Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has introduced the new Shine 125, OBD-2B emission norm compliant, with a whole host of new specifications.
The 2025 Honda Shine 125 is priced at ₹84,493 for the drum brake model and ₹89,245 for the disc brake model (both ex-showroom, Delhi).
The motorcycle gets a new engine for complying with future stricter emission norms and an all-digital instrument cluster, as in Honda's other volume motorcycles.
Although the Shine 125 carries its distinctive styling and design, it now includes improved color schemes for an additional contemporary appearance. Riders have six color options: Pearl Igneous Black, Geny Gray Metallic, Matte Axis Gray Metallic, Rebel Red Metallic, Decent Blue Metallic, and Pearl Siren Blue.
Aesthetics and performance are improved by the bike now having a 90 mm wider rear tyre, which adds to the road stability. The new digital instrument console features essential information including real-time fuel economy, distance-to-empty, service reminders, gear position, and an Eco indicator. It also has a USB Type-C charging port for smartphones and an idle start/stop system to enhance fuel efficiency.
The engine of the Shine 125 is a 123.94 cc single-cylinder, fuel-injected, air-cooled engine that complies with OBD-2B standards. The power outputs are the same, producing 10.6 bhp at 7,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 11 Nm at 6,000 rpm, and has a 5-speed transmission. The motorcycle comes with telescopic front forks and dual shock absorbers in the rear. Braking duties are handled by drum brakes at both ends for the base model and the top of the range with a front disc brake for better stopping.
Being a market leader in the 125 cc category, Honda Shine 125 commands healthy demand in the market and has competition from other competitors like Hero Glamour 125, Bajaj Pulsar 125, and Hero Super Splendor.
