Honda has refreshed one of India’s most trusted commuter motorcycles with the launch of the 2025 Honda Shine 125. Known for its reliability and practicality, the Shine 125 has always been a favorite among daily riders. The latest version brings modern styling, digital upgrades, and better ride comfort, making it more appealing to today’s urban commuters.
Modern Design with a Premium Feel
The Honda Shine 125 2025 retains its signature commuter-friendly stance but with a touch of sophistication. The new sleek decals and LED indicators add to its premium appeal, while the bike’s overall proportions ensure a commanding road presence. Honda has also introduced six vibrant color options — Pearl Igneous Black, Geny Gray Metallic, Matte Axis Gray Metallic, Rebel Red Metallic, Decent Blue Metallic, and Pearl Siren Blue — allowing riders to choose a shade that matches their personality.
The newly designed wider rear tyre (90mm) not only enhances the bike’s sporty appearance but also improves stability and grip, ensuring safer and smoother handling on city roads.
Digital Display and Useful Features
In terms of convenience, Honda has finally embraced modern technology. The fully digital instrument cluster now displays real-time mileage, gear position, distance to empty, service reminders, and an Eco indicator. These additions make everyday commuting more informative and hassle-free.
The Shine 125 also features a USB Type-C charging port, ensuring riders can keep their devices powered during rides. This small yet practical upgrade enhances its suitability for modern city life.
Refined Engine and Smooth Ride Quality
Powering the new Shine 125 is a 123.94cc air-cooled, single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine that produces 10.63 bhp and 11 Nm of torque. Mated to a 5-speed gearbox, this setup ensures a refined performance with excellent fuel efficiency — a hallmark of Honda engineering.
The engine is OBD2B compliant, making it more environmentally friendly and ready for future emission standards. The smooth throttle response, minimal vibrations, and refined sound make the 2025 Shine a pleasure to ride in stop-and-go city traffic or on longer commutes.
