The Brough Superior SS 100 is a motorcycle which was designed and built by George Brough in Nottingham, England in 1924. Each bike was designed to meet specific customer requirements—even the handlebars were individually shaped. sixty-nine SS100s were produced in 1925 and at £170 (equivalent to £9,500 in 2018) were advertised by Brough as the "Rolls-Royce of Motorcycles" All bikes had a guarantee that they were capable of 100 mph (160 km/h).

 

 

The SS100 (Super Sports) was the first custom motorcycle with components chosen from many different suppliers. The first engine (from 1924 to 1936) was the twin-cam KTOR JAP (made by J. A. Prestwich) V twin (upgraded to a Matchless engine from 1936). Gearboxes were the 4-stud 3-speed from Sturmey-Archer, with a chain drive
