9 1929 Brough Superior SS100 Alpine Grand Sports – $492,973
Named after the Alpine Trial (known to be “the toughest event in the world”) a course that ran through Austria, Croatia, Slovenia, and Stelvio Pass, this bike was designed with the success of the previous Brough motorcycles on the famous pre-war race in mind. Introduced at first in 1925, the SS100 had a low-compression, 986cc engine and originally came with a Cruiser sidecar, according to its Works Record Card. These bikes were guaranteed to be able to drive over 100 miles per hour. They’ve attained an incredible price for what many consider the “Rolls-Royce” of motorcycles, and this is another terrific survivor that’s somehow defied the passage of time.
