Over a decade ago, Brough Superior, the renowned motorcycle brand, returned with a modern touch. While the past inspired the company’s initial offerings, they all boasted superior quality and modern takes on Brough’s iconic two-wheelers, such as the SS100. However, in 2019, Brough Superior took a giant leap forward by partnering with Aston Martin to launch the AMB 001, an advanced superbike with 180 horsepower.
AMB 001
After introducing the AMB 001 and a track-only superbike with even greater power, the 225-hp AMB 001 PRO, Brough Superior has now unveiled a minimal run of Ultimate Series SS100 and Lawrence motorcycles, utilizing the expertise and knowledge acquired from designing the AMB 001.
Ultimate Series
The Ultimate Series version of Brough Superior’s Classic Design range SS100 comes equipped with a water-cooled 997cc V-twin engine, featuring an aluminium block machined with the same five-axis CNC rig used for the AMB 001’s engine, leaving the CNC rig’s impressive machining lines on full display.
The Ultimate Series SS100 stands out from the standard model with an array of unique silver leaf accents and “Ultimate” script decals and graphics, denoting each limited edition unit’s production number.
Modern range
Brough Superior’s flagship offering from its Modern Design range, the Ultimate Series Lawrence model, has undergone a similar transformation. The Ultimate Series Lawrence, loaded with exposed carbon fibre elements, benefits from the same machined aluminium engine block as the Ultimate Series SS100. It also features the same silver leaf accents, “Ultimate”, and production number graphics as its counterpart. Together, these modifications make two already highly unique motorcycles even more elite.
The Brough Superior Ultimate Series SS100 and Ultimate Series Lawrence Motorcycles are now available, with pricing available upon request. Both limited edition models will be restricted to just 19 units worldwide.
