2014 Honda CB1100 and CB1100EX

Honda has announced a few updates for its CB1100, including the introduction of an EX version. That news might come as a surprise to some, as the retro-styled naked bike was only launched in Europe earlier this year.

A major change is the adoption of a six-speed gearbox in place of the old five-speed item. Better economy and more relaxed cruising are promised by the extra ratio, which is complemented by a fuel computer, efficiency gauge and gear position indicator.

Completing the alterations to the regular CB1100 are standard-fit anti-lock brakes on European-market models, different indicators and a higher mounting position for the headlight. As before, power is provided by an air-cooled, fuel-injected, four-cylinder, 1,140 cc engine that produces 88 bhp (66 kW / 90 PS).

Aluminium-rimmed wire-spoke wheels and twin rear exhausts instantly identify the new CB1100EX, but those aren’t the only distinguishing features. It also has a larger fuel tank that holds 17.5 litres (3.8 gallons) instead of the usual 14.6 litres (3.2 gallons). The redesigned side panels, plusher seat and horizontal pillion grab rails are all unique, too.

The 2014 CB1100 comes with Graphite Black paintwork, while CB1100EX buyers will have a choice of Graphite Black, Candy Glory Red or Pearl Milky White colour schemes. UK prices have yet to be confirmed.

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

A deal with Yuasa has also been confirmed, which will see the battery manufacturer becoming the renamed Honda Yuasa Racing Team’s title sponsor for the next three years.
