Honda CB Shine is the highest selling 125cc bike in India and it has registered the highest ever sales number with 108,790 units in August 2018, compared to 94,748 units in same month last year.

This happened when the industry remained flat with 945,633 units sales in April to August 2018 period. The CB Shine and CB Shine SP both contributed largely to this success of the Japanese brand.
Speaking about this success, Mr. Yadvinder Singh Guleria, the senior vice president of sales and marketing, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. said, achieving this record ahead of festive season gives the brand high confidence to further consolidate its leadership in the 125cc segment. Premium styling, higher comfort, trusted performance have played important role behind the CB Shine’s success.
