Sport bikes may dominate Europe, but Buell's methodology is a distinctly American recipe, one that he has honed by fostering a culture of cooperation, ownership and innovation. The nine models Buell sells can be run at any time on its single 50-person assembly line. Each station uses handicraft instead of the automation characteristic of most lines.

The move means trading in the tony surroundings of Mayfair - with its bespoke tailors, high-end jewelers and Michelin-starred restaurants - for a gritty stretch of road between Battersea and Vauxhall, known for, among other things, its bus station, a large supermarket and one of London's busiest gay saunas.
