      It has a front disc brake, monoshock suspension, digital analog meter with eco-speed indicator, tubeless tires, and a well-tuned 160cc engine. The bike is a desirable option for riders seeking a balance between power and efficiency because of its muscular and fashionable style.

      Honda Shine 125 is more stylish than the other bikes in the same segment. It gives great comfort in riding. Its tubeless tire gives Hazel free riding. It also gives better mileage.

      Good bike for daily ride. Fantastic looks. Need to compromise with the average it can be disappointing. Overall a good bike. Service cost is slightly higher than Hero and other bikes but quality is good it's manageable.
