Brough Superior Moto dans l'ordre chronologique

Nicknamed “Moby Dick” by Motor Cycling magazine tester Dennis May, this SS100 is the original Speed Custom motorcycle. Purchased as a standard Brough Superior SS100 with special oversize cylinders from J.A. Prestwich (JAP) by Charles Hobb, the additional 13 horsepower proved to be not enough for the speed demon. Additional modifications, including an increase in compression ratio, higher-lift cams, lightened valves, and twin Amal carburettors, increased power output to over 65 horsepower – an increase of 21 horsepower over the standard engine. Moby Dick clocked in at 115 mph in top gear, though at that point it was the road that was running out, not the bike.

Campaigned at Bonneville in 2013, this SS100, nicknamed “Baby Pendine”, properly trounced the competition in its class. Ridden by Alan Cathcart to a double FIM World Record title in mile and kilometre, plus an AMA Record 750-A-VG, Baby Pendine also managed an AMA Record title in 750-A-VF by Henry Cole.

The 2015 Brough Superior SS100 features an engine designed and built by French specialists Akira Engineering. Manufactured at Henriette's Boxer Design factory in Toulouse, each SS100 is handcrafted. The motorcycle was offered in three color options.
