                  It has so much pros that we can ignore cons... take testride then decide
                  I owned this this bike for almost 5 years and odometer reading is 81000kms. Pros: 1.Extremely good for daily commute because of its lightweight and Manoeuvrability. 2.Fuel economy is extremely good which is around 60+ kmpl. 3.Does not need much cost to maintain. Just do the regular services and you are good to go. 4.Parts availability is quite good. 5.Also comfortable for long rides upto 100km. cons: 1.Its such parts brakes shoes, racer, chain sprocket, wear out frequently. 2.Rusting started appearing after one year of purchase.

                  My Experience with honda shine
                  It was a decent and nice performing 125cc, and smooth for city and highway rides, nice pick up speed as of a 125ccs, reliability, and also as it was my first bike, that's why I choose this to buy first. Comfort is very nice, I'm thinking it needs a little improvement in braking, but it is good too. As I ride almost 40km daily it's a nice bike, nice acceleration and quick response, no too noisy, just a little vibration issue on high speeds. This is a good bike for beginners, who are learning to ride or even good for job and for people who want comfort and daily travelling, I will not recommend if you want to go high speeds cause braking is not that good and it vibrate at speeds above 60-70km/hr.

                  Easy to drive and comfort
                  Shine is my first motorcycle and it was easy to learn how to ride on it. It is low cc motor cycle so for a beginner it is perfect. There is slight difference in gear compared to a sports or high cc motorcycle but for beginner it is perfect. Handling on the good. Sitting posture good. Riding posture nice. Mileage is good. The ride has been steady and smooth. It moves easily in traffic, stays controlled during turns, and deals with rough patches without shaking too much. Longer rides also feel comfortable, with the engine staying calm and steady. I picked this bike because the seating and control felt just right during the ride.

                  Hello iam Aabid Hassan from Baramulla
                  I chose the bike because it was pocket friendly for me and full filled the criteria that i was looking for further the service stations were easily accessible for me. For the road conditions that i usually ride on its lightweight and smooth handling provided me a comfort which was better then other bikes of the segment. The ride was very good and comforting. I have been to a long ride around 200 kilometres away from my home to Sonmarg where for a long time the road was smooth but after I crossed Srinagar the road became bumpy but thanks to my bike the back pain came no where near which I had earlier experienced on my hero honda cbz. Yes absolutely. This bike is very good easily manageable in tragic which I usually ride in and if the road gets a bit off road it can carry you to your destination easily and safely. It's shockers are very good especially on the roads which are under construction.

                  I wanted a bike for office and home use. TVS Star City Plus looked strong and smart. My cousin has one and said it is very useful. The cost was okay for me. I also liked that it has tubeless tyres and electric start. It looked like a full value for money bike for me. That is why I picked it. So far the ride is smooth. I go to work and return daily without any issue. Even on bad roads the bike does not shake much. I like how soft the seat is. Once I rode for 3 hours without stop and it was still fine. Fuel cost is very low. I clean it weekly and it still looks new. For sure. I already told my neighbour to try this. It is great for simple use. No problem with engine. If you want a bike that gives value and comfort then this is the one. Good for city and even for small long rides. It is not too fast but very reliable. I am happy I chose this bike.
