Rider Profile

Best ForNote: specs given are for the Brough Superior Pendine Sand Racer, not a model called 'Lawrence', so this profile is based on that machine; it is a low-weight, high-power exotic best suited to experienced riders confident with exotic suspension and sharp h
PurposeBuilt as a boutique performance and design showpiece rather than a true offroad enduro, blending flat-track inspired styling with road-capable sport handling.
Rider FitThe low dry weight combined with a tall 820mm seat height demands a rider with reasonable leg length and core strength to manage low-speed balance and quick direction changes.
CharacterAn exclusive, boutique machine for riders who want exotic engineering, striking bespoke styling, and visceral V2 performance over practicality.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders, commuters wanting comfort and storage, or anyone seeking a genuine long-travel offroad or touring motorcycle.

2023 Brough Superior Lawrence Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2023 Brough Superior Lawrence, with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
