Bajaj Pulsar 125 vs Honda Livo

The Pulsar 125. It looks exactly like the Pulsar 150 Neon because, well, Bajaj hasn’t bothered changing anything in terms of design or even a single body panel. But it has a smaller engine, a 125cc single cylinder air-cooled unit. 

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.  

TVS has made sure to make the new Raider 125 fun enough to compete against its well-established competition. But is it enough? We rode the new TVS Raider 125 to bring you a comprehensive road test review of the motorcycle.

This is the new TVS Raider. It's a 125cc motorcycle. It is being positioned as a sporty commuter motorcycle and TVS is hoping that young Indians will buy this bike in good numbers.
