Engine and Power

Powering the 2023 Honda Shine 125 is a BSVI OBD2 compliant 125 cc PGM-FI engine equipped with Enhanced Smart Power (ESP) technology. It delivers 10.54 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 11 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. The engine is paired with a 5-speed gearbox and features Friction Reduction technology, which includes a piston cooling jet to minimize temperature and friction.

The Shine 125 employs a diamond-type frame and is equipped with telescopic forks at the front and hydraulic-type rear shock absorbers with 5-step adjustability. It rides on 18-inch alloy wheels fitted with 80/100 tubeless tires.

Braking duties are handled by either a 240 mm disc or a 130 mm drum at the front, along with a 130 mm drum at the rear. Additional features include a Combi-braking system, side-stand cut-off, halogen headlamp, engine kill switch, sealed chain, and an analogue speedometer with a fuel gauge.

With a ground clearance of 162 mm and a wheelbase of 1,285 mm, the Honda Shine 125 offers a balanced ride. The single-piece seat is spacious, measuring 651 mm, and the seat height is set at 791 mm, ensuring accessibility for most riders. Overall, the 2023 Honda Shine 125 presents itself as an updated and feature-packed offering in the 125 cc motorcycle segment.
