When one talks about 125cc motorcycles, the first name that comes to everyone’s mind is probably the Honda CB Shine. The new Honda CB Shine SP is propelled by a 125cc air-cooled, single-cylinder motor rated to produce 10.6PS at 7, 500rpm and 10.3Nm at 5, 500rpm. Mechanically the engine remains unchanged except for the addition of the aforementioned new 5-speed gearbox. Start the engine and the motor purrs to an idle in typical Honda fashion. Acceleration of the motorcycle is impressive for its size and the Honda CB Shine SP keeps on chugging till the 80kmph mark post which there is a drop in performance which is understandable. The extra gear is extremely useful on the highways and one can cruise the motorcycle around 80kmph without much effort and the engine doesn’t feel as stressed as it is on the standard motorcycle at higher speeds.
