VFM bike..
Good bike with smooth engine and classic design and the trust of japanese company honda gives you the confidence to purchase it for day to day commute and also if you are looking for a bike as a commuter with classy looks and good mileage and minimal maintenance and lifelong riding then none of the bikes comes even equal to the shine 125.

Over all good bike under budget
Bought this bike three years back. Honda is trustable bike manufacturer company. Good bike for local travel. Rear and front tyre width should be more for grip and control. Seat can be made more comfortable that can be good for long drive.Horn gives high frequency horn which is fitted by manufacturer Noiseless engine during riding.

it's fine and a nice bike at this range
It was over all a good bike at the cost of 70000 range. Maintenance cost is very less. I think it is one of the most cost effective bike in this range. I was little unsatisfied with the pick up, but that is something which is not very important. Safety, like torque and wheel balance is excellent. Over all paisa vasool.

Over all ok economical as per price
Good for mileage less maintainece but lacks power and cold kick start problems a lot TVS Star City Plus does a decent job for daily commutes, but it does fall short on power, which can be a letdown. Also, starting it can be tough—self-start is unreliable at times, and the kick start, especially on cold mornings, can test your patience. Definitely something to keep in mind if you're considering it
