While the CB125 Hornet is an all-new motorcycle, the Shine 100 DX is a facelift. I shall give you the rundown on both anyway. Also, please note that the information in this story is purely based on the press release Honda has sent to me. The reviews of both motorcycles will follow as and when the media units are available.

HONDA CB125 HORNET

Honda says that the CB125 Hornet is designed for today's urban youth, combining aggressive street-style design with advanced features and thrilling performance.

As expected, in pictures at least, it looks like a sporty motorcycle that will certainly appeal to the target demographic. The fuel tank looks muscular, and that's where the ignition key goes in as well. The lighting setup is an all-LED affair, including dual headlamps with DRLs and high-mounted turn indicators.
