The Honda CB Shine is a commuter motorcycle that offers a balance of performance and efficiency at an affordable price. With prices ranging from ₹77,378 to ₹82,878 (ex-showroom), the bike is available in four variants: Drums BS VI, Celebration Edition Drum, Disc BS VI, and Celebration Edition Disc. It comes in a variety of colors including Matte Sangria Red Metallic, Rebel Red Metallic, Decent Blue Metallic, and more, making it an attractive choice for city commuters​.

 

The Honda CB Shine is a well-designed commuter bike with a clean, understated look that emphasizes functionality over aggressive styling. It features alloy wheels and tubeless tires, along with a combined braking system that works on both the front and rear drum brakes. The bike's kerb weight of 115 kg makes it easy to handle in both city traffic and on longer rides​.

Honda CB Shine Design

One of the design highlights is the full-LED lighting, a feature not commonly found in many motorcycles in this segment, which adds a touch of modernity to its otherwise simple design. The bike is built to cater to riders looking for efficiency, comfort, and reliability rather than flashy aesthetics

The Honda CB Shine delivers impressive performance for a 125cc commuter motorcycle. Powered by a 124.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine, it produces 10.16 bhp at 7500 rpm and 10.3 Nm of torque at 5500 rpm. The engine is mated to a 4-speed gearbox, making it ideal for city commuting​.

Honda CB Shine Features

What makes the CB Shine stand out is its ability to provide a balance between performance and mileage. Honda has managed to engineer a bike that delivers the performance of a 150cc model while offering the fuel efficiency typical of a 100cc bike. The CB Shine can achieve a top speed of 100 km/h, making it a reliable option for both urban and short highway rides

The Honda CB Shine offers a comfortable and smooth ride, thanks to its hydraulic telescopic forks at the front and dual hydraulic coil springs at the rear. While the suspension setup remains unchanged from earlier models, it is soft enough to absorb most bumps and potholes, ensuring a stable ride even on rough roads​.

The bike’s handling is also impressive, with responsive front disc and rear drum brakes ensuring good control. Whether you're commuting through city traffic or cruising on open roads, the smooth engine and refined brakes make the Honda CB Shine a capable and reliable ride

The CB Shine excels in terms of comfort, especially for a commuter bike. It features a well-cushioned 791mm seat, offering ample comfort for both the rider and the pillion. The wide seating space ensures a comfortable riding posture, reducing fatigue during long rides​.

Honda has designed the bike with human engineering in mind, ensuring that riders of varying heights can comfortably ride the CB Shine. Its suspension system further enhances comfort by efficiently absorbing road imperfections, making it a great choice for everyday commuting​

Pros

  • That refined 125cc motor balances between decent daily performance and excellent mileage.
  • Thanks to a soft suspension setup, it glides over bumpy roads without much back pain.
  • You get a nice, upright riding posture and a wide seat, great for long daily commutes.
  • Honda’s bulletproof reliability paired with low maintenance costs means total peace of mind.
  • A claimed mileage of 65kmpl keeps your monthly fuel bills low.

Cons

  • The conservative styling looks a little dated now and lacks the sharp, sporty edge of its newer rivals.
  • The overall layout and feel are about as basic as it gets. 
  • It gets the job done in the city but lacks highway performance compared to newer 125cc bikes.
  • The feature list is built to a budget and skips out on any premium, feel-good equipment.
  • This is commuter-focused motorcycle and will not get you excited.

Verdict

The Honda Shine doesn't try to be anything it's not. It has built its massive reputation on mastering the basics that everyday riders care about. Which is, a buttery-smooth engine, pure comfort, great mileage, and an ownership experience that won't break the bank. Instead of chasing flashy tech or aggressive styling, it focuses on delivering a simple, zero-headache ride. This is exactly why it remains a king in the 125cc space.

If you want a dependable daily workhorse that is comfortable, sips fuel, and refuses to break down, the Shine is a no-brainer. But if you’re looking to turn heads, crave modern tech features, or want something with a bit more highway punch, you'll probably want to check out some of the fresher rivals on the market.

  • Stylish and Comfortable but Could Use Better Mileage
    4.0
    Limited Edition(Petrol)
    The exterior design of the CB Shine is stylish, aur bike ka ride quality bhi kaafi achha hai. The fuel tank capacity is sufficient for long trips, and the pillion seat is very comfortable. The CB Shine looks good, and the engine is smooth, but I was expecting better mileage. I’m getting around 50 kmpl, which is decent but not as high as I had hoped.
