Brough Motorcycles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brough Motorcycles were made by William E. Brough (George Brough's father) in England from 1908 to 1926. Brough motorcycles were flat tanked motorcycles that used a variety of engines. The first Brough motorcycles had single cylinder engines but soon William Brough became devoted to the flat twin engine design.
William Brough's son, George Brough, started his own factory and named his motorcycles "Brough Superior". Upon hearing the name of the new motorcycle company, his father made the comment "I suppose that makes mine the Brough Inferior".
