Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2011 Honda CB Shine, a motorcycle that has carved its niche in the all-rounder segment of the Indian market. Renowned for its reliability and performance, the CB Shine is designed for both daily commuters and weekend riders alike. Its sleek aesthetics and robust engineering make it a top choice for those seeking a blend of efficiency and style. With a reputation for durability, this motorcycle is perfect for navigating busy city streets, while also offering the versatility to tackle longer journeys with ease. At the heart of the CB Shine lies a spirited 124.70 cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that churns out a respectable 10.30 horsepower at 7500 RPM. The engine's design is centered around efficiency, utilizing a CV carburettor for optimal fuel delivery. This allows the bike to achieve an impressive fuel consumption rate of 1.54 liters per 100 kilometers, translating to an astonishing 64.9 km/l or 152.74 mpg. The 4-speed gearbox ensures smooth power delivery, making it easy to zip through traffic or cruise on open roads, all while basking in the joy of riding. The CB Shine boasts a solid diamond frame that not only enhances its stability but also contributes to its agile handling. The front suspension features a telescopic fork that absorbs bumps with ease, while the rear is equipped with a hydraulic monoshock that is three-step adjustable, allowing riders to tailor their experience based on preferences or road conditions. Safety is paramount, with a 240 mm front disc brake providing excellent stopping power, complemented by a rear drum brake. With a weight of just 121 kg, and a ground clearance of 175 mm, the CB Shine is nimble enough for urban environments while still offering a commanding road presence. **
