Hi all,
I am writing my second review about honda shine, which I am using for more than 6 months now.
After 3rd free service its showing 61-62 kmpl reliance petrol (on road conditions, I m from bhubaneswar where traffic is not a big issue) with decent pickup and good engine quality.
The best part of shine is its engine which is very smooth.
Second best thing is its comfort, I have driven 170 kms at a stretch with 15 mins break but still I feel comfortable to ride it.
The bike is good in terms of low end torque i.e. I can easily drive in 20s or even just below 20 remaining in 4th gear without using clutch which is good in a city ride condition.
Its pickup is good and looks are ok for me (many will disagree!).
But in other way, u hav to pay for each and every accessory which I think honda can avoid to.
And the body material I believe is not as good as other bikes.
Another big concern is shock absorbers of back side which is not as good as other bikes.
I feel the need to change them with that of better quality.
And dear readers this is a good bike in city conditions not in highways coz there is no such great improvement in mileage even in highways.
Finally, if u want to hav a bike for city condition then go for honda shine with self start (its available now) with better mileage and good low end torque and comfort.
plz. giv ur valuable comments....
thanks :)
