Shine is a name everyone knows. The new 2026 model keeps the legacy alive. It's still the king of 125cc bikes.
The idle is so steady. No erratic sounds. It feels like a high-quality machine. Honda's PGM-FI technology is working well.
It fits into tight parking spots easily. The design is slim but looks mature. Perfect for working professionals.
The front disc brake has a good bite. Along with CBS, the bike stops in a straight line without any skidding. Very safe.
The torque at low speeds is great. You don't need to change gears frequently in traffic. Just roll the throttle and it goes.
The Blue Metallic finish is beautiful. The paint quality is deep and doesn't fade in the sun. It looks new even after 6 months.
162mm clearance is enough for most bad roads. Doesn't hit the bottom even with a heavy pillion. Very practical for India.
The built-in USB port is a lifesaver. I can charge my phone while navigating to new locations. Very handy for modern riders.
The engine doesn't sound strained even at 80 kmph. It's very smooth. The 125cc segment's benchmark for a reason.
I am 6 feet tall and I don't feel cramped. The handle position is upright. Good for long rides without shoulder pain.
Rear shocks are adjustable. I set it to soft and it glides over speed breakers. Very comfortable for my daily 30km commute.
Everything is where it should be. Switches are of good quality. It's a no-nonsense bike for people who value peace of mind.
Very low maintenance cost. Spare parts are available in every corner of the city. Best bike for students and office goers.
This was my first geared bike. Very forgiving engine and light clutch. I learned riding in just 3 days on this Honda Shine.
It's a Honda. You just change the oil and it runs forever. Very high resale value too. It's more of an investment than a purchase.
Handling is very nimble. You can cut through traffic gaps easily. The turning radius is small, making U-turns very simple.
The tank and side panels feel solid. No cheap plastics used. Honda has maintained the build quality even in the newer models.
The "All 5 Up" gear pattern is easy once you get used to it. Shifting is butter smooth. No false neutrals so far in 2000 kms.
My wife loves the back seat. It's wide and the footrest position is perfect. Good ground clearance for high speed breakers.
Even after 1 hour in peak Mumbai traffic, the engine doesn't throw heat on legs. Air cooling works perfectly for Indian summers.
I've been using Shine for years. This new one is even better. Low maintenance and high reliability. Best for middle-class families.
The graphics look sporty and the chrome visor adds a premium touch. It's a bike that looks good parked and feels good riding.
Night riding is now much safer with the new LED headlamp. The throw of light is wide and covers the road well. Good for rural roads.
The ACG starter is like magic. It starts without any "khich-khich" sound. Very silent and elegant. I highly recommend it for city use.
I am 5'4 and I can handle this bike easily in heavy traffic. It's not top-heavy like some other 125cc bikes. Very confident ride.

Beastly Look and Comfortable Ride for Long Drives
The Honda CB Shine 125 Disc runs very well and ensures the rider doesn’t get tired. The mileage is a bit low; if it were around 70 km/l, it would have been excellent. Maintenance costs are low.Read more

Perfect style aur strong performance
I've been using this vehicle for quite some time now, and honestly, my experience has been excellent. The first thing that strikes you is its stylish and premium look. On the road, it attracts a lot of attention and gives off a very modern feel.
The driving experience is also very good. The engine response is excellent, the acceleration is smooth, and it handles easily even in traffic. The stability is good on the highway as well, which makes long drives comfortable. The braking system is reliable, giving you confidence in its safety.
The mileage is also quite good for daily use. I'm getting good fuel efficiency in both city and highway driving. The servicing experience has also been positive. The service center staff is helpful, and the servicing costs are reasonable.
Overall, this car offers a perfect balance of looks, performance, and comfort. If you're looking for a reliable, stylish, and comfortable ride, this is a great option.Read more
