| Product Name: | Honda Shine | | Category: | Bikes | | Price: | Rs 42150 |
 Honda Shine brings together the best of all that is sought in a motorcycle into one awe inspiring piece of automotive technology. Equipped with a host of advanced technologies like Multi Mapping CDI, Tumble Flow Combustion Chamber, Long Intake Pipe and Connecting Tube, CV Carburetor, 2 Way Air Jacket and Pulse Exhaust System, the newly developed 125 cc ‘Optimax' engine delivers class leading 10.3 BHP which enables Honda Shine to deliver the best balance of pickup and mileage. Honda obviously feels this is what a majority of the Indian buyers want. The new Honda comes in twin-color codes with a tidy front fairing that harks of bigger bro Unicorn's beak.
Compared to the Unicorn, the Shine has instruments that are boring, though the bike does well for itself with neat switches. A hefty and cleverly chiseled fuel tank comes with well-designed knee recesses and a familiar filler-cap in chrome. Accommodating 11litres of juice, this tank blends into boomerang-shaped side panels that lead backwards into a smooth brake-warning lamp. The Shine's grab rail is straightforward and non-alloy. Lending relief lower down is a shiny chrome silencer heat shield. While the Shine will not immediately offer an electric start option, HMSI has announced this will form part of its package in July.

Additional featuresThe bike's four-stroke, air-cooled and single-cylinder engine has been termed ‘Optimax' by the marketing brains, and is broadly a scaled down version of the Unicorn power plant. Power output is 10.3bhp at 7500rpm, a full bhp lower than its direct competitor—Bajaj's Discover. One can expect the near vertically mounted 124.6cc Shine engine to offer refinement typical of Honda, although we must reserve any further comment till we actually test it. A CV type carburetor performs mixing duties on this bike, and breathes into the cylinder via a purposely long and thin induction manifold—that's for faster air-fuel intake velocity and subsequently better volumetric efficiency.
The bike features multi mapping CDI, tumble flow combustion chamber, long intake pipe and connecting tube, CV carburetor, two-way Air Jacket and pulse exhaust system, the 125 cc engine is termed as an `Optimax' engine and will deliver 10.3 bhp. According to Honda the bike will deliver a mileage figure of 65kpl in city conditions. The `Optimax' engine is essentially a scaled down version of the Unicorn's 150cc motor. Our experience with Honda engines says that this engine should be as smooth and refined as the others are.
The Shine has the better engine overall. The Shine's engine feels more refined, no, more engineered, more fresh and due to its early torque peak, gutsier than the Yamaha. The Shine vibrates more than Yamaha, and it's a noticeable difference. Purely because, the Yamaha does not vibrate AT ALL. Yes, no matter what the revs, the Yamaha is more or less silent and vibe free. It is an achievement, but as you will see, not without its pitfalls.

Good: Comfort , Reliability
Bad: Looks , Milage
For me purchase of Honda Shine was a good buy at that time (10 months ago)...As I don&rsquot 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 ...

Good: 0-60 in 5 secs
Bad: gear ratios
Its really a great "descent" bike that Honda have managed to release. The things first i didnt like was
1. It needed heating up of the engine before taking the bike for the first time otherwise the engine would off.
2. The reflecting mirrors are a little bit outside the original composition of hte bike ( could be dangerous if going close by with another vehicle)
3.The gear ratios are not that good. When you are in the highway, you will feel for the fifth gear
Things i like:
1.Instant ...
