Is Honda Shine 100 best Japanese model?

Honda has introduced the Honda Shine 100, a new model, to the nation's 100-cc commuter motorbike market. The Japanese company has chosen to stick with the Shine moniker for its most recent model, capitalising on the Shine 125's early popularity. Honda believes the Shine 100 can successfully target the same target group, even though the Hero Splendour has long dominated the 100cc bike market.

Design

The Honda Shine 100's design is influenced by that of its more senior sibling, the Shine 125, as they both have comparable design features. Adopting a commuter-friendly aesthetic, the bike boasts straightforward and uncomplicated body panels that prioritise usability and functionality. 

The headlight cowl and the slim fuel tank work well together to create a beautiful appearance. The side panels have a sporting appeal that adds a bit of dynamism to the overall aspect of the bike, while the tail portion keeps its basic form.
