Suzuki Inazuma 250 pricing

With its new Inazuma 250, Suzuki could be about to exploit a small niche in the commuter motorcycle market.

Arguably, the bike’s 250 cc engine capacity is perfect for the task: powerful enough to nip through traffic, yet capable of achieving low running costs and decent economy. In fact, Suzuki is claiming a class-leading and wallet-friendly fuel consumption figure of 85.8 mpg (3.3 l/100km).

A lack of obvious rivals should also help the Inazuma’s chances of sales success. Very few 250 cc models are currently offered in Europe, and the target audience of many that are - including the Kawasaki Ninja 250R, Hyosung GT250R and Honda CBR250R - is definitely sports bike fans.

Perhaps the only direct competitor is the Hyosung GT250, which costs £3,399 on the road.

Given that amount, Suzuki’s decision to price the Inazuma 250 at £3,499 OTR in the UK seems reasonable. Sales are due to begin during the second half of September, and customers will have a choice of either Pearl Nebular Black or Candy Cardinal Red paintwork.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
