2014 BMW K 1600 GTL Exclusive

BMW has unveiled the K 1600 GTL Exclusive, a new flagship for its touring bike range.

Compared to the regular GTL model, the Exclusive features plusher seating, armrests and a heated backrest for the pillion passenger, a keyless ride system, revised instruments and a radio antenna that’s embedded in the topcase lid.

Also fitted as standard are hill start control and an LED daytime running light, as well as the usually optional electronic suspension adjustment, LED auxiliary lights, anti-theft alarm and central locking. The finishing touch is a unique four-coat Mineral White metallic paint finish that’s complemented by an aluminium fuel tank moulding and chromed exhausts.

Technically things are unchanged, which means power is still provided by a 1,649 cc, six-cylinder engine that produces 158 bhp (118 kW / 160 PS) with 175 Nm (129 lb/ft) of peak torque.

Pricing for the K 1600 GTL Exclusive has yet to be confirmed.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

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
