Honda Shine 100 Walkaround Review| Small engine, big dreams! |...

After updating the Unicorn last week, Honda has updated yet another of its extremely popular commuters, the Shine 125.
Honda has priced the drum brake variant at Rs 79,800 and the disc brake one at Rs 83,800 (both ex-showroom Delhi). That means both trims charge a tiny Rs 1,113 more than before. The Shine 125 then goes up against the likes of the Hero Super Splendor and the Bajaj CT125X.
As you might’ve guessed with Honda, there’s nothing new apart from an OBD 2-compliant engine making 10.74PS and 11Nm, both the same as before. It’s on sale in five colour options, of which the black colourway looks the most attractive one.
What Honda is offering alongside the bike though, is a new 10-year warranty package of which three years will be the standard warranty and the remaining seven years are the optional extendable ones.
EVERYTHING apart from that has been unchanged on the Shine. Be its elegant design, twin-pod analogue console and underpinnings. Braking is looked after by 240mm disc/130mm drum up front and a 130mm drum unit at the rear. It rolls on 18-inch alloys, which come wrapped in 80-section tubeless tyres. The bike has a seat height of 791mm, with 162mm of ground clearance and it weighs 114kg (kerb).
While we’re happy that Honda has demanded a very minor price hike, we wish the bike would’ve gotten at least some cosmetic updates, if not mechanical or hardware ones. Yes we know how important pricing is in this segment but some new graphics or some sporty colour schemes wouldn’t have harmed anyone.
