Good: Head Light styling
Bad: Overall it's a Big flop Bike
Full Review
Style I had purchased this Bike because it is carrying HONDA badge. The styling is Good. That's made me to commit blunder by purchase the useless bike. Head light styling is excellent. from back side it looks OK.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This is where my expectations gone wrong. My first mistake was, I had taken test drive in busy trafic route where I couldn't cross even 30Km/ Hr speed. Fuel economy 30-35 km/ Litre in city & 40-45 In highways. Engine is smooth till 40Km/hr speed. there after engine gives lot of vibrations. I was told by service personnel that, since the engine is new one some vibrations are natural. But engine vibrations becoming more and more from 2000 Km to 5000Km.
Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good up to 30km/hr speed. after that, I never dared to increase speed keeping in mind the engine vibrations. Braking is very bad. This bike is not having sufficient road grip. It simply skids.
Final Words My suggestions to any Honda Motor cycle buyers is that, do rigorous testing before buying any bike. as I had lost my money because not aware about that, SHINE bike will give lot of vibrations when it crosses 50Km mark speed.
I could finally get ride-off SHINE Bike at the cost of selling it at half of the purchasing cost within one Year.
Areas of improvement This Bike needs Complete Re-design & re-engineering from Top to Bottom unless withdrawn.
