The very first Brough Superior

The new marque wasn't quite ready to show at the Olympia show in late November 1920, but by Christmas it was in the weekly motorcycle magazines. Powered by a 980 OHV JAP V twin, it was presented as a fast sporty solo mount and George Brough was eager to promote his "specially ordered" components in his "assembled" motorcycle.

It must've looked seriously futuristic when it was introduced. Now it seems like a point-by-point representation of the cusp betwixt teens and twenties design.
