The disappointing thing is that the odo is all analog and there is no rev counter. You will find here only speedometer, Odo, fuel gauge and lighting indicators.

The handlebar position of Honda CB Shine is upright and that is perfect for a good commuter. The handlebars are fully equipped with regular control switches. Again disappointing thing is that it has no engine kill switch and the headlamp is AC operated.honda-cb-shine-engine
