2014 Star Motorcycles Bolt

Star Motorcycles, Yamaha’s American cruiser brand, has unveiled its new 2014 Bolt.

Sporting a distinctive, stripped-back look that’s devoid of chrome, the bike features a traditional teardrop fuel tank, 12-spoke cast wheels and a double-cradle frame. There are some modern touches though, including the LED rear light and an LCD speedometer.

Available from next month with a choice of Raven or Pearl White paint finishes, the Bolt has an MSRP in the United States of $7,990.

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
