George Brough began building motorcycles shortly after World War I, naming them Brough Superior to distinguish them from his father's Brough models and to emphasize their high performance and quality. During the 1920s and 1930s, Brough Superior became known as the pinnacle of motorcycle engineering. These machines gained fame through riders such as Bert le Vack, Eric Fernihough, Noel Pope, and T.E. Lawrence, also known as "Lawrence of Arabia."
