2013 Victory Boardwalk

The new 2013 Boardwalk from Victory Motorcycles is very much a variation on a theme, and most casual observers might struggle to tell it apart from any of the other existing cruisers in the range.

But a closer inspection will reveal some unique features, key among them being huge front and rear fenders that wrap around the wire-spoke wheels and their whitewall tyres.

As expected, power comes from the 1,731 cc (106 cubic inch) Freedom V-twin engine. For the Boardwalk, though, it comes covered in chrome plating, as do the ‘beach’ handlebars, exhausts and various other bits of trim. Plenty for the bike’s owner to keep polished, then.

Victory is trying to engender a ‘relaxed riding’ vibe for its latest model, and to go with that footboards are included in the specification. Likewise the seat - which has a removable pillion pad - is designed to offer a decent mix of comfort and support.

Available in Pearl White or Gloss Black paintwork, the Boardwalk carries a comparatively hefty price tag of $15,499 in the United States.

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
