Harley-Davidson XR 1200

The brand new, sporty XR1200 is noteworthy for it’s minimal but smart design. The 1.2 liter, 91 horsepower engine comes from the original Sportster model. But on the XR1200 there is a larger air-box, downdraft fuel injection and a performance-biased exhaust system. This increases the bike’s power, producing about 85 to 90 horsepower. And this is how she gets up to 200km per hour. Because of...

Jaguar XJ-S

Fast track to 2008 and Rolex can claim to be the largest luxury watch manufacturer in the world, producing around 2000 watches per day and posting annual revenue of around $3bn. The Oyster Perpetual Date Sea-Dweller 4000...
