Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India has launched the updated Shine 125 for the Indian market. The bike is offered in two variants: Drum and Disc. The Drum variant is priced at Rs 84,493 and Disc variant at Rs 89,245 (all prices ex-showroom, Delhi). The bike is now offered in six new colour schemes: Pearl Igneous Black, Geny Gray Metallic, Matte Axis Gray Metallic, Rebel Red Metallic, Decent Blue Metallic and Pearl Siren Blue.
Design:
The Honda Shine 125 gets a very typical commuter design with a hint of sportiness to it. The bike gets stylish graphical elements that run across the body panels from the tank to the tail section, giving it a very sleek look. It also gets chrome accents at the front headlight cowl and on the exhaust cover at the rear. The bike gets a long single-piece seat with a body-coloured grab rail at the end.
Engine:
The new Honda Shine 125 is now powered by a 123.94cc single-cylinder, air-cooled, OBD-2B compliant engine producing 10.63PS of peak power and 11Nm of peak torque and is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The bike also gets Honda’s idle start-stop system that switches off the bike when not in motion and starts it again at the twist of the throttle, thereby improving fuel economy too. It also gets an ACG (Alternating Current Generator) starter for silent ignition.
Underpinnings:
The Shine 125 gets a telescopic fork and twin-shock absorbers with 5-step preload adjustability. The bike sits on 18-inch alloys on both ends with an 80-section tubeless tyre at the front and a new and wider 90-section tubeless tyre at the rear for increased stability. It gets a 240mm front disc in the disc variant and a 130mm front drum brake in the drum variant. The bike has a 130mm rear drum brake on both variants with CBS (Combined Braking system) for an increased safety quotient.
Features:
The bike now gets a fully digital instrument console showing readouts of speedometer, odometer, tripmeter, fuel gauge, gear position indicator, real-time fuel economy, distance to empty and power mode indicator. Along with these, the bike also gets a side-stand engine cut-off feature and a UBS type-C charging port.
Rivals:
The Honda Shine 125 will rival the bikes like Hero Super Splendor, Hero Glamour and Bajaj Pulsar 125.
BikeDekho Says
The Honda Shine 125 has always been one of the best selling 125cc commuter motorcycles. The Shine 125 was always known to be reliable, smooth and refined but lagged behind when it came to modern features compared to the likes of the Hero Glamour Xtec and the Hero Super Splendor. With the addition of these features, it has become more appealing to the current 125cc commuter segment and also its potential buyers.
Honda Shine User Reviews
- My Experience with honda shineIt 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.Read More2 2

- Easy to drive and comfortShine 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. The engine felt smooth, and the handling seemed perfect for my daily routes. It looked like a simple, dependable option for regular commuting.Read More1
- Best bike Honda shineBecause of its refined engine mileage performance and the colour and Honda's reliable engine. My friend bought a glamour after me and his bikes leaks oil even when he changes its gas kit and mine is still new as before but e20 has caused some problems but still Honda is Honda. I have ride about 1lakh km in last 7years and engine still goes at top speed of 110 and it stable at 90plus speeds and my friends glamour struggles to even touch 100 and thats Honda's performance after lakh km. Yes I would recommend this bike for mature riders and middle age riders who wants minimal looks and and performance and mileage over, 4.5/5 probably. Honda is best for 125cc category in India, the main thing is that I would suggest this bike and you would not have to change timing chain and gas kit every 5-month.Read More
