City shiner. Review on Honda Shine 125

After having a very large survey of 125 cc bikes I felt that honda shine was the best in comfort which was a top priority for me.So after researching and asking more than enough people I finally purchased 125 honda shine(alloy, disc).I have ridden the bike for a month and this is how  I felt about the bike.

Looks:Shine has a very slick look from the front and it is not to much styled nor is it very simple.It is well suited for a family or a office going man than college students.The whole style statement is in the honda sticker on the tank.

Ride and Handling:Shine is the most smooth 125 cc bike but not as smooth as its bigger brother Unicorn.Ride is really enjoyable till 50 km/hr but after that it starts vibrating and if you increase the throttle to go more than 60 km/hr it really begins to vibrate like hell.It is more suited for city commute than for highways.Handling of this bike is top-notch.One can easily cut through the traffic with this bike.The gear shifting of this bike is as smooth as it can be.It would have been better if a fifth gear was there.

Comfort:The seats and the suspension of  this bike are very good and ensure total comfort even on bad roads.

Others:Fuel consumtion of is bike is also good(about 60 to 70km/hr according to riding habits).The speedometer and the fuel lid of this bike remain the same as the old shine.It would have been better if aircraft type fuel lid and a more exiting speedometer had been introduced on the new bike.Also the road grip would have been improved with thicker rear tires.

Summing it up I would say that this bike is a very good companion in the cities but I would not recommend it to those who are frequently travelling on highways.Overall quality being top-notch the ride could have still been better as it is expected from a company like honda.
