Hello folks, i bought this bike keeping daily commute in my mind. However i never excepted this bike to perform so well for all these years, it's been 12 years now & i still enjoy riding this bike.Apart from my daily ride, occasionally i have taken the bike to do some touring as well.It has never disappointed me. Making multiple tours to ooty and nearby places in bangalore. Yes, of course, lighter on the pocket side in terms of bike maintenance.Truly this bike has been like a part of my family. Never disappointed me whether i am with my family or friends. Except for bike puncture on a few occasions never had bike breakdown issues whatsoever. when riding even today, i feel as if i am riding this bike for the very first time. I am in love with honda shine. Thank you, honda, for making this kind of bikes.
