The Honda Livo is the first all-new motorcycle from the stables of the
Japanese two-wheeler giant and will be replacement for the Honda CB
Twister
The commuter segment is among the most important market for any two-wheeler manufacturer in the country. As it is this segment that contributes the highest volume in the overall sales. Despite this fact, that commuter segment is among the toughest market for any manufacturer to crack. Honda commenced their operations in the commuter segment in the form of the CB Twister. The bike was pitched as a premium commuter motorcycle and was endowed with a sharp and edgy styling. Despite the early success, the Honda CB Twister never garnered the numbers as expected by the Japanese two-wheeler giant. Honda knows that to thwart Hero MotoCorp from the numero uno position, it needs to garner volumes from the commuter segment. For this purpose it has launched the new Livo in India. The new Honda Livo is the replacement for the CB Twister as a premium commuter in its portfolio
Styling:
Since the Honda Livo has been marketed as an aspirational commuter motorcycle it gets a Dash of aggressive styling to set it apart from the standard entry-level motorcycles. The Livo gets a sharp looking headlamp that seems inspired from the Honda Unicorn 160. The headlamp has been neatly integrated into an edgy bikini fairing. Another interesting design detail on the Honda Livo is the sculpted fuel tank with jagged tank extensions that gives the design a dash of muscle. The overall design is devoid of any body graphics but an accessory graphics package is available to further sport up the simple, yet elegant looks of the bike. The instrument cluster is a basic analogue unit but what sets it apart is the hexagonal design that makes it unique. It houses a speedometer, fuel gauge, odometer and various tell-tale lights. The switch gear is basic but reek of good quality and overall build quality is nice.
