Reviews of Honda Shine

I have purchased on 1st Jan 2021 Honda shine bs6 model. I had a drive of about 1000 km. I hand hero Honda splendour which I used around 11 years. It was comfortable for my hight (5ft3inch). while purchasing Honda Shine I got fear of my hight...but it is very comfortable for even short riders of my hight. very smooth engine start and comfortable while riding ...no vibration and strain on back and thigh muscle. it's a very smooth and comfortable bike. no dought short rider of about 5.2 ft can handle this.. please don't confuse if you plan to buy the shine ..go for it.

About the Reviewer

This bike is known for its excellent refined engine and great ride quality and is great for daily riders. It provides a butter smooth engine with excellent fuel efficiency and has a five-speed gearbox but the price is a little high as compared to others. 55 kmpl mileage with 10 liters fuel tank capacity. It is very reliable and comfortable and has 18-inch wheels. This bike is solid all around and the paint quality is really good but the Instrument cluster design looks old. Dual channel abs should be given.

About the Reviewer

It's been nearly 3 years since I purchased the bike. I was confused between Honda shine and tvs centuro at that time but showed confidence in Honda shine. I had bought the bike from dealership near me in pane. Right from start all the agents there helped me a lot in buying process, pre- delivery inspection and all. In all if i want to rate the buying experience out of 5 stars I will give 5 stars. You sit in very comfortable position, so you can do long trips without much tiredness. Clutch is also not on a stiffer side, so it gets easy to do quick gear changes giving you a comfortable ride in city traffic as well. If I want to rate riding experience out of 5 I will give 4 stars. If I speak about looks of the bike, it is quite a stylish looking bike for city commute and the blacked out alloy wheels add more style in the overall look. It's 125cc engine gives a good power in city as well on highway. You will reach 100km/h easily but after that you will feel little vibration and are easily felt. You never feel out power in any situation and accelerates really quickly. The maintenance cost of honda shine is really very low. While it may vary from person to person on it's usage what the maintenance cost will be. But it is on the lower side as compared to other. The servicing can also vary from person to person, dealership to dealership. But I personally service the bike every 3 months and that costs me around INR 800 for oil change, washing, oiling, and other overall servicing. I have been using this bike for nearly 3 years now. While speaking about my long term experience, the bike has constantly delivered mileage of about 60 to 65 per liter which is definitely a good thing. As the user since 3 years, the performance and mileage is almost constant and not changed a lot. Though there is a slight noise in gear shift now but it's not a cause of concern and is negligible. Pros : stylish looking, good mileage, no lack in performance & power, best bike for city commute, comfortable seating position, not much costly, good dealer network. Cons : little engine noise, chain slips most frequently, disc brake little tighter. Overall it's a good package and a best budget buy for middle class people. It provides a complete package required for daily commute.

Perfect space for Seating
Very good bike for anyone who wants a 125 cc bike with 55KMPL Mileage

About the Reviewer

I reviewed it after I had using this bike for the past 2.5 years and 30000 km .it very punchy and fuel efficient and no doubt that Honda’s engine is very refined and smooth iam getting 50-55 mileage in the city and very comfortable in the ride but there is some issue but they are acceptable it’s plastic quality is cheap otherwise no bike in this category come in front of this.

About the Reviewer

It's the worst experience, 700 km clutch plates have gone, continues to sound after 3 Rd gear, when u are single it's okay to drive, but when double riders are there it has a pickup issue and it's struggling for pickup, multiple time timing chain and clutch sets changed when asked about an issue they say some manufacturing defect in mould,
Do not buy Honda Sine at all, worst service by the service centre and bike selling agencies,
Druvesh Honda is worst in that, they only worry about selling bikes, when approached for an issue they are least bothered and their service centre loots you by the name of service and others

About the Reviewer

Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox engine is simply smooth and make less noise. Pickup at the start is slow but once you pickup pace the acceleration improves.

One of the best mileage bikes around ~65km/l given that you drive under controlled conditions. (Remember this is not a race bike).

Maintaining speed limits to 40-50 km, avoiding frequent brakes, periodic bike service will definitely get you atleast 60km/l.

Switching between gears is as smooth as butter. But as regular bikes, gear wobbles a bit when you are on the top gear and you brake hard and down shift.

Ride quality & handling ride quality is amazing and has good seating space for a couple. Not space crunched unlike latest bike versions. Especially comfortable for women pillion riders.

Final words a perfect bike for daily use. No regrets after you own it.

Areas of improvement bike could be more stylish.

Pros

excellent mileage under controlled driving conditions; less maintenance; long term performance

cons

poor pickup; starting trouble

I bought bs6 honda shine a month back, buying experience is good, riding experience also good but with gear shift problem, it performs well in 1st to 3rd gear, service center people didn't address the gear shift issue and they know if is common in bs6 model, overall ok bike, but seating comfort is nice for longer distance.

About the Reviewer

It's the best-in-class daily commuter bike. Have been riding for 3 years and never get a complaint. Very low maintenance. Fuel efficiency is best compared to the amazing power you get in the 125 cc segment. No complaints about performance. Cons- need kicks in the winter cold. Headlight power needed to be enhanced. Could be better if they provided a lead. Design is subjective but I prefer a little more in that.
The buying experience was great, staff members were very kind. Riding my bike is just like trusting someone blindly. It has a shiny navy blue body with yellow stripes. The sound is so relaxing. It required less servicing and maintenance. It was my birthday gift and I got attached to it. I have created many memories with my bike And I love my bike.
I bought a new BS6 model. The buying experience is very good. My life first bike and a good choice. The riding experience is very good butter smooth no problem. Looking classic for office daily use and long rides. I am daily riding 60 km giving 75+ average in city and highway. Servicing and maintenance are ok. Best bike.
