THE SMART GUIDE<br />
At the Wheel<br />
Whether it’s taking to the open road or enjoying a guided tour, the<br />
options for exploration are increasingly decadent<br />
SPORT BUT NOT<br />
AS WE KNOW IT<br />
ALL ABOUT<br />
THE STYLE<br />

IF THE MILWAUKEE manufacturer of iconic motorcycles<br />
has a particular reputation, then Harley-Davidson is<br />
doing much to change that – and its latest release<br />
certainly does challenge preconceptions. The<br />
Sportster S is certainly different to what has come<br />
before it, both as an HD bike and in the sportster<br />
genre. Visually, there is no doubting this is a very<br />
modern bike, but the devil is in the detail, in this case<br />
a new engine (a Revolution Max 1250T V-Twin) and a<br />
flurry of technical innovations. Sport, Road and Rain<br />
riding modes lead the way, while a sat-nav screen and<br />
smartphone integrations follow. Performance-wise, it is<br />
also a step up on previous iterations – and a bike that<br />
truly shows its best on wide-open roads.<br />

IT’S NO LONGER ENOUGH for high-end hotels and<br />
entertainment venues to simply ferry their guests<br />
around in ordinary vehicles – something special is<br />
required. That’s why Billionaire Life, whose portfolio<br />
includes properties in Porto Cervo, Dubai, Monaco<br />
and Riyadh, has teamed up with Ares, the Italian<br />
coachbuilder, which has delivered a fleet of individually<br />
built ARES for Land Rover Defender Spec 1.2<br />
Cabriolets. Each of these vehicles sports a remarkable<br />
level of customisation with features hand-crafted in<br />
Ares’ Modena atelier. Every one of the Defenders’ livery<br />
and style mirrors the colour palettes and trims of the<br />
various venues (such as Cipriani in Monaco, above)<br />
and will offer a bespoke VIP service to Billionaire Life’s<br />
guests. aresdesign.com<br />
