Yamaha MT-09 Street Tracker first view

A few simple changes have transformed Yamaha’s MT-09 into the scrambler-styled Street Tracker.

They include the fitment of aluminium number plates on the front and sides, a billet handlebar tensioner and a shortened carbon fibre front mudguard that’s secured with aluminium stays. Grey paintwork, a black frame and bronze wheels - all of which have a matte finish - further distinguish the bike from a regular MT-09.

The riding experience should be a bit different too thanks to the Street Tracker’s wider foot pegs, tank kneepads and flat two-tone saddle that incidentally raises the seat height from the usual 815.0 mm (32.1”) to 849.5 mm (33.4”).

To complete the package, Yamaha is also offering an optional aftermarket Akrapovic exhaust for the otherwise standard 113 bhp (85 kW / 115 PS) 847 cc three-cylinder engine.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

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
