offer. I’ve had a great experience with my old Shine, but since it’s an older model, I’m planning to upgrade to a new bike. Please provide me with a suitable offer.

        This bike is really nice with good mileage and low maintenance. It looks attractive, has good pickup, smooth speed, and comes in great colors. The fuel tank capacity is impressive, and it can comfortably carry up to four people. Gear shifting is smooth, and both the lights and horn work very well.
