At the heart of the 2023 Honda Shine allround motorcycle, Honda features a 123.9 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10.6 HP (7.7 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11 Nm (8.1 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 85.6 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Shine measures 114 kg (251 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (10.75 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 791 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,285 mm (50.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 10.5-liter (2.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
