Brough Superior Lawrence | Luxury Bike

 

Brough Superior introducing the Lawrence, a bike hurdling into the new decade propelled by over 100 years of craftsmanship and named after iconic Brough Superior devotee, Lawrence of Arabia.

“The burble of my exhaust unwound like a long cord behind me. Soon my speed snapped it, and I heard only the cry of the wind . . . The cry rose with my speed to a shriek: while the air’s coldness streamed like two jets of iced water into my dissolving eyes. I screwed them to slits, and focused my sight two hundred yards ahead of me on the empty mosaic of the tar’s gravelled undulations.” So reads an excerpt from T.E. Lawrence’s biographical work, The Mint, which describes a memorable ride on his Brough Superior SS100 motorcycle.

The Lawrence is Brough Superior’s latest design and propels the century old motorcycle house into the 21st century. Its sleek lines are designed after the fleeting, fluid curve of the daggers Bedouins customarily wore on their belts and pictured on Brough icon Lawrence of Arabia. Take your fellow adventurer on the open road, this modern roadster is designed for two riders. This game-changing model is an ode to our past, and a glimpse of our future.
