Brough Superior Motorcycles at VintageMotorcycles.nl – British Engineering Excellence
Founded in 1919 by George Brough in Nottingham, England, Brough Superior quickly earned a reputation as the “Rolls-Royce of Motorcycles.” Renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship, performance, and exclusivity, these motorcycles have become iconic in the world of luxury motorcycling.
A Legacy of Excellence
From 1919 to 1940, Brough Superior produced approximately 3,048 motorcycles across 19 models. Each bike was meticulously handcrafted, often customized to the buyer’s specifications, ensuring that no two machines were exactly alike. This dedication to quality and individuality set Brough Superior apart in the early 20th-century motorcycle industry.
The SS100: A Benchmark in Performance
One of the most celebrated models, the SS100, was introduced in 1924. Designed to be the ultimate sports motorcycle of its time, the SS100 was guaranteed to reach speeds of 100 mph (160 km/h). This model attracted notable enthusiasts, including T.E. Lawrence, famously known as “Lawrence of Arabia,” who owned multiple Brough Superior motorcycles.
Revival and Modern Craftsmanship
After ceasing production in 1940 due to World War II, the Brough Superior name lay dormant until its revival in the 21st century. In 2013, a new SS100 prototype was unveiled, blending classic design elements with modern engineering. Today, each motorcycle is handcrafted in the company’s workshop, ensuring that the legacy of quality and performance continues.
