Reviews of Honda Shine

Buying Experience:
The process of purchasing the Honda CB Shine was smooth and hassle-free. The dealership provided excellent customer service, with knowledgeable staff who walked me through the bike’s features and financing options. The delivery was prompt, and the bike was handed over after a thorough inspection and a brief orientation on its features.
Riding Experience:
Riding the Honda CB Shine has been a pleasure. The bike’s 124cc engine offers a smooth and responsive performance, making city commutes effortless. The suspension setup absorbs bumps and road imperfections well, ensuring a comfortable ride even on uneven surfaces. The bike handles corners with ease and provides a stable ride at city speeds.
Looks and Performance:
The Honda CB Shine has a classic yet modern design. Its sleek body lines, chrome accents, and attractive color options give it a stylish appearance. The bike’s performance is commendable, with the engine delivering a good balance of power and efficiency. Acceleration is brisk, and the bike remains stable and vibration-free at cruising speeds. However, for those who frequently travel on highways, the performance might feel a bit limited.
Servicing and Maintenance:
Maintaining the Honda CB Shine is straightforward and cost-effective. The bike’s design simplifies routine maintenance tasks, and Honda’s extensive service network ensures that spare parts and servicing are readily available. The bike requires minimal attention, with regular oil changes and periodic checks being sufficient to keep it in good condition.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
1. Fuel Efficiency: Exceptional mileage, averaging around 60-65 km/l.
2. Comfortable Ride: Ergonomic design and effective suspension make for a smooth and comfortable ride.
3. Build Quality: Sturdy construction and high-quality materials ensure durability.
4. Low Maintenance Costs: Simple design and readily available spare parts contribute to low upkeep costs.
Cons:
1. Braking Performance: Standard drum brakes could be improved; the optional disc brakes are a better choice for enhanced stopping power.
2. Lack of Advanced Features: The bike lacks modern features like a digital instrument cluster and LED lighting.
3. Highway Performance: The engine may feel underpowered for long highway rides, with a top speed that may not satisfy more aggressive riders.
Conclusion:
The Honda CB Shine stands out as a reliable, fuel-efficient, and comfortable commuter bike. While it may lack some advanced features and has room for improvement in braking and high-speed performance, it remains a strong choice for daily commuting and offers great value for its price.

About the Reviewer

It looks like a Unicorn, the best-looking appearance while riding on this bike. Engine beat mesmerizes the race bike sound. Very comfortable in local and long drive also. Best pickup in this 125CC range. Good mileage. One remark is Low Head Light compared with other brands. Overall, it's good good-looking, best-friendly bike.

About the Reviewer

cb shine - prefer other model than shine .very high vibration on Handlebar while reaching speed at 60 and above more. rear suspension is very hard - not absorbing jerk while without rear pillion passenger. tyres are with small width and sliding on slippery road . bike parked in direct sunlight - engine system tries to boost while weather is in hot condition - its going to partial off condition and it again starts automatically while initial running.
ergonomically buttons and switches are good and mileage is good and headlamp light projection on night ride is good.
For some of these issues - next time i will prefer Hero glamour.

About the Reviewer

Buying experience was good, as purchase in cash. Then come riding, I am a comfort loving rider. But this bike cb-shine (2015) never full fill my expectations. It starts vibrating from 30 km/h. Next in 2 years your millage will go down from 65 to 55. Then it's chain get always loosen. I have changed it's chain socket 2 times in 5 year. In service I spent double the bike actually cost. Suspension was started making sounds from 3rd year. But good things about it is, it engine is power full, look is gentle , riding poster is also good, lights are descent .

About the Reviewer

The side guards on the Honda Shine 125 cc are flimsy and lack durability, offering minimal protection in case of a fall. They also rattle over time, adding to the bike's noise and giving a cheap feel to the overall build The Honda Shine 125 cc feels underpowered, especially on highways, and suffers from significant vibrations at higher RPMs. Its basic features, like the analog console and lack of LED headlights, make it feel outdated. The suspension is stiff, leading to an uncomfortable ride on rough roads, and the braking performance, particularly in the drum brake variant, is disappointing. Overall, the bike’s build quality feels compromised, and its performance is sacrificed for fuel efficiency, making it less thrilling to ride
