Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2023 Brough Superior Lawrence, a striking naked bike that stands as a testament to the brand's storied heritage and commitment to modern engineering. Brough Superior, often revered as the "Rolls Royce of Motorcycles," has crafted the Lawrence to capture the hearts of discerning riders seeking performance, style, and exclusivity. Nestled within the competitive landscape of high-end motorcycles, the Lawrence is designed for those who appreciate not only the thrill of the ride but also the artistry of a finely engineered machine. At the heart of the Lawrence lies a robust 997cc 88° V-twin engine, delivering an exhilarating 102 horsepower at a soaring 9600 RPM. This powerful engine produces a torque of 87 Nm, peaking at 7300 RPM, providing ample muscle for spirited rides on twisty roads or the open highway. The liquid-cooled beast is coupled with a six-speed gearbox that ensures smooth gear transitions, while the multiplate oil-bath clutch with hydraulic operation guarantees precise handling under varying conditions. With an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 0.51 HP/kg, the Lawrence promises not just speed but an engaging ride that responds intuitively to the rider's commands. Beyond its impressive powertrain, the 2023 Brough Superior Lawrence is designed with advanced technology and premium materials. Its machined titanium frame and subframe not only contribute to its lightweight construction—tipping the scales at just 200 kg (440.9 lbs)—but also enhance the bike's agility and handling. The Fior-type aluminum casting fork and adjustable monoshock rear suspension provide a plush ride without sacrificing performance, while Beringer stainless steel brakes ensure rapid stopping power when needed. The Lawrence's aesthetic is equally captivating, available in a sleek black finish that accentuates the bike's curves and aggressive stance. **
