The Honda Shine 125 may be India’s second best-selling bike overall, but more importantly, it is the best-selling 125cc bike. It may look conventional, but the fit and finish, along with the colour schemes are premium. More importantly, it comes with the trademark Japanese refinement engineering, making it a favourite bike for those who want a slightly more powerful bike than a 110cc motorcycle but without compromising on mileage.
Honda sold an impressive 1,35,076 units of this commuter bike in January 2026. This shows an increment of 7.26% in terms of the MoM sales, while the YoY sales were down by 10%. That said, the Limited Edition Shine 125 launch in February should help in bringing the numbers up for that month.
Here is how the Honda Shine 125 competes with the feature loaded TVS Raider 125 in a detailed comparison.
