Honda Livo vs Yamaha Saluto RX

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.  

The Saluto RX represents Yamaha’s latest offensive in the lucrative but highly competitive 110cc commuter motorcycle segment. The Saluto RX is a successor to the now discontinued Yamaha Crux, and apart from an all-new moniker, the motorcycle also gets completely revised underpinnings and a brand new engine. Yamaha aims to attract the semi-urban and the metropolitan youth audience by hoping that the iconic RX moniker’s magic will rub off on the Saluto RX.
