Rolls-Royce cars have always been acclaimed for their quiet and smooth performance. This is perhaps what encouraged the Rolls-Royce analogy - that and the superb quality standards.
Bough Superior cut out much of the usual noise created by poppet valves and tappets and, with a good silencing system, created the impression of a quiet giant.

Highly tuned 'Pendine' version of the SS100 |
Brough Superior are amazing machines and very rare too with only about three thousand machines produced. On 27 April 2008, at the Stafford Motorcycle show, the auctioneers Bonhams sold a 1934 Brough Superior SS100 for £166,500!
Of course the bikes were also made famous by Lawrence of Arabia who unfortunately died riding the bikes he loved.
