The Honda Shine 100 has been in the making for quite a while, as the company did state its intentions to enter the 100cc segment in February last year. The Hero Splendor and its variants have been ruling the sales charts unrivalled for decades; and with Honda now nailing the price, we hope the Shine 100 has what it takes to become India’s best-selling motorcycle, a dream that the CD110 Dream failed to achieve.
