1926 Brough Superior MKI Classic Car Motorcycle

Brough Superior model MKI. This is a 1000cc sidevalve sport model from 1926. After this model came the SS80 and SS100, which had a closed frame under the block. The use of the MKI frame came to an end in about 1925 but was used for racing motorcycles for a while longer because the later frames were much heavier. The MKI frame usually had the older models web forks but this one already has the new and better Castle fork. The engine block is a JAP 1000cc sports block with large valves (45mm). In the photos you can see that an AMAL double float chamber has been mounted on which it runs well, but now there is a Binks mousetrap racing carburettor, on which it also runs very well. Amal is easy to operate and Binks is much nicer and more special but slightly more difficult to operate. When you buy you can choose which one you want. This model from Brough Superior is still the beautiful model in my opinion with the heel straps, Bonniksen speedo and narrow tank with oil pump and dripper.
