As of now, Honda has teased the Livo on billboards but hasn't yet made it to their website. Dealers are also aware of a launch that might happen soon; a 100+cc bike is on the cards, and the bike should start arriving at dealerships fairly quickly. As per the spied pictures of the bike, both in camouflage and without, one could easily make out striking new features added on to the commuter-spec bike. A front fairing, extending from either side of the fuel tank lends a flamboyant look to the Livo. The teaser poster shows the exact same fairing (bikini fairing, as it is known), and sports an appropriate tag line “time to live”.
The Honda Livo's design will be based on the Honda Unicorn 160, and the Unicorn 160's traits seem quite conspicuous while viewing the bike from certain angles. This bike should deliver in terms of being practical and well-suited for city riding conditions, and most certainly a bang for the buck deal.
According to sources, the Livo is expected to come with an 110cc engine – equipped with the Honda Eco Technology (HET), enabling it to be a fuel sipper. The engine will be tweaked and refined to make the bike economical; the engine churns out 9bhp of power and 8Nm of torque. Pricing for the Livo is yet to be known, and prospective buyers may expect a price of Rs 50,000/- - Rs 55,000/-. The next big thing for Honda would be the launch of the much-awaited Honda CBR 650F, a proper sport bike that was heavily rumored has now reached dealerships, too. However, as the CBR650F is built under a CKD model, and localization levels are considerably low, the bike expects a heavy price tag.
