2018 Indian Scout Bobber unveiled

Apparently, Scout owners like to give their bikes a custom bobber look, so Indian has decided to create an official factory version.

As well as numerous black components, unique Scout Bobber features include tracker handlebars, shortened mudguards, 16” cast wheels shod with larger tyres, vented exhaust shields, a two-tone leather-covered saddle and special tank badges.

What's more, the riding experience should be fairly different. That's because the foot pegs have been moved 38 mm (1.5”) aft, the rear suspension is 25 mm (1.0”) lower and a cartridge-type front fork is fitted.

Like a regular Scout, the Bobber is powered by a 1,133 cc, fuel-injected, V-twin engine. This delivers 92 bhp (70 kW / 94 PS) and 98 Nm (72 lb/ft) of torque via a six-speed transmission.

When European sales of the Scout Bobber begin towards the end of 2017, customers will have a choice of Thunder Black, Thunder Black Smoke, Bronze Smoke, Indian Motorcycle Red or Star Silver Smoke paintwork.

UK pricing starts at £11,299.

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
