This perfectionist dreamed of the world’s most perfect premium motorcy- cle and therefore named his motorcycle “Brave Superior”. The most famous model in the history of the brand - “SS 100” debuted in 1924. each motorcycle was provided with a special certificate verifying the fact that 100 mph was indeed achieved during the motorcycle testing. Brough Superior was named “Rolls-Royce among Motorcycles”. These motorcycles were collect- ed by the national hero of Great Britain and the brilliant adventurer Lawrence of Arabia, riding one of them he tragically finished his vivid life journey.

By the end of the 1930s the Japanese broke off rela- tions with the Americans and signed a contract with the company “Nihon Nai-Enki” for the production of motorcycle with 1340-cc flat-head engine, named Kurogane - “Black Iron”. Motorcycles Kurogane Type 95 were used primarily for the transport of officers. The cre- ators of the motorcycle largely copied Harley-Davidson, but added quite a few original solutions. Today Kurogane Type 95 is one of the rarest motorcycles in the world. «Motorworld» collection Civil elite Austria 20. BMW R66 (1938) 39. ТИЗ-АМ-600 (1938) 1. Puch 350GS (1939) 21.

The first Mars A20 made in 1920 all was woven of original technical and design solutions. L-head boxer 956 cc engine was produced by Maybach. The basis of the motorcycle was a box-type framework, in which were located fuel and oil tanks, as well as a glove box. The engine was started by a rotating handle through a special drive. “White Mars” had been producing before 1932 and still considered to be an engineering and design mas- terpiece. Museum concept «Motorworld by V.Sheyanov» provides a comprehensive and objective view of the Golden Age of motorcycle industry. To achieve this, we gather around the world and restore mo- torcycles to the «like new» condition. Our collection consists of 3 the major branches: 1 Elite military motorcycles. Elite military motorcycles. Specially designed military series motorcycles with engine capacities of over 800 ccm, motorcycles with side-car wheel drive and four-cylinder motorcycles. The most powerful, reliable and traversible machines. The right to be considered an elite military motorcycle was given by State approval, mass production and war. In this branch «Motorworld by V.Sheyanov» assembled the most comprehensive collection in the World. 2 Elite civil motorcycles. Each of the selected iconic motorcycles was once an engineering break- through at humanity’s path to perfection in the Golden Age. 3 Tricycles. These trikes and half-tracked combat vehicles, special excellence in the creation of which reached the Italian engineers. «Motorworld» has the most representative collection of tricycles in the World. The core The spirit of the Golden Age of motorcycle industry found the most vivid embodiment in motorcycles with an engine capacity of 800 cc. “Heavy motorcycles” were engineering masterpieces and cost as a house, but motorcycle lovers were ready to pay any money for owning a steel alloy of power and speed. The core of the Motorworld’s collection is made up of heavy motorcycles. They were pro- duced in 14 countries and we collected almost all of them. To study all about Golden Age of motorcycle industry, we supplemented the core of the collection with specialized, national and proprietary lines of motorcycles, and also assembled a unique collection of tricycles. 1.

Mars A20 (военная версия) Gillet Herstal 720 AF Belgium, 1939 By 1939, the need for the French army in army motorcycles had greatly increased. The supplier of the military company Gnome-Rhône was choking with new orders. The French were forced to look for new suppliers for the army from their neighbors. Accord- ing to the test results, Belgian Gillet Herstal 720 was chosen. First 50 motorcycles were almost ready when the German company Bosch, which manufactured electrical equip- ment for a motorcycle, refused an order, and on May 10, 1940, Germany attacked Bel- gium. As a result, 784 motorcycles went off the assembly line to the Wehrmacht. Thematic collection lines Sidecar whell-drive (SWD) 4-cylinder motorcycles 11. Harley-Davidson WLA 6. Gnome-Rhône ХА 750 12.
