Behold the 2014 Brough-Superior SS 100; it debuted today at the EICMA show in Italy.
The new SS100 features design and engineering by Boxer Design. The SS100 is a dream come true project for Boxer Design. The team is keen on classic motorcycles and has always considered the Brough Superior SS100 as the best bike ever. Outstanding design passing over trends and years, technical refinement appearing in a minimalist simplicity… The epitome of motorcycles that was always in Thierry Henriette’s mind, at the top of his motorcycle career.
Word has it that this prototype was built in just 90 days. Brough Superior provided a sheet for this vintage/modern exercise, and we look forward to finding out if production bikes will ever see the light of day.
It’s always nice to see another manufacturer trying to break through.
