Not taking a Shine to it... Sorry

Rode the Honda Shine again after a really long time today. Had a big surprise. Especially since I've basically been riding a mooched Hero Honda CBZ X-Treme, and another even more mooched Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi. Here's what I learnt

• What the...? This thing has quite a bit of vibration at city speeds. The corner cut by not adding vibe dampers wasn't a good one to cut
  
  
• It feels absolutely tiny and under-fleshed to ride. Almost malnourished. But I guess, compared to the girth of both of the other bikes I've been on, that's to be expected, right?
  
  
• The Shine's a first batch one, so I had to kick start it. I could not, for the life of me, remember the last time I kick started a motorcycle
  
  
• Brakes felt spongy too. The 220 and the XTreme both have sharper, stronger units.
  
  
• And what's with the ride quality? I thought I got bumped around a fair bit more than I remember from the last Shine ride
  
  
• I stick by what I said. I still wouldn't buy one
