Honda to call its new commuter Livo

Honda’s upcoming commuter motorcycle has been spotted testing in Delhi. Though the heavy camouflage on the test mule reveals very few details, a snapshot of the instrument cluster shows a ‘Livo’ decal below the fuel gauge, hinting at the bike’s name.

The Honda Livo will replace the CB Twister in the Japanese manufacturer’s Indian line-up. Like the CB Twister, the Livo gets air scoops besides the fuel tank, while the edgy body panels seem to be inspired by the CB Unicorn 160. The photograph of the instrument cluster previews an entirely new hexagonal design.

Mechanically, we can expect the Livo to be similar to the Honda Dream motorcycle, which is powered by a 110cc single-cylinder engine. The Livo will be positioned above the Dream series and we can expect it to retail in the Rs 53,000 to Rs 57,000 price range.
