BMW creates the Concept Stunt G 310

As its name suggests, the BMW Concept Stunt G 310 is a compact bike that’s been designed for maximum agility.

Built with input from well-known stunt rider Chris Pfeiffer, the G 310’s small dimensions are complemented by a newly-developed single-cylinder engine.

This features a cylinder head which is rotated by 180° and an upright exhaust silencer that sits between the motor and the rear suspension’s spring strut. Such an arrangement means the wheelbase can be kept short, while allowing a fairly long rear swingarm.

For performing tricks, extra foot rests are provided by front-axle pegs and an opening in the centre of the solid aluminium tail section. Other modifications include an auxiliary rear-brake lever mounted on the left handlebar and a lockable throttle.

Usefully, crash bars are fitted too…

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
