Positioned in Honda's allround motorcycle lineup, the 2025 Honda Shine pairs a 124.7 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10.1 HP (7.4 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10.5 Nm (7.8 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 81 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 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 120 kg (265 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (11.88 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 1,266 mm (49.8 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.
