The Honda Livo 110 cc bike comes with new styling and body graphic along with a new analogue-digital meter console with the Service Due Indicator, clock, and a new low maintenance seal chain. The engine remains unchanged as the bike uses the same 109.19 cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine that comes with Honda Eco Technology (HET) that makes 8.31 bhp and develops a peak torque of 9.09 Nm. Transmission duties are handled by a four-speed gearbox.
The best thing about the design is that it isn’t loud, it is rather more on a sophisticated side. The robust fuel tank adds to the macho stance of the bike. Dimensionally the bike measures 2020mm long, 738mm wide and 1099mm high. Ground clearance stands at 180mm and wheelbase is arond 1285mm. Fuel tank capacity is 8.5 litres and low kerb weight of 111 kg hints at ample power to weight ratio vouching great economy and performance. Livo’s body wears a dual tone theme dominated by black and a contrasting colour theme. The handle bar is placed close to the long seat and the forward set foot pegs make it for a comfortable ride position. A tri-pod instrument cluster is equipped on the handle bar up front which appears modish.
