The 1938 Brough Superior SS 110 set a high standard.
Brough motorcycles were mostly built from proprietary components -- all of which were expensive and top of the line.
Brough's legacy lies with its big V-twins.
The SS 100 featured leading-link front suspension.
Even the gas caps exuded quality.
The speedometer advanced in chronograph-like "clicks."
These "fishtail" muffler pipes added real style.
The 1970 Norton Commando 750S motorcycle was sporty but dogged by Japanese competition. The most interesting design element of this motorcycle is the high-set exhaust pipes with heat shields. See pictures and learn about the Norton Commando 750S.
The 1914 Sears Deluxe motorcycle was offered for sale in the Sears and Roebuck catalog. The motorcycle featured a 35-cubic-inch Deluxe ''Big Five'' engine and sold for 197 dollars. See pictures and learn more about the Sears Deluxe.
