Bajaj Pulsar AS150 vs Honda Livo

We might not have erupted in jubilant celebrations on the launch of the new Pulsar AS 150, but it is needless to point out that this is the game changer for the under-200cc semi-faired motorcycles. We took the new Adventure Sport motorcycle for an outing in Lavasa to find out if the new product from Bajaj is as revolutionary as they claim, or our love and hate relationship with Pulsars will continue.  

The Honda Livo was recently launched as a spiritual successor to the CB Twister. Sold alongside the Dream series of 110cc commuter bikes, the Livo is the most expensive small-capacity commuter in the Japanese manufacturer’s line-up. While the Twister was one of the most stylish 110cc commuter motorcycles in the Indian market, it failed to capture the buyers’ imagination. Honda has attempted to overcome this defeat by taking a toned down approach towards styling, which despite being less flamboyant than the CB Twister, makes the Livo look like a true blue-blooded steed.
