The Honda Shine is a consistent performer in the 125cc motorcycle segment in India. In fact, it is Honda’s second largest selling model in India, only behind the Activa. Recently, Honda’s strong-selling motorcycle has added another feather to its cap.

Honda CB Shine is the only 125cc motorcycle brand to be in the Top 4 selling motorcycles of the country.

The Shine offers a unique Combi Braking System (CBS), which is a segment-first. It is available in variants, namely Self-Disc-Alloy, Kick-Drum-Spoke and Self-Drum-Alloy. The current Shine, christened the Shine SP, has features such as a revised fuel tank, side panels and attractive stickers to name a few.

It comes powered by a single-cylinder, oil-cooled, 124.7cc engine. This engine offers 10.54 bhp of power along with 11 Nm of torque. It comes mated to a 4-speed gearbox.

In the 125cc segment, the shine SP rivals the likes of the Hero Glamour, Bajaj Discover and the Yamaha Saluto. Honda sold as many as 9 lakh units of the shine in the last fiscal, resulting in a growth of 13% from the year before. With the growing sales numbers in mind, we can say that the shine has made Honda a responsive player in the motorcycle segment over the years.
