  • Worst experience cb shine 125

    6 years ago


    Abhinav Anand

    I bought this bike from pahadiya honda, patna; firstly i would never recommend this showroom/store(pahadiya honda) to purchase from this store. When i visited the store and asked them for a test drive they asked if i really gonna buy this and after my assurance they agreed for my test drive. I felt bad but to keep my words i bought the bike from that store. After documentation process i drove my home that is approximately 6km away from that store and engine get heated terribly. I thought it may be due to first drive. Next day after a ride of 5km it again got heated too much. I contacted the store and they said it’s normal. But it was not normal. I had splendor earlier and i never face this kind of issue in that model. Also while shifting gear from 3>4 or 4>3 it stuck all the time and that’s a big issue for me as i travel on highways regularly. During service i told this problem but it didn’t get fixed. So i recommend people not to buy this shit alternatively you can choose among hero passion, hero ismart, bajaj pulsar 135/150.

  • Very bad experience with honda service

    1 year ago


    Amit Tripathi

    So here I want to share my disappointing experience with honda shine bs6. I have bought the extended warranty, Teflon coating etc but initially, there was the issue of tuck sound from the front shock up and mudguard but service people applied a tap on the visor. The mirror issue was there but that is not sorted. Gear stuck and noise is there shown many time to service but no solution for that.
    Many times are shown by the service center they just do general service, minor repairs. Even don't wash your bike.
    They never change parts in the warranty period. Been fed up with there service.
    They wrote bike reading 12304 on Dec 22 while the current reading is 9198.

  • I am happy with its driving functions

    3 years ago


    Ghanshyam Ray

    It's a great bike if you are looking for daily commuting. The bike will give you great mileage 50-55 easily without any issue. If you are someone who is looking for fun to ride a bike then don't go for it if you rev it hard you are gonna lose mileage more than 60 kmph the engine gets heated so much and you can feel the vibrations also on the footpeg there should be more refinement in the engine and all 1 -2-3 gears are short but 4 gear is long you are gonna definitely miss the 5th gear as well there should be a proper gearing ratio unpleasing experience after 60 km for a brand like honda it's not worthy. Seat comfortable is great...I have hero honda passion plus also it is 14 yrs old bike but after 55 kmph I feel like the engine way better than honda shine.the bikes are today getting more styles but in build quality and durability of bikes are getting low day by day they are selling their products on the name of the brand only.

  • Its amazing to ride and sit behind it

    1 year ago


    Shashi Jha

    My riding experience with bikes is damn good. If I talk about looks then this honda shine bike looks amazing. Performance wise honda shine bike is known for good performance. This bike needs low maintenance. Servicing is mandatory for this bike every 1 year. Overall pros of this bike are more and the cons are so less.

  • Good bike, less maintenance but less mileage

    8 years ago


    Sunil

    Style for simple person its good.


    Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox good pick up, it should have had 5th gear, i never got fuel economy more than 55kmph.


    Ride quality & handling ride quality is ok or average since its suspension are not that good to give comfortability and rear tyre should have been of 3.00 Inches instead of 2.75.


    Final words i would still say its good bike since it never gave problem regarding any part failures except change of front suspesion rings in 5 years and more than 55000km.


    Areas of improvement 1, they should seriously improve on suspension and mileage which will give this bike cutting age.

    Pros

    less maintenance, good pick up

    cons

    less average, not good suspension

  • Basic reliable practical but can be better.

    3 years ago


    Suraj Tawde

    I got this bike in 2018 on finance but was costly as compared to rivals. The riding posture is comfortable with good pickup but lacks power on high revs, along with weak top-end performance. After 45 km/h I don't like to drive, no confidence to drive on high speeds. Engine is noisy on higher rpm. Negligible vibrations, Brakes are good, but we have to be careful as the wheels can lock on panic braking. Mileage is 50km/l. Looks are good, does not feel like a small bike. Just younger commuter cousin of unicorn. Servicing is cheaper, no problems yet.
    Pros : Pickup, looks, low end performance, handling, easy gear shifts and clutch feel, suspension.
    Cons : Weak top end (don't expect performance)Mileage is less in rivals comparison.
    Basic features/ basic instrument cluster, narrow tyres, visibility of headlights.
    Verdict :- Cb shine is good but not suitable for longer rides, highway performance is weak, go for Honda Unicorn or other value for money bikes.

    If you're looking for a reliable ride, the Honda Sine 125cc bike is a winner! It's simple to buy, provides a smooth and enjoyable ride, and looks great while performing well. The servicing is hassle-free, and it requires very little maintenance. This bike has quickly become my favorite; the build quality is excellent, and the engine starts quietly and runs smoothly. With an attractive price point and five color options, I personally love the black one!

    It's a great bike if you are looking for daily commuting. The bike will give you great mileage 50-55 easily without any issue. If you are someone who is looking for fun to ride a bike then don't go for it if you rev it hard you are gonna lose mileage more than 60 kmph the engine gets heated so much and you can feel the vibrations also on the footpeg there should be more refinement in the engine and all 1 -2-3 gears are short but 4 gear is long you are gonna definitely miss the 5th gear as well there should be a proper gearing ratio unpleasing experience after 60 km for a brand like honda it's not worthy. Seat comfortable is great...I have hero honda passion plus also it is 14 yrs old bike but after 55 kmph I feel like the engine way better than honda shine.the bikes are today getting more styles but in build quality and durability of bikes are getting low day by day they are selling their products on the name of the brand only.

    Shashi Jha

    My riding experience with bikes is damn good. If I talk about looks then this honda shine bike looks amazing. Performance wise honda shine bike is known for good performance. This bike needs low maintenance. Servicing is mandatory for this bike every 1 year. Overall pros of this bike are more and the cons are so less.

  • Good bike, less maintenance but less mileage

    8 years ago


    Sunil

    Style for simple person its good.


    Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox good pick up, it should have had 5th gear, i never got fuel economy more than 55kmph.


    Ride quality & handling ride quality is ok or average since its suspension are not that good to give comfortability and rear tyre should have been of 3.00 Inches instead of 2.75.


    Final words i would still say its good bike since it never gave problem regarding any part failures except change of front suspesion rings in 5 years and more than 55000km.


    Areas of improvement 1, they should seriously improve on suspension and mileage which will give this bike cutting age.

    Pros

    less maintenance, good pick up

    cons

    less average, not good suspension

  • Basic reliable practical but can be better.

    3 years ago


    Suraj Tawde

    I got this bike in 2018 on finance but was costly as compared to rivals. The riding posture is comfortable with good pickup but lacks power on high revs, along with weak top-end performance. After 45 km/h I don't like to drive, no confidence to drive on high speeds. Engine is noisy on higher rpm. Negligible vibrations, Brakes are good, but we have to be careful as the wheels can lock on panic braking. Mileage is 50km/l. Looks are good, does not feel like a small bike. Just younger commuter cousin of unicorn. Servicing is cheaper, no problems yet.
    Pros : Pickup, looks, low end performance, handling, easy gear shifts and clutch feel, suspension.
    Cons : Weak top end (don't expect performance)Mileage is less in rivals comparison.
    Basic features/ basic instrument cluster, narrow tyres, visibility of headlights.
    Verdict :- Cb shine is good but not suitable for longer rides, highway performance is weak, go for Honda Unicorn or other value for money bikes.

    If you're looking for a reliable ride, the Honda Sine 125cc bike is a winner! It's simple to buy, provides a smooth and enjoyable ride, and looks great while performing well. The servicing is hassle-free, and it requires very little maintenance. This bike has quickly become my favorite; the build quality is excellent, and the engine starts quietly and runs smoothly. With an attractive price point and five color options, I personally love the black one!

  • Worst experience cb shine 125

    6 years ago


    Abhinav Anand

    I bought this bike from pahadiya honda, patna; firstly i would never recommend this showroom/store(pahadiya honda) to purchase from this store. When i visited the store and asked them for a test drive they asked if i really gonna buy this and after my assurance they agreed for my test drive. I felt bad but to keep my words i bought the bike from that store. After documentation process i drove my home that is approximately 6km away from that store and engine get heated terribly. I thought it may be due to first drive. Next day after a ride of 5km it again got heated too much. I contacted the store and they said it’s normal. But it was not normal. I had splendor earlier and i never face this kind of issue in that model. Also while shifting gear from 3>4 or 4>3 it stuck all the time and that’s a big issue for me as i travel on highways regularly. During service i told this problem but it didn’t get fixed. So i recommend people not to buy this shit alternatively you can choose among hero passion, hero ismart, bajaj pulsar 135/150.

  • Very bad experience with honda service

    1 year ago


    Amit Tripathi

    So here I want to share my disappointing experience with honda shine bs6. I have bought the extended warranty, Teflon coating etc but initially, there was the issue of tuck sound from the front shock up and mudguard but service people applied a tap on the visor. The mirror issue was there but that is not sorted. Gear stuck and noise is there shown many time to service but no solution for that.
    Many times are shown by the service center they just do general service, minor repairs. Even don't wash your bike.
    They never change parts in the warranty period. Been fed up with there service.
    They wrote bike reading 12304 on Dec 22 while the current reading is 9198.
