Honda Shine

I just thought of giving a review about my Honda Shine. I have been using it from past one week. I bought it from Haiku Honda, bangalore. I was pretty much worried about the following before buying this bike :-

1. Low Millege.

   
   




2. Instability bcoz of narrow rear tyre.

   
   




3. Starting problem in the mornings.

   
   

These were some of the problem which I came to know from the reviews of many users. So I was praying to god that it should atleast give 50kmph millege :) . But to be very honest my shine surprised me by giving 62kmph millege (first service is still pending... so it may increase after first service :) ). I kept the speed in economy range i.e <50kmph and used clutch and gear shifting minimally, that may be the reason for this milleage.

I never felt a unbalancing issues while driving. The engine sound is very sweet and low. For the first day I faced a cold start problem and used choke. But after that it started without choke even in mornings. Only problem i’m facing now is stiffness in gears and i’m pretty confident that it will get resolved after first service. SO here are the main points from my review :-

(plus points)

1. Good millege if used properly.

   
   




2. No starting problems, 125cc engine, Good pickup.

   
   




3. Sweet low engine noise.

   
   




4. No Backache problems.

   
   

(minus points)

1. Not proving Basic accessories with the bike.

   
   




2. Small vibration.

   
   

So I am fully satisfied with this bike and will recommend this to all.

Cheers
