According to Brough Superior Motorcycles
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.
This new model represents a milestone for Brough Superior. Inspired by the mechanical architecture of the S.S.100, the Lawrence has unique curves that were only possible to be created by using carbon fiber. The frame of the motorcycle is in titanium, and its fork is a Fior type in aluminium. The engine has entirely been developed internally by the Brough Superior engineers. The production technology and the engineering skills that are required to build this bike partly come from the aeronautical industry that is very influential in the region of Toulouse, France. The world’s leading spaceships, satellites and aircrafts are also produced in the same region. Only 188 editions of this fascinating motorcycle will be
produced. The number 188 is echoing the birth date of T.E. Lawrence: 1888.
