Honda Crosstourer SE

Honda has revealed that its new V4-powered Crosstourer will also be offered in SE guise for the UK.

Distinguishing the SE from the standard version is a selection of useful Honda accessories, including three-step heated grips, a centre stand and a front cowl bar. It also comes with an ‘aluminium look’ (silver-coloured plastic, in other words) luggage set comprising a 32 litre top box (expandable to 39 litres), plus a pair of panniers that can hold 35 and 39 litres on the right- and left-hand sides respectively.

The arrival of the SE and the availability of a dual-clutch transmission now mean that there will be four models in the Crosstourer line-up to choose from:

· Crosstourer - £11,475 OTR
· Crosstourer SE - £13,375 OTR
· Crosstourer DCT - £12,325 OTR
· Crosstourer DCT SE - £14,225 OTR

Although the SE spec bikes attract a premium of £1,900, Honda calculates that buying all of the accessories separately would cost £700 more, which makes the package pretty good value.

UK sales of the Honda Crosstourer begin on the 14th of April.

Ford launches Fiesta Metal

Image
The hot ST should hopefully be arriving in showrooms soon but, until that happens, the quickest Fiesta available will be the just-announced Metal special edition. Based on the existing three-door Zetec S, it comes complete with Ford’s Tuning Pack that lifts the 1.6 litre Duratec engine’s power by 13 bhp (8 kW / 14 PS) to 132 bhp (96 kW / 134 PS). Although top speed is virtually unchanged at 121 mph (195 km/h), the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration time is slashed from 9.9 to 8.7 seconds. To go with the extra performance, the looks have been spruced up too. There are 17” black alloy wheels, twin chrome exhausts and a silver finish at the front for the aerofoil, grille surround and fog light bezels. Paintwork choice comprises Frozen White, Midnight Sky Metallic or Panther Black Metallic. The interior hasn’t been ignored, either. It gets Ebony Black leather sports seats, Piano Black trim, stainless steel door scuff plates and unique floor mats. Only 1,000 examples of the Ford F
