One of the reasons for Shine shining could be because of the periodic updates it has received. By 2018, every second 125cc motorcycle sold was a Shine.

The latest Shine gets a 125cc PGM-FI HET engine boosted by Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) and meets BS 6 emission norms. Quite obviously then, Honda is elated with its continuing success in the market. "Over the years, Shine has redefined the 125cc segment-leading customers’ expectations with the continuous product & feature enhancement. At Honda, we remain committed to delight our customers with the Joy of riding," said Atsushi Ogata, Managing Director, President and CEO at HMSI.
