I believe that these were only made for the Japanese domestic market, although a few did sneak out.

Isn't it a Honda thingy? Didn't they come free with some SUV or other?

Speaking of bikes, does anyone know what kind of bike Peter O'Toole is riding at the beginning of the film Lawrence of Arabia?

 

[Nickwiz]

Here's the real Lawrence of Arabia. I t was a brough superior though in the movie Im not sure if they used a real Brough.

Nick, BRILLIANT! Thanks for that.
I just saw it on TV last night and really like the tone of the exhaust on that bike.

I watched it last night and the first thing I said to the wife was he is riding a ........I was wrong the brough go from 20,000 to 3,000,000 becuase of the connection to Lawrence....

Sorry,
The bike in the picture IS NOT a Brough Superior
and I am sure that Lawrence never rode one of these.

What is it then?

This is one looks mighty similar to my untrained eye:

He most certainly did ride a Brough:

There is plent of written and photogrphic evidence that Lawrence road a Brough and the one in the picture looks to me like a Brough.

 

[Legman]

I think Wombat was saying that the bike in the first post of this thread is not a Brough.....sorta trying to get the thread back on topic.....

 

[daytonacharlie]

I think it came in the box with my kid's happy meal from McDogfood!

[Nickwiz]

So was I wrong about it being a Honda freebie with SUV type things then? I think its called a MotorCampo or something

Sorry bob but he did wikepedia has some photos and also talks about how he has increased the value on the old bikes.

 

[Wombat]

Thank you Lee,

I am well aware that Lawrence rode a Brough, but as this thread WAS NOT about Broughs but about the mini bike in the photo I posted, MY comment was in relation to Lawrence NOT riding a mini bike as in MY pic.

I saw a white one at the Virginia British Bike show this past October.

 

[iceman]

can you give us a clue Wombat - is is petrol or electric?

Looks like something James Bond would get out of his suitcase for a high speed pursuit.

[Wombat]

OK.
3 clues:
1. Lawrence of Arabia never owned one
2. It is not a Brough Superior
3. It runs on gasoline

Does it come in the tool kit of a new Ducati? :???:

 

[tba-golfer]

You were a tad subtle there Wombat... took a while for me to catch on...

Maybe the sun's rays are affecting you...

better put a thong on those substantial hams!

(Gaack!)


:-D
