Extremely Limited Release: Brough Superior SS100 'Bert Le Vack', tribute to a legend

The vintage record smasher has been redesigned for the 21st century and is the star of this extremely limited, 9 piece roll out. The limited edition Bert le Vack celebrates the new SS100 and is named after one of the greatest racers of his day.

George Brough designed the original SS100 after Bert le Vack’s speedy racer that had just broken nine world speed records. Equipped with a 980cc JAP KTOR engine producing 45 hp, the S.S.100 topped 100 mph - just over 160 km/h - which was ridiculously fast for the roads of the time!

In 2016 Mark Upham together with Thierry Henriette reinvented the SS100 without distorting it. By using advanced technicality of aeronautics for certain parts, an engine designed by Akira's goldsmiths and a casing and finish worthy of the most beautiful dresses of great couturiers.

In addition to the Bert le Vack's 997cc, 88-degree V-twin, novel Fior-style double wishbone front end, big retro-style 18in wheels, 230mm Beringer quadruple front disc brake set up and exquisite, hand-crafted ‘retro-mod’ style this motorcycle is exclusively equipped with titanium tank straps, and a set of Slash Cut sport exhausts.

Limited to 9 copies like the 9 world records obtained by le Vack with the original SS100, the Bert le Vack is finished with a titanium gray paint reminiscent of the le Vack Broughs of the past.

Herbert 'Bert' le Vack (1888 London – 16 September 1931 Berne, Switzerland) was a motorcycle world speed record holder throughout the 1920s and earned the nickname the 'Wizard of Brooklands' for his exploits at Brooklands.

An expert racing engine tuner, le Vack worked for some of the great marques and in the late 1920s joined Motosacoche in Switzerland as the works rider, chief designer and tuner. Le Vack was killed in a sidecar accident on 16 September 1931 near Bern, but is generally regarded as being one of the greatest racing motorcyclists of his day.

On the Brough Superior and other models, he consecutively broke nine speed records, until with one of the English bikes he set the mark at an impressive 191 km / h (119 mph) in Arpajon (France). Remember that we are talking about 1924. But he not only broke records, he also raced and a few years before he came second in the 1914 Tourist Trophy, despite having to push the bike the last half mile due to mechanical problems.
