Britain's National Motorcycle Museum has temporarily moved Super Nero from its permanent collection to Greenham Common airfield near Newbury. The setting is central to the story. George Brown rode the motorcycle on this runway in 1966, setting what the museum records as 11 world and 16 national speed records. Six decades later, the machine has returned to the place where those runs took place.
Super Nero usually stands in the museum's fifth hall beside another of Brown's machines, Nero. Bringing it back to the former airfield changes how the motorcycle can be understood: visitors see both the engineering object and the space in which it was used. Greenham Common's control tower now serves as a heritage and visitor centre. The display also includes material connected with Brown's team, including his son Tony Brown and engineer Adrian Reynard.
The exhibition runs from 2 October to 17 December 2026. Its subject is more than a top-speed figure. Record attempts required a combination of people, mechanical work and a suitable place to ride; returning to the runway makes that relationship clearer than viewing the motorcycle away from its original setting. Super Nero is due to return to the museum's collection after the temporary display closes.
