A new commuter motorcycle has been spotted testing. This bike is believed to be a new a 125cc offering from Honda and could be a replacement for the CB Shine.



The images reveal that bike features a headlamp cowl that resembles that of a Hero Hunk, a front windshield, new side panels, new tail light, clear lens indicators, a single, long seat, a grab rail, 5-spoke black alloy wheels, drum brakes and a full chain cover. The bike has a telescopic fork front suspension and dual shock absorbers at the rear.



While there is no information on the engine specifications, like most new Honda products, this bike's engine is likely to feature Honda Eco Technology (HET).



More details on the motorcycle are awaited.

I don't think Honda would discontinue their very popular Shine for something new, unless it continues to carry the Shine brand name (like they did with the Unicorn). I don't see the point in having two similar looking 125CC bikes in the stable, though.

Going by the Honda's product strategy in recent times, I am sure they will disband the Shine sooner. Activa, Unicorn are 2 examples in this case.
Pics indicate subtle changes though. A unicorn inspired cowl, new alloys and HET to name a few. They could have introduced a Monoshock as a segment first - like they did in Unicorn.
