Buying experience (or rather lack of it)

We were in need for a no nonsense 125 cc commuter. It should be fill it-shut it-forget it.

It will be strictly used for home-office-home commute. No spirited driving, no long trips.

We were in a dilemma between hero glamour and shine. We visited both the showrooms and they were the same. Leave alone the test ride, they did not offer us a printed price list. All they gave us a brochure and written a final on road price on it.

*scam alert* the calculated road tax + rto charges was more than 2000 than actual. When asked for clarification for it. They told the money is to grease the hands of officials of rto for quick inspection and registration (this is what they told us.)

We finalized for shine as both the bikes are same in nearly all aspects. I always liked the exhaust of honda engines that purrs like a cat.

we paid the amount in cash and told we will get the permanent registration all by our self.

We were taken to the godown where all bikes are stored. He asked us to choose one among it.

I was not happy with the basic accessory kit (seat covers, crash guard, handle grips) but i has no choice but to take it.

They fitted the accessories and filled 100 ml of petrol (i had just paid 70000 rupees but the showroom guys were hesitant to even add extra one drop to their 7 rs of petrol).

They brought the bike outside and handed to us without even dusting.

I was very disappointed with the showroom guys and swore that i will not see them in my life once the free services completes. I was very unhappy to take dusty new bike home.

Honda dealers do not care about one bit about customer experience as long their products like activas fly off the shelves like hot cakes.

Riding experience:

Till the time i took the bike, my father used to ride it. He is a very sedate and a careful rider and it barely clocked 20000 kms in three years. Services are done in right intervals. The bike is in excellent condition barring few scratches on the body while parking in congested areas.

The suspension is very comfortable on our rural non-existent roads. It is little bit stiff than glamour but it ain’t no corner carver. Just handles a little bit better.

The low end torque is very good when compared to its peers. As all its peers are calibrated to big fat mileage figures. This difference in torque will be evident once you ride them back to back. I stalled the engine of glamour at a hump which i used to take comfortably in second gear on cb shine.

Out on an open road the bike pulls cleanly to 60kmph without any drama. But after that the progress is slow and not very confidence inspiring. The buzz starts from its foot pegs first and then the handle bar. I always thought shine should have a fifth gear and then the engine would be running at lesser rpm and there will be no vibration. Honda addressed this concern with cb shine sp edition.

The gear shifts are nice and sure slotting most of the times. The bike’s low beam is ok but the high beam begs for an upgrade. I have upgraded them to osram night breakers.

They tires are 90/90 section mrf tires. They are good on dry surfaces but the front tire tend to slip a lot in wet conditions. When running on these tires please decrease your speed by 10% in wet conditions. I managed to lock up the rear tire once in emergency braking conditions. I had heart in my mouth for a moment. The next day i have changed to ceat tires (softer compound).They are satisfactory.

The last patch to our house is a muddy road and going there in a rainy season is nothing less than off-roading but the bike never stalled in the middle.

looks, performance, maintenance

The bikes looks good in those black alloys but nothing more to write home about. There is no exclusivity factor. They are just too many of them on the road. In a way it is good as the spares availability is good and easy.

The bike is regularly at a neighborhood mechanic who specializes in these commuter bikes. He is just awesome. The bikes is serviced regularly after 2000kms. The bikes runs on elf 10w40 synthetic engine oil. It is just amazing and smooth. You can immediately feel the difference. Mileage will go down by a couple of kms but the smoothness make up for it. Honda recommends 10w30 grade engine oil. But my mechanic says it is not optimum for hot south Indian climate.

The maintenance is very pocket friendly and all the parts are very durable. In this three years of ownership apart from regular consumables like engine oil, clutch plates etc. Only extra things i have changed is

1. Head light bulbs (just upgraded the original ones are working)

2. Battery after three years

3. Rear brake light bulb.

4. Rear tyre (a precautionary upgrade)

Pros:

1. Bullet proof reliability

2. Pocket friendly maintenance and running costs.

3. Smooth torquey 125cc engine

4. Good pillion comfort and comfortable suspension

Cons

1. Cheap switch gear

2. Weak head light and thin tires

3. Horrible after sales and service experiences with dealers

Last words.

I know my bike is not a speed champion or corner carver. But it does everything right for what it is bought for. A humble commuter which never lets me down even at a midnight. I never have second thoughts while going on to a deserted highway in the middle of the night that my bike would stop and never start. All it asks for is fuel and little bit care once in 2000 kms .It never throws up tantrums in rainy weather or muddy roads. I love my bike for what it is and it will be with me for a long time. A gentle man said “motor cycling moves your souls”. It moves mine every time i ride it. I feel happy once i look back at it while walking into my house after parking in the porch.

Tips for Honda Shine

Upgrade the head lighter thicker tyres.

Honda Shine is actually one of the best offerings in 125cc commuter category, as preferred by a majority of people. With CB Shine, Honda has created a perfect balance of performance and mileage offering, the mileage of 100cc and the performance of a 150cc motorcycles
But after the delivery experience is bad.

I have a 2023 model Honda Shine. Shine engine is very smooth for long drive. The Honda Shine stands as a reliable and favoured pick for commuters, boasting exceptional fuel efficiency, a comfortable riding experience, and minimal maintenance costs. servicing and maintenance cost less than 600 in Avery 6 months.Good build quality. The Honda CB Shine has the fit and finish expected of a Japanese bike - flush-fitting body panels and minimal panel gaps. Build quality feels solid and the panels don't rattle even after years of abuse and thousands of kilometres. In terms of finish, the CB Shine feels premium with good quality plastics and switchgear.

I have been using this bike, Honda Shine, for over a year and I can confidently say it's been a reliable and satisfying companion for my daily commutes. really, I had really amazing experience with this bike till now. i will discuss below my full experience regarding this bike.
Buying Experience
The buying process at the nearest Honda showroom was smooth. The staff was helpful, he explained to me all the features and answered all my questions. the dealer cost Rs 81,000 , which was in my budget, for which I thought. The paperwork was hassle-free, and I got my Shine delivered within the promised timeframe.

My initial riding experience is new, great full of enjoyment, great pickup nice engine sound. Overall fully satisfied. But please notice these suggestions -
1. An LED headlight should be provided.

3. Front suspension ok but rear suspension is very hard and needs improvement.

I have been using this bike, Honda Shine, for over a year and I can confidently say it's been a reliable and satisfying companion for my daily commutes. really, I had really amazing experience with this bike till now. i will discuss below my full experience regarding this bike.
Buying Experience
The buying process at the nearest Honda showroom was smooth. The staff was helpful, he explained to me all the features and answered all my questions. the dealer cost Rs 81,000 , which was in my budget, for which I thought. The paperwork was hassle-free, and I got my Shine delivered within the promised timeframe.

Tips for other riders
To maintain your Honda Shine in top condition, here are some tips: 1. Regular Servicing: Follow the manufacturer's recommended service schedule. This typically includes oil changes, air filter cleaning/replacement, spark plug checks, and other routine maintenance tasks. 2. Oil and Filter Changes: Ensure timely oil changes as per the recommended intervals. Also, replace the oil filter whenever changing the oil to maintain engine health and performance. 3. Clean Air Filter: Regularly clean or replace the air filter to ensure proper airflow to the engine, which is essential for optimal performance and fuel efficiency. 4. Check Tire Pressure: Keep an eye on tire pressure and maintain it as per the manufacturer's recommendations. Proper tire pressure ensures safety, handling, and tire longevity. 5. Brake Maintenance: Check the brake pads and discs regularly for wear and tear. Replace them if necessary and ensure the brake fluid level is adequate for proper braking performance. 6. Chain Lubrication: Keep the drive chain properly lubricated and adjusted. A well-lubricated chain ensures smooth power transmission and extends the life of the chain and sprockets. 7. Electrical System: Check the battery, lights, and electrical connections periodically to ensure everything is functioning properly. Clean any corrosion on battery terminals and ensure a secure connection. 8. Cleanliness: Keep your bike clean by washing it regularly.

I had Splendor Plus before the Honda Shine 125cc, which fitness period is passed, and I was in search of for new bike, My mother selected at first look of Honda Shine, It looked really awesome, and Without any thought and with no time waste, I decided to go with Shine 125 cc. My initial riding experience is new, great full of enjoyment, great pickup nice engine sound. Overall fully satisfied. But please notice these suggestions -
1. An LED headlight should be provided.
2. DRL should also given.
3. Front suspension ok but rear suspension is very hard and needs improvement.
I will update the review with my latest experience.

Honda Shine is actually one of the best offerings in 125cc commuter category, as preferred by a majority of people. With CB Shine, Honda has created a perfect balance of performance and mileage offering, the mileage of 100cc and the performance of a 150cc motorcycles
But after the delivery experience is bad.

I have a 2023 model Honda Shine. Shine engine is very smooth for long drive. The Honda Shine stands as a reliable and favoured pick for commuters, boasting exceptional fuel efficiency, a comfortable riding experience, and minimal maintenance costs. servicing and maintenance cost less than 600 in Avery 6 months.Good build quality. The Honda CB Shine has the fit and finish expected of a Japanese bike - flush-fitting body panels and minimal panel gaps. Build quality feels solid and the panels don't rattle even after years of abuse and thousands of kilometres. In terms of finish, the CB Shine feels premium with good quality plastics and switchgear.

I purchased the CB Shine 125cc on 10th January 2014 and I am using it for 10 years, still using it. It has a great mileage after 10 years, it still gives 45-50 KM mileage. It was a great experience to purchase and use it. It has very decent looks, professionals should use it. I will recommend it for it's decent looks.
