------

The Brough Superior SS80 1000cc was a motorcycle designed and built by George Brough of Brough Superior in Nottingham, UK from 1924 to 1939. The SS80 (Super Sports) model was developed in 1920, soon after George Brough set up Brough Superior. The SS80's model designation was based on Brough's guarantee that it could reach 80 mph (130 km/h). Finished to a standard that put it well beyond the reach of most motorcyclists, the SS80 set out the key features of all Brough Superior models to follow.

The SS80 "De Luxe" specification included a fully sprung rear wheel, bottom link front forks, a patented rolling stand, pillion footrests and a specially tuned engine. This SS80, recently restored, is in excellent condition and starting and running well.
