All-new Honda Forza 125 scooter revealed

Honda says its 2015 Forza 125 is aimed at those people who want a bit more performance and practicality from their scooter.

Built around a steel frame, the newcomer is powered by a single-cylinder, fuel-injected, four-valve, 124.9 cc engine that produces 14.0 bhp (10.5 kW / 14.2 PS) with 12 Nm (8 lb/ft) of torque. It comes connected to a continuously-variable automatic transmission and has been tuned to deliver strong acceleration right across the rev range.

Economy hasn’t been forgotten, though. Thanks to fuel-saving measures such as a stop-start system and low-friction internals, the Forza 125 achieves a very respectable 122.8 mpg (2.3 l/100km / 43.5 km/l) according to the World Motorcycle Test Cycle measure.

Fitted as standard are cast aluminium wheels, anti-lock brakes with discs front and rear, full LED lights, a 12V socket in the glovebox and an adjustable windscreen. Among the available accessories are heated grips and a top box.

UK deliveries are expected to begin around the middle of next year. Buyers here will have a choice of Pearl Nightstar Black with Castagna Brown, Moondust Silver with Matt Cynos Grey or Matt Pearl Cool White with Matt Pacific Blue paintjobs. Two additional options – Matt Cynos Grey Metallic and Matt Pearl Cool White with Black – are going to be offered in other markets.

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
