Yamaha YZF-R125 updated for 2014

The diminutive Yamaha YZF-R125 sports bike has received a comprehensive overhaul.

Compared to last year’s model, the 2014 version gains an upside-down front fork, a revised rear suspension linkage and a radial caliper and floating disc front brake set-up.

The engine is still a 125 cc single-cylinder unit that produces 14.8 bhp (11.0 kW / 15.0 PS), but its fuel injection system has been recalibrated for better economy.

Visually the most obvious difference is at the front end, where an air intake has appeared between the dual headlights. Other changes include a switch to full LCD instrumentation, redesigned Y-spoke wheels and new die-cast aluminium pillion footrests.

Race Blu and Matt Grey paint schemes continue to be available, but they’re now joined by Anodized Red as the third colour option.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

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
