Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a boutique, exotic machine best suited to experienced riders who appreciate exclusive engineering over raw practicality.
PurposeIt is built as a low-volume, art-meets-engineering roadster for spirited riding and showcasing exotic chassis technology rather than as a dedicated tourer or off-roader.
Rider FitThe 810 mm seat height and 200 kg dry weight demand a confident, moderately fit rider, though the mass is low and well balanced for its class.
CharacterRiders drawn to this bike want an unconventional, hand-built Fior-type front suspension and titanium chassis that turns heads and rewards mechanical curiosity as much as outright performance.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for riders seeking a comfortable long-distance tourer, an off-road capable machine, or an affordable, easy-to-maintain daily commuter.

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 Dagger, 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.
