I hate to say it but as I think about it , this isn't the 3rd best but in my opinion the best..the 1937 Speedtwin. That is my dream bike and all time favorite.




I hear ya. The Brough is such a classy motorsickle. The pictures do not in any way do it justice. The Speedtwin is very nice indeed.

In July, Turner introduces the 500cc Speed Twin, selling at 75 pounds. It takes the motorcycle world by storm and would prove the definitive British bike. This 27bhp parallel-twin model (some say was based on the engine design of the Riley 9 car, which Turner owned) set the trend for motorcycles and its form continued well into the 1980s. It was capable of travelling 90 mph (145kph) and weighed 361 lb. (166kg).
