Brough Superior 3-Cyl. Supercharged Radial bike engine ..

Just found out about this tonight from a Biker mate ..

And about 4 miles away from me ...

Sounds quite nice ..

Nice engine!

I cringe when I see a crank handle gripped like that, though. My Dad taught me  :hammer: to wrap my thumb round the same side of the handle as my fingers, in case the engine kicked back and broke it.

So that's what a 3 cylinder Harley is supposed to sound like.  :lol:

Very nice sounding indeed.

Hi Guys,
As they would say on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In "very interesting, but stupid".
Mr Brough may have been a "brilliant engineer", but that does not like a good engine configuration for a road bike. The weight is too high and 2 cylinders are vulnerable on bends and the third would over heat. Having said that, wouldn't it be great to have one.

I can imagine a project like a small one-man plane using this beauty!!!!! :proj:
