Honda’s Rival Launches Affordable Motorcycle and Promises to Dethrone Japanese Vehicles. For Only R$ 8,000, the Affordable Motorcycle Promises to Deliver Cutting-Edge Technologies and Good Power.
Honda is known for being one of the most beloved motorcycle manufacturers in Brazil. This is a great truth, considering that in the ranking of the 10 best-selling motorcycles in Brazil in 2023, the Japanese giant occupies the 7th position. However, being the most loved does not mean it has the cheapest products. Currently, the cheapest motorcycle is from Honda’s rival – Shineray Worker 125.
Shineray Brings Affordable Model to Market
The affordable motorcycle is the Shineray Worker 125. According to data from Motor1, this motorcycle is priced at R$ 8,490. The affordable motorcycle features a 123.67 cm³ engine, 7.2 horsepower, and 0.80 kgfm of torque, making it a vehicle that could capture a large audience here.
The amenities do not stop there, extending to a 4-speed mechanical gearbox, disc brakes at the front, and drum brakes at the rear. Additionally, it also has electric and pedal start. Originally presented in 2021, the Shineray Worker now has a new model.
