Suzuki introduces a larger-capacity VanVan

This year's EICMA show in Milan saw the debut of Suzuki's VanVan 200.

In essence, this new motorcycle takes the existing VanVan 125 and equips it with a larger 199 cc single-cylinder, fuel-injected, air-cooled engine. Power and economy figures have yet to be revealed, though.

The rest of the specification is pretty much unchanged. That means the 200 model features 18” front and 14” rear wheels shod with balloon tyres, a front disc / rear drum brake set-up and a well-padded wide saddle that's only 770 mm (30.3”) high. A weight of just 128 kg (282 lbs) should be very manageable for most riders.

Available in a choice of either Metallic Triton Blue or Solid Black paintwork, VanVan 200 deliveries are scheduled to start next February. For now, Suzuki is keeping quiet on pricing.

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
