For me purchase of Honda Shine was a good buy at that time (2 years ago)…As I don’t like the looks of Discover and Glamor was no option because of its pathetic 9 bhp power output…Yamaha Gladiator too was an option
then but it was not that luring too…Zeus was then and even now a piece of crap…Scene is much changed now…Discover 135 is a hell of a bike….At 13.1 bhp it nearly matches the performance of older generation Pulsar 150…Gladiator too is in all black paint scheme and alloy wheels now…So if I have to choose a bike now I’ll NOT go for Shine…But at that point of time it was a good buy…Choice was between alloy wheels of Discover and Disc brakes of Shine…And I
preferred the later…Put in your views on this..As far as my satisfaction is considered….Well I like the pickup of this bike which is great even better than Pulsar 150 but only uptil 60 kmph….After that the engine is plain irking…Didn’t expected that from Honda….If you shamelessly go above 60 kmph the fellow roadsters will give you a look that you are drunk and on a killing spree…It gives an impression to the person you just overtook at speed above 60 that you are a reckless driver even though you may be driving a hell lot better than him….If you can overlook this…Go on… On all other aspects this bike is either average or above average…One more thing this is not as fuel efficient as it claim to be…So if you are buying bcoz it is fuel efficient…Don’t be fooled…There are better alternatives

Honda SHINE is the best in its classs.. with a 125cc engine good pickup an dmileage too…my bike gives an average of 63 kmpl and the top speed was 96 kmph…it is being more than 2 years i bought the bike and still the engine is smooth and it makes very low sound that you have raise and see whether the engine is off or not…and every morning just with a second kick the bike starts and sometimes just with a single kick….thanx to honda for such a good quality..

Hi, ive bought a HONDA SHINA bike on AUG-07, Its more than 1yr and still it performs like a new bike. Pickup, Mileage (more than 65kmpl) and Comfort - It gives more than what we expect from anyother bike. About Satisfaction - I feel not only satisfy, but also i feel proud to have a bike like this. If anybody looking for a best bike, please buy this one. I’m sure you’ll feel something unique and best about what you’ve. - Govindaraj.

It’s a good bike. It could have been better if it had a 5th gear. I feel it vibrates when I touch 50. Also, the rear tyre should be wider than what it is now. Otherwise, it’s a good bike, Honda’s famous quality engine, 55-60 kmpl mileage, good comfort while riding (even long drive). I rated 4 star for satisfaction because of aforementioned 2 points, but actually it should be 4.5/5.

Honda Shine - As the name saying it shines in the road when driving it.

Good Pick up , Very good mileage at the initial stage(around 1 to 1.5 yrs) , reliable engine, pleasant look .

Drawback is the back wheel width.Driver has to be very careful while driving.

Over all I will rate Shine to 3.5 out of 5.

honda shine is a good bike with sudden pick up and good mileage(60 kmp /ltr).the only demerit is the bike starts vibrating once it crosses 60.

Hi All,
This is a fantastic bike, I had expected three things from my bike, those are,
1) Comfort
2) Mileage
3) Maintenance Free

All these 3 points are fulfilled by my bike (Honda-Shine).

Initially when i was planning to buy a bike i was confused between Honda Shine, Bajaj Discover and Bajaj XCD. As I was looking for a 125 cc bike.

BAjaj XCD was recently launched, as soon as i saw the bike i decided not to buy it. then my mind was toggling between Shine and Discover. Then Honda is a reliable company and i did not get any negative feedback from any person, so i purchased Honda Shine 14 months back and i am very Happy with my decision.

I am getting about 50Km/Ltr, My driving is not smooth because I drive very rashly so this is a very good mileage for my kind a driving (Shine is giving 60+ for my friends).

I totally recommend anyone to buy Shine.

its a nice bike for city use. good pick up nd all. good torque makes gear shifts in city less almost like ridin a gearless. but on long rides its a totally differnt story. u badly feel the need for a fifth gear. The bike feels strained when goin above 55. eventhough it gows on till 100 pretty fast. the mileage reduces when the bike is driven tn speeds above 55. i get only an avg of around 48 for my daily commute of around 12kms. i guess the stunner is better if u dive on the highways.. overall its one of the good bikes in the 125cc segment.. also the seatin position is perfect u don’t feel tired after a long ride.. no other bike has such a correct seatin position. another problem is the thin rear tire which is prone to skidding under sudden braking. guess tatz all bout the bike

Well this is a cool bike, it has a great pick up but has a poor mileage. It’s top speed goes to 110 Km/hr if engine is properly tuned up.
It’s look is also kuul but it’s maintenance is quite expensive.

i have purhased shine on 5 jan 2007 but at that time i don’t liked it bcoz i wanted have a pulsor 180 or karizma but my father bought it for me n i have to take it bcoz at that time it was last option. at that time i thought at least i have got a bike but when i ride it for 1st time i was amazed it was so smooth n comfortable. this bike is very good 4 city use. it have a good power n pickup in segment of 125cc bikes.
Overall its a good bike

Honda shine is a superb bike with a good engine but the problem is when i cross a speed of 50+ it starts vibrating and the good thing is it can cross 110 km/h at times overall honda shine is a good youthfull bike. and one more thing you can notice in only honda shine is the focus of headlight its ossam i can cover a distance of 12-15 feets from my bike.

this bike is really cool to ride.some tell that the bike starts vibrating when exceeds 50 kmph.but its not really true.its due to the high power engine.surely this bike can have a fifth gear.for me it gives a mileage of 50 per litre.i usually dont ride below 50kmph.the shape of the bike and design is really great.the bike is also very comfortable to ride.the bike can be named as tiger becoz it starts very quietly and crouches in a greater speed.some drawbacks are the bad shape of the side cowl,low width of the back tyre,bad suspension.but its really a cool bike for a smooth road………
