About Honda CB Shine BS4
After the success of the Unicorn in the 150cc segment, Honda wanted to capture the smaller capacity markets. While Hero dominated the 100cc space, Honda decided to tackle the slightly larger 125cc segment with the launch of the CB Shine. The Shine’s reliable engine coupled with its frugality and butter-smooth refinement made it the most sought-after motorcycle in the 125cc category. So much so that even till date, the Shine is Honda’s best-selling motorcycle in the country! It also commands the majority market share in the 125cc segment. The Shine primarily competes with the Bajaj Discover 125, Yamaha Saluto and Hero Glamour in the Indian market.
In 2015, Honda launched a sportier version of the CB Shine in the form of CB Shine SP. This was sportier not only in terms of design but also packed a 5-speed transmission.
Honda CB Shine BS4 Overview
Honda has launched the BS6-compliant Shine in India for a starting price of Rs. 67, 857 (ex-showroom Delhi). That's a premium of Rs 7,867 over the BS4 drum variant. It's available in four colours: Black, Geny Grey Metallic, Rebel Red Metallic & Athletic Blue Metallic.
Powering the Shine is a new BS6-compliant 125cc motor, which is claimed to be 14 per cent more fuel-efficient than the BS4 model. It also features a 5-speed transmission (earlier 4-speed), which should help it extract more efficiency. While Honda hasn't revealed any specifications, we believe power figures to be around the same as the outgoing model -- 10.3PS and 10.30Nm.
The Shine now comes with an ACG starter, a start/stop switch, new DC headlamp, tail light, and a revised instrument console design. Other notable changes come with new graphics and chrome highlights on the headlamp visor and side panels. The seat is 27mm longer than before.
Not only this, but the Shine's wheelbase has been extended by 19mm (1285mm) and its ground clearance increased by 5mm. It retains the same suspension and braking setup as before.
Honda is offering six years (three years standard + three years optional) of extended warranty on BS6 Shine. The bike goes toe-to-toe against the Hero Super Splendor and Bajaj Discover 125.
