Shine - a Perfect balance for city driving

I purchased shine two years back and by now I’ve driven more than 22500Kms.


I have driven this bike well in city, highways and ghat roads.


Pros:


1)Comfortable for city riding & highway riding( I travelled around 700kms in this bike on higways, you dont get tired soon - good ergonomics)


2)Good acceleration even at low speeds, frequent downshifting is not required.


3)Good for dry roads - provides excellent handling & control.


4)extremely smooth in speeds less than 60 kms


5)consistent mileage in bangalore conditions


6)even climbed the ghat roads without much downshifting


cons:


1)handling in wet ghat roads is tough( rear wheel skids) - you need extra care


2)felt uncomfortable while downshifting the gears


3)vibration in higher speeds >70 - 80 kmph


4)I’ve reached max speed of 95kmph. you can maintain 80kmph consistently on highway( which you feel not sufficient - but fine for 125cc segment)


5)Aesthetics & look are pretty simple


Hence this bike perfect balance for mileage & city conditions - I love it
