There are a lot of things about the refreshed Honda CB Shine->ke2813 that just, well, shine. In an effort to make the bike more interesting to the Indian market, Honda decided to give the CB Shine a number of new color choices, including Monsoon Grey Metallic and Force Silver Metallic. On top of that, Honda->ke291 decided to fit the bike with tubeless tires that complement the six-black crossed wheels.
More than just handling and aesthetics, the CB Shine also comes with a 125 cc engine that produces 10.12 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and 10.54 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. The engine is then complemented by a four-speed transmission with a multiple clutch, providing the kind of technical efficiency that has made it a popular model in India.
It's not the kind of powerful bike that will own the road, but it's lack of menacing stance isn't considered a hindrance. Rather, the Honda CB Shine's all-around versatility is the perfect answer for the traffic congested roads of India.
