Aston Martin Just Built a Street-Legal Motorcycle—And Only 300 Will Ever Exist
It looks like something that escaped from a secret design studio—and this time, it is actually allowed on the road.
Aston Martin and Brough Superior have revealed the AMB 002 Roadster, the first road-legal motorcycle created by their partnership. The two companies previously produced the track-only AMB 001 and AMB 001 Pro, but the new machine was designed from the beginning for real roads.
Only 300 individually built examples are planned. First deliveries are scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2027.
It is more than an Aston Martin badge
The headline-grabbing badge may bring people through the door, but the engineering underneath is the real story.
At the center of the AMB 002 is a newly developed 1,083cc water-cooled V-twin engine producing a claimed 130 horsepower and 110 Nm of torque. Aston Martin and Brough Superior say the engine cases are machined from solid billets and assembled at Brough Superior’s headquarters in Toulouse, France.
The frame is even more unusual. Its central titanium structure is milled from a solid billet and weighs just 5 kilograms. Carbon-fiber bodywork and fuel-tank components help keep the complete motorcycle to a claimed 190 kilograms, with a 50:50 weight distribution.
The front suspension is hiding one of its biggest secrets
Look closely at the front wheel and you will notice that the AMB 002 does not use an ordinary pair of telescopic forks.
It has a double-wishbone “Fior fork” system that separates steering and braking forces. According to the manufacturers, the layout is intended to reduce dive under braking while preserving the steering geometry—even when the motorcycle is braking through a corner.
The design also borrows visual details from Aston Martin’s cars. Its side strake passes through the fairing and surrounds the headlight, the twin oval exhausts echo recent Aston Martin exhaust finishers, and the rear light blades reference the Valkyrie, Valhalla and Vulcan.
The number that will make collectors move quickly
Three hundred motorcycles is a tiny production run by normal standards. Every AMB 002 will be hand-built, and Aston Martin says initial orders are already being accepted.
The company has not listed a public price in its announcement. That missing number may be the only understated thing about the machine. Its earlier track-only siblings were aimed at serious collectors, and the carbon fiber, titanium and billet-machined construction make clear that this will not be an ordinary showroom motorcycle.
Would you ride it—or display it?
That may be the question that defines the AMB 002. It has a real license-plate mount, road equipment, an upright riding position and an engine tuned for low- and mid-range torque. Yet it also looks like the sort of limited-edition object that could spend its life under museum lighting.
With 130 horsepower, a 190-kilogram claimed weight and just 300 examples planned, Aston Martin’s first road-going motorcycle collaboration is built to start arguments as easily as it starts conversations.
Would you ride one every chance you got, or preserve it as a collector’s piece?
