Honda Shine is a 125 CC bike. I did a test drive of Bajaj Discover 125 DTSi and Honda Shine. Honda Shine felt better in terms of ride comfort, handling, engine smoothness and gear shift comfort.



But by test riding one cannot judge the mileage. But what I hear from most of the people is Bajaj Discover mileage is better. But still many of my close friends who use Bajaj Discover complaint that the mileage reduces after a few months. I checked with the Bajaj dealer and he accepts the same but not in a straight forward way.



Bajaj's engine and transmission (gear box) were never reliable, on comparison with HH, Honda or TVS. Besides this the success rate of Bajaj Discover is very less - means if 100 bikes are sold most of the customers come back with problems. If you are a fan of Bajaj like many others, better go for Pulsar. To my knowledge that is the only bike that is good from Bajaj. If you believe in quality and durability better go for TVS or Honda bikes. HH is good but too pricey. For e.g., Splendor+ does not have any of the good features provided by other companies, but still it's cost is very high on comparing other 100cc bikes. Glamour FI is not worth the extra money you need to shell for FI.

You can read reports of Honda Shine and other bikes in indiabike.com, overdrive website etc.



Technically speaking Honda Shine engine has very good low end torque, which means you shall drive at speeds as low as 20 kmph on the 4th gear. This implies you need not gear shift often in heavy traffic. Shine also has good high end torque and hence th pick up is also very good (6 secs to 60 kmph).



Hence I would suggest that you shall go ahead and buy a Honda Shine.

It's good bike.



But you should also think about Bajaj Discover 125CC, Hero Honda Glamour, Bajaj Pulser 150 CC & TVS Apache also.



I think Bajaj Dscouver 125 is the Best.



Have a Test Ride at Show Rooms.



It will not Cost.

I dun think it is a gud idea to buy a Honda Shine...I wud prefer Discover or Glamour FI rather than a shine as it does not have a gud re-sale value and it is not much economical.It wud be better if you wud go and take a test ride which will allow you to judje the capacity of the bike or else you cud opt for any 150cc bike...

I tried my friends Shine. The gear shift was not smooth. I wondered if it was really from Honda. Also, it looks ugly. Test drive Yamaha Gladiator and Bajaj Discover also. Then decide between the two.

Nice bike, 125 cc . Good reliability, accelration. Below par average. Also check out the Super splendour/Glamour, Yamaha Gladiator.

Good product but does not sell well. May get discontinued.



So better to go for a similar product from Bajaj or Hero Honda Stable.

Dear Friend



Shine is a 125CC segment bike, which is not suitable for Indian road. In 125CC the Bajaj Discover DTSi is best option. I am using it. I love it, good performance, mileage wise, maintinance wise. Even looking wise.

you could wait,in the adventure that your share get down under the fifty two weeks low then i.e. 29.60 then you definately ought to sell 50 % of shares then u can look ahead to the long term once you're a protracted term investor by way of fact the fifty two week of this share is incredibly extreme this is 89.00.OR u can wait with all shares till the share will upward push up.

No way.....buy a discover if u want power, it gives an average of 60(i'm an owner) and victor GLX if u want reliability.

Ya its a good bike, good power, but not good mileage. and there are many better bikes than Shine. So it is not a bad option but you have better ones also..
