New Brough Superiors

He does seem to have strong feeling about it.

 

I was born and lived in Europe and I never heard of it .
We used to drool over Munch Mammut which was powered by car engine (NSU), that was super bike for its era.

 

That was a really ugly bike, however when I was about 14 I thought it was the dogs bollocks.

 

I really thought this was gonna be a thread about squatted trucks...Brah?

I would happily ride one of those behemoths. They were steampunk before steampunk existed. If anyone has one out in the barn, I'm your huckleberry.

 

The original Brough Superior was as English as tea and cucumber sandwiches.

Here's an interesting fact about the Brough Superior. The manufacturer's father owned a successful motorcycle company eponymously named Brough. He was rather put out when his son launched the Superior marque, as it indicated his own product was inferior.

 

Me too. I would not mind owning some of my old ones now.
For you know it all what bike is the top picture?

 

That Mammut would be perfect size for you

 

Should be Bro Superior.

 

But who knows how to say it?

 

I owned a Brougham once.



A 1980 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.
My daughters hated us taking them to school in it.

 

There was a Lovejoy episode about a Brough Superior.

 

Meh. IMO the engine should be the star of the show and it's not. Looks like a warmed-over TL1000 engine.
