                        Affordable and reliable
                        I had a test drive of shine, xtreme and this one. At the end i came on a conclusion that pulsar would be good and best choice, since other brands offer something is not expected like after sale service. City presence is so good. Quick pick up and gear shift is something which is better than expected. Size is okay for 5.5. Breaking is too good. I am getting an average of around 55 to 60 when I am travelling around 15 km on a daily basis. The person who is committing daily on a daily basis like between 20 to 30 km, they can prefer to buy because its giving a better in average also, I will say that in traffic gearshifting is too good, so someone who is height of around 5.5 those are okay to go for it.

                        Light and Easy to Control
                        I chose this for the best aesthetic and engine performance. I do a fair amount of solo touring and while the bike doesn't quite perform well over 70 mph it still offers the best setup for different rider needs. I travel between two cities weekly. The Honda Shine 100 DX stays very smooth even after hours on the road. The seat is soft and comfortable, and the vibration is minimal. Perfect choice for long-distance comfort. I would recommend this bike to anyone living in small towns or villages. The bike rides well on mixed roads, keeps good balance, and feels strong. It is easy to handle and gives a confident ride even on uneven stretches.

                        Overall good performance
                        The bike is one of the best looking bikes in this segment the power delivery is smooth and very responsive. Good mid range top end does feel a bit under powered , but considering its segment, its good A bit of vibration in the handlebar and foot pegs during highway rides and at high speeds. I have been on this bike on 1200 km, ride 600km on highway straight, good performance and mileage just a bit of heating issues from the engine. If you are looking for powerful bike with good looks and decent features its the perfect one for you. In this segments ABS is good tech loaded. But yes does feel missing out on key features like turn by turn navigation a colored display and now Cruise Control for sure.
