Coming to the heart of the matter, the smooth 125cc 4-stroke engine of the Shine SP is a charm. And with the addition of the fifth gear, it now gets even better. The extra gear makes life so much easier on highways trips as the bike would effortlessly cruise at 80kmph without being stressed. It was only on twisting the throttle further that minor vibrations would start to creep in through the foot-pegs and the handlebars. That said, the bike does have a cold start issue that irons itself out after the engine reaches its operating temperature. The bike has a fuel tank capacity of 10.5 litres which is decent for a commuter class motorcycle. The Shine SP was able to return a fuel efficiency figure of 63kmpl which is also good for a 125cc offering.
With all the mechanicals covered, I must say that the Shine SP is a stylish looking motorcycle. It has a premium feel that is noticeable when standing at the red light with fellow commuters staring at the bike. Overall I am happy with the Honda CB Shine SP and a visit to the service centre is on cards post which maybe a quick dash to Pune or Lonavala to stretch its legs.
Fuel Efficiency: 63kmpl(overall)
Cheers: Looks, Slick gearbox
