Other key features of the 125cc engine include an idling stop system. This helps save fuel by automatically turning off the engine at brief halts such as traffic signals. Shine 125 is equipped with an ACG starter that ensures silent starts. It works by removing the gear meshing noise. With the ACG starter, engine jolt at startup is eliminated.
2025 Honda Shine 125 has a USB Type-C charging port. The analogue instrument cluster has been replaced with a new fully digital instrument cluster. Users can seamlessly access a range of information such as gear position indicator, distance to empty, real-time mileage, Eco indicator and service due indicator. The digital instrument screen has an auto dimming function that ensures clear visibility across both day and night conditions.
New Black colour, wider rear tyre
In terms of its design, 2025 Shine 125 is largely the same as the outgoing model. However, users now have access to a new Black colour scheme. With that, the 2025 Shine 125 is now available with a total of six colour options – Pearl Igneous Black, Geny Gray Metallic, Matte Axis Gray Metallic, Rebel Red Metallic, Decent Blue Metallic and Pearl Siren Blue. Shine 125 is preferred for its elegant profile. Some of the key features include a compact visor, curvy fuel tank design, long and wide seat and sporty graphics.
For a more robust road presence and to enhance stability, Honda has added a wider 90 mm rear tyre to 2025 Shine 125. The outgoing model has an 80 mm rear tyre. Other hardware specs remain unchanged. Both ends have 18-inch wheels and the front gets a 80/100 tubeless tyre. The bike utilizes a diamond frame and has telescopic forks at front and 5-step adjustable rear suspension. Braking setup comprises 240 mm disc at front / 130 mm rear drum for the disc variant. The drum variant has 130 mm front drum brakes. Safety is enhanced with a combi-brake system with equalizer.
2025 Honda Shine 125 pricing

New Honda Cafe Racer Design LeakedActual images of the bike have been used for registration and not sketches, indicating that production could commence soon
For enthusiasts who prefer retro-themed motorcycles, Honda is working on a brand-new cafe racer. Registration images from Japan reveal striking visuals, with a complete view of the bike’s hardware. Honda’s new cafe racer will be slotted in the 300cc segment, where it will rival the established players from brands like Triumph, BMW, KTM and others.
New Honda Retro Cafe Racer
Retro styling is evident with the circular headlamp and bar-end rear-view mirrors. The bike also gets a circular instrument pod, likely to be a digital unit. Retro theme is further enhanced with the use of wire-spoke wheels. These will come in handy when negotiating unpaved pathways.
New Honda Cafe Racer Design Leaked
For practical convenience, it is possible that the spoked wheels could use tubeless tyres instead of conventional tubed type tyres. The lighting setup is expected to be all-LED. With its compact profile, Honda’s new cafe racer is designed to deliver agile performance. The bike has a chiselled fuel tank with sharp bends that enhance its aggressive stance and give it a muscular look.
Knee recesses on the fuel tank ensure enhanced ergonomics, stability and control. These will be useful while cornering and aggressive riding in race-like environments. The bike has a rider-only seat with a scooped central section. Seat height is likely below 800 mm, something that will further improve control and handling.
New Honda Cafe Racer Design Leaked
Other highlights include a retro-styled, minimalistic looking upswept exhaust. It seems to be missing a catalytic converter, which raises questions about the bike’s launch prospects in markets with stricter emission norms. In its current form, the bike may not comply with the latest BS6 and Euro 5+ emission standards. However, the catalytic converter can be added in the production version and it may not be required for registration purposes in Japan.
Engine and specs
Honda’s new cafe racer is likely to derive power from a 300 cc, air cooled, single cylinder engine. It could be the same unit as in use with other Honda bikes such as Honda CB 300 F (Indonesia) or Honda CB 300 F Twister (Brazil). This engine makes 24.5 hp / 25.5 Nm and is mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
New Honda Cafe Racer Design Leaked
Assuming that the new cafe racer is likely to have a lightweight profile, it will have a higher power-to-weight ratio. Talking about hardware, Honda’s new cafe racer has USD forks at front and a monoshock rear suspension. Braking setup comprises disc brakes at both ends, likely around 300 mm at front and 220 mm at the rear. Dual-channel ABS will be offered as standard.
The bike has a backbone frame and two-armed rear swing arm. Kerb weight of the bike is expected to be around 150 kg. Other highlights include low-set, pulled-back handlebars and centrally positioned foot pegs. It is not certain when Honda’s new café racer bike will be launched in India. It will surely be useful here, as Honda is looking to race ahead of Hero MotoCorp in the two-wheeler space. More

Honda Rebel 250As the e-clutch system can be paired with existing powertrains, Honda is likely to introduce this feature with more bikes in the future
Last year, Honda unveiled its innovative e-clutch system. It was initially offered with two models – CBR 650R and CB 650R. The e-clutch significantly improves overall ride dynamics for all users including beginners and advanced riders.
Honda Rebel 250 Automatic
Initially, the e-clutch option with Honda Rebel 250 will be available only in Japan. Honda has developed the e-clutch as a system that can be retrofitted with existing engines. There could be some minimal requirements for installing the e-clutch. But it is likely that it can be paired with several of Honda’s existing engines. As major changes are not required for integrating the e-clutch, Honda is able to offer it as an optional feature.
Honda Rebel 250cc
Honda Rebel 250 Standard edition is available at a starting price of Rs 638,000 yen (approx. Rs 3.56 lakh). The e-clutch variant of Rebel 250 starts at 693,000 yen (Rs 3.87 lakh). That means the e-clutch option will cost users around Rs 30,000 more. That’s a small price to pay for the various benefits that are available with the e-clutch. Clutchless systems have also been developed by other brands such as KTM.
Honda Rebel 250 Automatic – Key benefits
With Honda’s e-clutch setup, users don’t have to worry about engaging the clutch during starting, stopping or shifting gears. Using electronic controls, the system automatically engages and disengages the clutch. However, if users want to manually engage the clutch, they can do that as well. This will benefit users who may be accustomed to using a manual clutch.
Similarly, advanced users who seek a more responsive experience with the bike will also benefit. The option to use or not to use the clutch is something that makes Honda’s e-clutch system truly remarkable. Gear shifts are performed as usual with the foot. Folks choosing the Rebel 250 e-clutch variant will find it much easier to navigate through the busy city streets. Gear shifts will become a lot smoother. Users can focus on riding, instead of going through the hassle of manually operating the clutch.
Honda Rebel 250 is equipped with a 249 cc, water cooled, 4-valve, single cylinder engine. It delivers 26 PS and 22 Nm of torque and is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The power to weight ratio will be slightly lower with the e-clutch variant since it weighs 174 kg in comparison to 171 kg of the standard variant. However, fuel efficiency of 47 km/l is the same for both the standard and e-clutch variants. Honda Rebel 250 has disc brakes at both ends with dual-channel ABS as standard. A low seat height of 690 mm makes the bike really great in terms of optimal control and handling.
Wheels are 16-inch at both ends, wrapped in 130/90 front and 150/80 rear tyres. Suspension setup comprises conventional telescopic forks at front and dual rear shock absorbers. With a ground clearance of 134 mm, the bike is best suited for paved roads.

Honda NPF 125 Scooter Patented In IndiaHonda wants the top-selling two-wheeler title in India and has been working in that direction with new offerings including electric scooters. Multiple new products have also been patented, the latest being Honda NPF 125. But will this launch in India or is it just an IP protection exercise? The answer is unclear at this point. Let’s take a look at some of the key features of Honda NPF 125.
Honda NPF 125 Scooter – Styling and features
While Honda’s bestseller Activa exudes friendly vibes, the NPF 125 utilizes a visually opposite design format. The latter has an aggressive front fascia with dual headlamp setup and muscular body panelling. The design seems to signify the spirit of a warrior that can often be cold and intimidating.
It is apparent that Honda NPF 125 is targeted at folks who want their rides to stand out and have a dominating road presence. Other highlights include projector-style housings for the turn signals, a single piece seat, slightly upswept exhaust and H-shaped tail lights. While the scooter boasts an aggressive design, it also offers plenty of utilitarian features.
For example, the floorboard area is flat and quite long and wide. While offering ample space to rest your feet, the floorboard also comes in handy for carrying everyday items. There’s 14.3 litres of underseat storage, which is large enough for a half-face helmet or other smaller items.

Users can also store items in the front utility pockets such as water bottles, smartphone, etc. Storage can be increased further by adding a top box at the rear. The scooter has a robust grab rail that extends towards the rear, making space for a top box. Such features can make the NPF 125 viable for commercial applications as well. The rider seat section seems quite comfy with its scooped profile.
Honda NPF 125 – Performance, specs
Powering the Honda NPF 125 is a 124-cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that generates 9.51 PS and 10 Nm of torque. Fuel efficiency is rated at around 50 km/l, which is pretty decent. Max speed is rated at 90 km/h. Fuel tank capacity is 5.7 litres, which means a range of around 300 km on a full tank at cruising speeds.
The scooter has 12-inch front and 10-inch rear wheels, wrapped in 90/90 and 100/90 tyres, respectively. Seat height of 755 mm seems suitable for optimal control and handling. While the base variant comes with drum brakes at both ends with CBS, the top variant has a disc brake at front with ABS.

The top variant costs 1,000 yuan more (approx. Rs 12,000) than the standard variant. Other key features of Honda NPF 125 include side stand engine cut off, 15-watt Type-C charger at the front, smart key for hassle-free start and saddle unlock, advanced suspension system and eSP tech for improved performance.
While Honda has patented the NPF 125 scooter in India, it is not certain when it will be launched here. Assuming that it is launched here, Honda NPF 125 will primarily rival the likes of Suzuki Burgman Street 125, TVS Ntorq, Yamaha Fascino and Hero Xoom 125. More
