Honda Livo [2020-2024]

Design: Honda has tried to give the Livo a youthful appearance with an attractive bikini fairing and smart body panels. There are some bold colour options on offer and small touches like body-coloured rear-view mirrors lend the bike a premium overall look. The sizeable tank extensions give the bike some mass and make it look modern.

Features: The Livo BS6 is a more feature-rich motorcycle than its predecessor. The new engine is now brought to life by a silent ACG starter, and Honda has included an engine kill-switch and side-stand cut-off as well. Instrumentation continues to be semi-digital but the design of the console is new.

Engine: The Livo is now powered by an OBD2-compliant 109.51cc engine. This is the same motor that is used in the CD 110 Dream as well, where it churns out 8.8PS and 9.3Nm. It should also make the Livo more fuel efficient than before. The engine is paired to a 4-speed gearbox. Holding the bike together is a single-downtube cradle frame suspended on a telescopic fork and twin shock absorbers. The Livo is stopped by 130mm drum brakes at both ends, but a 240mm front disc is available as an option.

Rivals: The 110cc commuter space is a hotly contested segment and the Livo has to fend off the likes of the TVS Star City Plus BS6, Hero Passion Pro BS6 and Bajaj Platina 110.

Variants: he Honda Livo BS6 is available in two variants: Drum and Disc. The former, priced at Rs 78,500, has to make do with 130mm drum brakes at both ends while the Deluxe version is equipped with a 240mm front disc brake. The latter retails at Rs 82,500 (ex-showroom)

Honda has launched the 2023 iteration of the Livo and here's all that it gets. The bike competes against the TVS Star City Plus BS6 and Hero Passion Pro BS6.
