The CB Shine gets some nice graphics that can be seen running all over the fuel tank and a 3D Honda emblem on the fuel tank gives it a distinct style. The motorcycle gets a lightweight advanced diamond frame and is powered by 124cc single cylinder air-cooled Honda Eco Technology( HET) engine. The engine churns out 10.12bhp at 7500 rpm and 10.54Nm at 5500 rpm and is mated to a four speed gearbox.

The CB Shine gets 240mm front disc and 130mm rear drum with Honda’s combined brake system( CBS) . The CB Shine has a kerb weight of 120kg which is pretty decent for a 125cc motorcycle.
