BMW introduces three more R 1250 models

Following the recent launches of the R 1250 GS and R 1250 RT, BMW has installed its latest twin-cylinder boxer engine in three other motorcycles. They are the naked R 1250 R, the sporty R 1250 RS and the tough R 1250 GS Adventure.

The début of BMW ShiftCam Technology (which varies the valve timing and valve stroke) plus a capacity increase from 1,170 cc to 1,254 cc bring various benefits. For example, power is up by 11 bhp (8 kW / 11 PS) to 134 bhp (100 kW / 136 PS) at 7,750 rpm, while peak torque becomes 143 Nm (105 lb/ft) at 6,250 rpm.

Standard equipment on all of these bikes is fairly generous. The list includes Automatic Stability Control, a couple of riding modes, Hill Start Control and a 6.5” colour TFT display instead of conventional instruments.

UK starting prices are:
  • R 1250 R – £11,215
  • R 1250 RS – £12,100
  • R 1250 GS Adventure – £14,415
However, if customers are tempted by the myriad cost options and accessories being offered, then they could end up paying considerably higher amounts.

Dynamic Electronic Suspension Adjustment and Riding Modes Pro are among the available extras. The latter is a rider aids package that consists of Dynamic Traction Control, ABS Pro, Dynamic Brake Control, Hill Start Control Pro and two additional mode settings.

Dealers are accepting orders now.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
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
