After renaming Unicorn, HMSI has renamed their 125cc bike Shine to CB Shine as well. This comes in the wake of renaming the whole motorcycle fleet to the ‘CB’ tag. However, similar to Unicorn, Shine is also left untouched majorly with a few changes here and there.
The new CB Shine now gets a viscous air filter and a maintenance free battery along with a slightly revamped sticker job to make the bike look fresh. Engine has been carried over without any alterations. The bike also gets a fresh pair of rear view mirrors which are broader than the earlier ones. Along with these additions, CB Shine now comes with the following features:
- Body Colored grab rail
- Rear Tuff-up Tube
- Acclaimed 125cc engine which produces 10.3 bhp & 11Nm
- Optional front disk brakes
- 3D Wing Emblem on the tank
- Handle bar weights
The new version would be available in 5 colors, Black with red stripes, Black with grey stripes, Vibrant blue metallic, Rebel Red Metallic, Geny Grey Metallic. On road price range from Rs. 49,784 for the Kick-Drum-Spoke version, Rs. 54,272 for the Self-drum-alloy version & Rs. 57.639 for the top of the line Self-Disc-Alloy version (all prices OTR Pune).

Great!! And now, its Shine…
But atleast they’ve done a few touch-up jobs. But I’m sure Shine lovers will not be considering Stunner(is it also going to be renamed?) now, since the CB Shine looks better.
@TerrorBiker
Stunner is already a CBF.
CB shine is aimed at commuters, whereas stunner is for youngsters.
Price difference is just 4-5k..
In that u get, tubeless tyres, better bhps, 5th gear, and obvi better looks (dunno y u say shine looks better than stunner, maybe age differece?)
honda India has become a joke, LOL.
@Pranav
What I meant to say was, Shine now looks better than the old one. And so, now people who go for Stunner for looks alone may be a bit confused.
But, even will all the differences in features between Stunner and Shine, I can observe many young people buying Shine.
Also, some of my friends don’t really approve of Stunner’s looks. (Dono why though, I like it very much)
Old wine in the new bottle
Whats new in this. Usual Honda and its upgrades!!!
Rear tyre size is expected 3.00 x 18 for better stability. 2.75 x 18 tyre doesn’t suit to such a category of 125 cc bike. Otherwise the bike is really good one.
How bout vibrations at high speeds?
plz suggest me a best bike in 125cc segment
Please suggest me a best bike in 125cc. As I am a office commuter, I want to purchase plain and simple bike. I came to know that Honda Shine vibrates over the speed of 60 KMPH on road, if so, which one bike I should purchase Honda Shine or Hero Honda Passion ?

I want to purchase a plain and simple bike of 100cc to 125cc capacity. Which one you suggest Hero Honda Passion Pro or Honda CB Shine? Please suggest a best one, which does not have vibration in the engine even a speed of 80 KMPH due to the reasons that I have just sold out my Hero Honda Passion of 2001 model as the vibration was there in the bike in the speed of 60 KMPH. Please give your best valuable suggestion at the earliest.

The new CB Shine is the best bike in current 125cc segment. Maintenance cost is low, good fuel efficiency (atleast 60+), good pickup. But analogue console should have been replaced with digital as they did in Unicorn.
no problem about shine model but only drawback about new shine is it had to be came with digital speedometer and large rear tyre as compare to other 125cc
I like honda cb shine bike very much. I have sold my old bike and and purchased a new honda cb shine.
suggest the best 125cc bike for me as iam a office comuter.i need plain looks and good mileage(>60).
I had alrdy booked CB Shine
I need an opinion about can it’s speedometre change to digital
Hi floks…
its my own review. I dnt have any personal gredge with Honda company. With lots of expectations I brough this bike waiting nearly 3 months and spending 5 thousand extra.
Was so hapy to get this bike. Was not so happy the min I brought this. Though so it adjusts after 1st server. Situation is same. Wait till 2nd and 3rd now its last service. Still the situation is same. No improvement.
The respose from the guys at service center, they dnt even respond to u properly if we raise any complaint. They dnt find time to reply us. We will not even find any person to raise a complaint to.
Problems:
Lighting is not so good.
Mailage is not up to the mark.
Head light sound.
Bottom of the seat sounds when bike travels over some speed breakers.
Back doam sounds on every small zig zag roads.
If I ask them for the solution, servicing people say that.. U have to check it before u take this bike from the dealer.
At least in the servicing could u plz solve this. Reply is very strange… They wil keep some rubber pads where ever we say sound is irritating. Finally bike looks not like a bike.. its just like a damm worst with all these rubber pads. There is no one who can solve this. If we still force them to solve this. They reply with harsh that… U better get new parts which solves ur problem
Now its up to u…
Sorry if I hurt some one or deviate with my above matter.
Thanks,

I Am Confuse in 125C Segment Bikes
honda cb shine is a excellent bike with good pickup and mileage but the honda showrooms are worst and the guys of that showrooms are blunders i will give 100% marks to the bike but i vil give 0% marks to the showrooms
Hi Guys,
Before you buy new bike by reading blogs or vising some web sites , I would suggest all friend for ‘Test Drive’ either it could honda or bajaj.
Major factor would be,
1. comfort level
2. Average
3. Warrenty (Additional Warrenty)
4. Nearest Service Center
5. Your body weight and height
6. Looks and style
Now a day Hero Honda and Honda offers you additional warrenty by paying 500 – 800.
