Honda CB Shine prices and paint schemes updated

Honda has updated its CB Shine range with new paint schemes and funky decals. With the range now starting at Rs 55,559 (ex-showroom, Delhi), Honda has used this update as an excuse to hike the prices of the popular 125cc commuter motorcycle.

The four new paint schemes launched for the CB Shine are - black, geny gray metallic, maple brown metallic and imperial red metallic. Besides the new paint schemes, the CB Shine also gets a black visor for its front cowl and a redesigned tail lamp assembly.

The CB Shine is not only the most popular 125cc commuter bike in India, but also Honda’s international bestseller. It is powered by a single-cylinder engine which delivers 11bhp and 10Nm of torque through a four-speed gearbox. Along with Honda’s traditional reliability, the CB Shine also comes with tubeless tyres, an optional disc brake, adjustable rear suspension and alloy wheels. Honda also offers a top-end version of the motorcycle equipped with a CBS (combined braking system), priced at Rs 60,808 (ex-showroom, Delhi). It competes with other commuter motorcycles like the Yamaha Saluto, Hero Glamour and the Bajaj Discover 125.
