2013 Suzuki Burgman 650

Suzuki is giving its Burgman 650 maxi-scooter a comprehensive update for 2013. Although at first sight it might be hard to spot the differences, the new version has a slimmer rear end, more prominent multi-reflector headlights, LED position lights and mirror-mounted indicators. Power continues to come from a 638 cc, fuel-injected twin-cylinder engine that’s connected to a continuously variable transmission. But it’s now reckoned to be 15% more economical when in ‘Drive’ mode, thanks to reduced mechanical losses and revised transmission settings. To further help minimise fuel consumption, a new Eco Drive Indicator lights up on the dashboard when the Burgman is being ridden in an efficient style.

Ford launches Fiesta Metal

Image
The hot ST should hopefully be arriving in showrooms soon but, until that happens, the quickest Fiesta available will be the just-announced Metal special edition. Based on the existing three-door Zetec S, it comes complete with Ford’s Tuning Pack that lifts the 1.6 litre Duratec engine’s power by 13 bhp (8 kW / 14 PS) to 132 bhp (96 kW / 134 PS). Although top speed is virtually unchanged at 121 mph (195 km/h), the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration time is slashed from 9.9 to 8.7 seconds. To go with the extra performance, the looks have been spruced up too. There are 17” black alloy wheels, twin chrome exhausts and a silver finish at the front for the aerofoil, grille surround and fog light bezels. Paintwork choice comprises Frozen White, Midnight Sky Metallic or Panther Black Metallic. The interior hasn’t been ignored, either. It gets Ebony Black leather sports seats, Piano Black trim, stainless steel door scuff plates and unique floor mats. Only 1,000 examples of the Ford F
