1925 Brough Superior SS100: The Most-Ultimate Rolls on Two Wheels

1925 Brough SS100: 100 mph Aristocrat Rocket 🏍️✨ shocked the world as the first production motorcycle guaranteed to hit 100 mph—a speed certificate came with every bike! Hand-built in Nottingham by George Brough, the SS100 wasn’t just fast, it was the “Rolls-Royce of Motorcycles,” favored by aristocrats, racers, and even T.E. Lawrence himself. With its 998 cc V-twin, 3-speed Sturmey-Archer gearbox, and Castle fork suspension, this machine was a blend of engineering genius and pure elegance. From rigid rear frames to later 4-speed upgrades, the SS100 kept evolving—just like its reputation. Today, collectors pay up to $540,000 for one of these legends, proof that history, speed, and style never go out of fashion. Ready to discover how a leaky oil system, a tragic accident, and a few aristocratic egos reshaped motorcycling forever? Hit play now.
