Hero Splendor Plus vs Honda Shine 100 DX Comparison: Price, Specs, And More
Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India is attempting to renew its presence in the highly demanded commuter segment with the launch of the Shine 100 DX. Being in a highly competitive segment, this new motorcycle in the Japanese manufacturer's lineup seems to be stepping on the toes of some of the best-sellers in the country, including the Hero Splendor Plus.
