It has to be noted that the Honda CB Shine is obviously not a new model and it looks like a strategy by the Honda India to just rename all its bikes as Honda CB versions.
As the prices have gone high, Honda aspires to position itself as premium bike brand in the big Indian market. Although bike lovers come to an agreement that the features Honda offer are hardly any worthy as what is called premium as compared to what is offered by its adversaries.
With that being said what are new reasons for more shine on the new Honda CB Shine?
New 3D Honda Emblem on the fuel tank
New graphics
Handle bar weights
New viscous air filter
Maintenance-free battery
The new Honda CB Shine will now be compliant with the latest emission norms that came to effect from April 01, 2010.
Design and looks of the new Honda CB Shine
The fuel tank comes with supporting knew recess and neatly chiseled. The cap is retained as in the old, chrome and the new 3D Honda wing emblem on the fuel tank gives that edge coupled with the graphics that add to the elegance.
The new handle bar weights will add to the stability during a ride and gives extra control to the rider. The mirrors are tweaked to a trendier shape and the body-colored grab rail adds to the sheen while riding.
The Ergo-tec design is developed on the basis of human engineering to offer less fatigue and more comfortable seating and ride position for rider as well as pillion. The diamond-framed light weight design offers even distribution of weight on the bike and so there is extra stability and control.
Engine of the new Honda CB Shine
There is nothing new as to the power plant of the new Honda Shine. It runs on a 125cc 'Optimax' engine generating a power of 10.3 BHP. The Optimax Engine comes with tall gearing which is better than the previous version. The Honda claims that the Optimax is capable of generating maximum torque at low rpm, implying better pickup and mileage. As to the new Optimax engine, it is actually a 4-stroke, air-cooled and single-cylinder engine - nothing but scaled down variant of Unicorn engine. The engine takes off the bike from 0-60 km speed in 5.3 seconds.
The new viscous filter will enable to cut on the maintenance costs and Honda promises leakage-free and maintenance-free battery.
The rear tyre comes with patented tuff-up tube which is more puncture resistant. Additionally there is an option of front disc brakes which is more responsive than the conventional drum brakes. It also comes with self start option for convenient city ride.

Last word about Honda CB Shine
With all being said, there is nothing so attractively new in the Honda CB Shine and Honda lovers will surely be disappointed with the CB Shine. It is a fake launch by Honda to re-impress the CB on all its brands; looks like.

Being 125 CC bike, it seems it should give good mileage.
Can any one tell me the mileage of this bike.
If u r looking for biking in the city, there is no bike like this in 125cc segment.. More Power, More Mileage, Low Maintenance and decent looks ... u can ride it for the next five years....
If u want to bike for racing then go for any other bike above 150cc.....
so stop comparing and go for Honda Shine ...

I bought honda shine 15 days ago. Bike is running smooth. I would like to give few suggestions. At my home town i purchased shine 3 years. I drove it for 300 km and took only one break. The drive was very smooth. No noise in chain after so long drive.
Advice: Dont use self start first thing in the morning or after 2,3 hours. It will spoil your battery very soon.
Keep changing engine oil before 2000 km. One more thing try to use one petrol (not switching to xtra premium, speed, general petrol). Also dont let bike go in reserve, because petrol at the bottom of the tank may have some dust which may go into you carbeurattor.
Dont accelerate very much after starting any time (any bike if you are using, especially in the morning).
Try to run first few km between 40-50 km and then you can accelerate.
FRIENDS I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM YOU THAT HONDA CB SHINE IS GOOD IN ALL MANNER LIKE LOOKS,MILEAGE,MAINTANCE,RIDING.......BUT SIR IT START VIBRATE WHEN IT GOES SPEED ABOVE 60.
IF THERE IS ANY SOLLUTION FOR THAT PLS SEND .
Pls help which one is better in both of this bikes.
mo no:-9748192957
i am disappointed with shine speed . as speedometer displays top speed of 140 kmpl the bike gets vibrating on above 40 kmpl. and it is hard to ride it on above 70 kmpl .
Now Average of 65+ for 45 kmph speed drive I am getting with mix of bangalore Traffice drive.
One have to use to gear shifting pattern to avoid gear spillage now it is not there. Depends on Driving style and Road conditions some Vibration comes then I recalled the Key Tag genetates the sound. It is at par to that of 100CC bike but you get some Extra power when you want to cut and drive in Narraw Lane that is advantage but you should practice to do that, Since Extra power may create panic to other people in the road and the vehicle is noise free one others donot know whether vehicle is nearing them or not. Be careful when you try to overtake others or use horn if required only.
Problems
1. After reached 40km you will get vibration.
2 . you will not get millage above 40 kmpl.
3. you will get gear problems.
I am facing above problems with my vehicle. i have raised 10 complaints in the show room itself as well as honda company but not yet resolved. they are palming me. As per my advice dont go shine.
cool bike..............
Are you sure that new honda shine will lounch within two weeks with digital digital meter & 5 speed gear box?. Please confirm. I am also looking for same.
thanks & regards,
Ajith

I am Sufiyan i bought cb shine (kick.drum,spoke) on 20/09/10 this bike run nice but i am dispappointed,When the person buy a 50000 rupees bike why company charged additional for accesaries.Like leg gard and engine gard.Thoese accesaries company should give free with bike.
my contact no.9638193909
miter. this information is true. plz reply me
1.The head light (visor) is rested on only two nut-bolts. It is very heavy, since the headlight is attached to it. After a year or so, due to heaviness / or using the bike on rough roads, the visor will break. I have changed the visor twice. This is the design defect. Company should do something on this.
2.Another problem is that battery panel is having screw, which will be rusted & will not be easily removed , if you want to remove for filling the distill water. Suggestion: Company should introduce lock system like splendor.
3. Body graphics looks very goddy. I have seen many imported vehicle. Their graphics look stunning.
