It gives better mileage, low maintenance for people. There is no use of those features like cruise control in bike for commuters. Excellent bike.
I have Honda shine bike. Absolutely a very good bike. Better in performance and better in comfort also.
This is my first bike so take my advice with a grain of salt, previously only experienced my dad's activa the engine is a basic air-cooled 184.4cc single cylinder and it surely behaves like it, I have ridden this bike for a long trip around 260kms total, aswell as doing city+ highway currently for work and would say the seats are pretty rough, My back always hurts after riding, However after spending on gel+foam seat, The seat feels easier, Suspension is1somehow blamed by everyone but it feels pretty stable for my daily 40kmscurrently experiencing drop in1mileage, I used to get 45ish kmpl however its dropped to 38-39 as of now, And it worries me alotthe headlight1is pretty basic, Nothing much there, The handles are somewhat on a sporty side, Not too relaxed not too1comfortable, My hands get numb after riding in city traffic the tyres are nice honestly wide enough and feels grippy the front suspension is usd so its on stable side, Not too softthe engine is happy around 4k to 6k kms,1Below this range, It sort of lugs and over it the feeling is that engine is being stretched overall when riding this bike i feel like am riding an overpowered unicorn 160, There isnt much subtleness in the engine honestly i got this bike for 1.4l as i bought an older batch model, Hence felt like a good deal.
It is best bike. Perfect engine and best in mileage. Value for money. Low price cost of service. Not facing any noise problem. Must buy this bike. Gives mileage around 45+kmpl.
I own this bike for last 1 year, good option for style and mileage. But its suspension is not much good.

A brief history of HMSI (Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India)
The beginnings of Honda can be traced back all the way to the end of World War II, where Soichiro Honda decided to mount a former Imperial Army generator engine to a bicycle to produce affordable and efficient mobility for the masses of war-ravaged Japan. Soon Honda became a manufacturer of bicycle auxiliary engines and in the years that followed, started producing proper world class motorcycles. But it was the 1954 Honda Super Cub that really shot the company to global acclaim. The Super Cub is important even in the Indian context as a motor derived from the Cub became the mainstay of the Japanese company’s joint venture with Hero in India.
Honda of Japan entered India back in 1984 with two main tie-ups. One with Hero to produce small capacity 4-stroke commuter motorcycles such as the Hero Honda CD100, which featured a “sloper” motor derived from the Cub. The other was with Pune-based Kinetic Motors to produce what would be India’s first automatic scooter, the 2-stroke Kinetic Honda DX. But the Japanese bike maker parted ways with Kinetic in 1998 and entered India as Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honda Motor Company, Japan. It was then they launched their own automatic scooter, the 4-stroke Activa, which quickly became the company’s best selling bike and India’s best selling scooter, and remains so till date.
At the same time, HMSI also started making motorcycles, one of the most popular of which was the Honda Unicorn, and later the Honda Shine. It was in 2011 that the joint venture between Hero and Honda ended and both companies went their separate ways. While Hero continued to enjoy record breaking sales with the Splendor (originally a Hero Honda bike), it was the Activa (and also the Shine to a certain extent) that elevated HMSI to the position of 2nd largest 2-wheeler maker in India. In 2020, HMSI also took on the might of the Royal Enfield Classic 350 with their own classic motorcycle, the H’ness CB350.
Today, HMSI offers a range of Indian manufactured 110-125cc scooters, 110-350cc motorcycles and even CKD and CBU big bikes such as the CBR650R Fireblade, Africa Twin and even the mammoth tourer, the Gold Wing.
