- First road-legal motorcycle from Aston Martin
- 1,083cc liquid cooled V-twin
- Limited to 300 units, deliveries from Q3 2027
This new limited run Aston Martin AMB 002 Roadster is the first street-legal motorcycle created through Aston Martin and Brough Superior’s partnership. Orders are already being accepted and the first deliveries are scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2027. Production will be limited to just 300 individually built motorcycles.
The earlier AMB 001 and AMB 001 Pro were track-only machines. AMB 002 is finally something that can wear a registration plate. The mechanical package, riding position and chassis have all been developed around road use rather than trying to make a competition-focused motorcycle slightly more civilised.
Design team has kept the motorcycle compact and visually front-heavy, with carbon-fibre bodywork flowing around the fuel tank and engine. The side panels rise towards the rider, while crescent-shaped openings have been incorporated to help engine cooling and manage airflow. The company’s familiar side strake has been reinterpreted through the side fairing and runs forward towards the headlamp. Twin oval exhaust outlets use ribbed detailing influenced by cars such as the Vanquish, DB12 S and DBX S.
At the rear, thin light blades echo the tail-light treatment used on Aston Martin’s Vulcan, Valkyrie and Valhalla, while the low-mounted mirrors sit on very slender supports. Keyless operation, a backlit ignition switch and hand-finished leather seat pads bring in some of the luxury touches as the company’s cars have them.
An entirely new 1,083cc liquid-cooled 88-degree V-Twin offers 130bhp and 110Nm on tap. Brough Superior says it has concentrated on strong low- and mid-range torque. Claimed weight is just 190kg. Also rather than using a conventional steel trellis or aluminium twin-spar structure, the AMB 002 employs a CNC-machined titanium backbone. Aston Martin says the main frame weighs only around 5kg and contributes to a 50:50 weight distribution.
The AMB 002 uses Brough Superior’s Fior-type double-wishbone suspension rather than normal telescopic forks. A set of machined aluminium links separates the steering and suspension functions and works with an adjustable monoshock providing 100mm of front travel.
One of the main advantages of this layout is reduced dive under braking. A conventional fork compresses heavily when the rider brakes hard, changing the geometry and weight distribution of the motorcycle. The Fior system is designed to separate much of that braking force from the suspension movement.
In theory, that means the AMB 002 should remain more settled when braking hard into a corner, particularly when some steering angle is already being applied. Brough Superior also claims improved front-end accuracy and stability at higher speeds.
At the rear is a machined aluminium swingarm pivoting through the engine crankcases, with 124mm of travel and a progressive linkage. Both front and rear monoshocks offer preload and rebound adjustment.
All 300 bikes will be individually built, with first deliveries planned for Q3 2027 if you have the money and patience for it.
