TIME TO SHINE

After nearly a decade of independent existence in India, Honda has finally launched a 100cc motorcycle in the form of the Shine 100. We take it for a ride to see how it performs

- 

Honda in association with Hero was responsible for the decimation of the two-stroke motorcycles. The then Hero Honda CD 100 was the original ‘Fill it, shut it, forget it’ motorcycle and offered everything which Indians wanted back in the day. After the split with Hero, Honda never came back with a 100cc motorcycle while Hero MotoCorp continued selling the 100cc commuters. Now after a decade of independent existence, Honda has deemed it important to launch a 100cc bike. Enter the Honda Shine 100.
