Preparing a sequel to a great movie is a difficult task that not everybody can handle. The same applies to super motorbikes too. The MV Agusta Brutale was launched almost a decade ago. This bike has indeed proven its worth as one of the most attractive motorcycles in existence. And now its maker has attempted to update the original model.
Thr good thing is the engineers and designers did not really mess with the original Brutale master design. Though on a closer look, you will notice that close to 85 per cent of the 2010 Brutale is new. The bodywork with its chromoly steel trellis frame and the iconic headlight have all been replaced. Even the four-cylinder powerplant is now available in either 998cc or 1078cc options.

The saga of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Leopard Watch continues. And why should it not? After all it is luxury itemised. The 40mm wide 18K gold case frames the timepiece elegantly as the pieces are decorated with 48 diamonds. The 36 baguette cognac sapphire are fitted in the bezel. The face of the clock holds the hours in a unique fashion with 8 spectacular diamonds and amidst an intricate mogul-like pattern. The sexy leopard printed strap is held safe by a fliplock closure in 18K yellow gold. There are fix pushers too. Need we say more, if you are a Rolex fan!
And if you are not then let us inform that this glamorous timepiece is meant for those special moments in life. You can well expect a brand like Rolex to do so which shells out 200 luxury watches with each passing day.

With a fitness consciousness dawning in rapidly, we are not really surprised to spot one health regime armory almost every week, each claiming to be different and better than the rest. The Power Plate is one such training machine. Designed by a Japanese who goes by the name of Kenzo Takada, this ‘revolutionary’ system is expected to be a very efficient training device.
We hear that the Power Plate works on vibrations that help realize new levels of health, fitness and performance. And the latest from Takada tells us that he has redesigned his famous machine making it look ‘appealing’ (though many of you might not agree with looks) with a mix of pink, blue and green flowers against a backdrop red gloss. Apparently, the idea was to brighten up the exercise regimen that most people are either bored or dread to undertake on a regular basis.
