Broughs were rare and very expensive hand built Motorcycles produced in very Limited numbers and ridden by a National Hero (TE Lawrence).

The Z1 was a mass produced motorcycle built in big numbers and ridden by Dick Emery..... this may go some way to explaining the price difference.[/quo

A Brough Superior 800cc BS4 dating from 1932 has set a world record price for a British motorcycle, at auction in Stafford. Despite being in less-than-mint condition, the iconic British motorbike sold for £331,900 to an unnamed German collector.

The world record-setting bike was one of eight Broughs discovered in a barn in Cornwall in 2015. Long thought to have been destroyed, the bikes were discovered in a variety of conditions – some whole, some in parts, partially or wholly covered by dust and clutter.
