Vincent "Nero" and "Super Nero" |
||
|
George Brown most famous bike, "Nero". Seen here at the 2006 Festival of 1000 Bikes and at its home in the National Motorcycle Museum. In Brighton in 1958, Nero covered a standing kilometre in 19.29 seconds and with a final speed of 186mph became the fastest man on two wheels. The bike was built from the burnt out remains of a Rapide with AJS Porcupine front wheel and forks. The Super-nero was much more of a purpose-built machine with a supercharged 1000cc engine and a lightweight tubular frame. BUt even with this machine the engine and transmission parts came from production Vincent bikes and the heavy duty internals from the Picador engine built for pilotless target planes. |
