Say hello to the Aston Martin AMB 002, the brand’s first-ever street-legal motorcycle. It is the latest result of Aston Martin’s partnership with British motorcycle maker Brough Superior and gets a 1083 cc V-twin making 130 bhp. Deliveries are set to begin in the third quarter of 2027.
This isn’t Aston Martin’s first motorcycle. The company teamed up with Brough Superior in 2019 to create the AMB 001, followed by the even more focused AMB 001 Pro in 2022. Both were track-only machines. The AMB 002 changes that by bringing Aston Martin’s motorcycle project to the road for the first time.
Power comes from a 1083 cc, 88-degree V-twin producing 130 bhp and 110 Nm. It is paired with a six-speed gearbox and sits in a motorcycle that weighs a claimed 190 kg. The engine is also part of the structure of the bike, helping keep weight down and giving the AMB 002 a claimed 50:50 weight distribution.
The frame itself is made from titanium and weighs just 5kg. Up front, the AMB 002 uses Brough Superior’s unusual Fior fork, which replaces the conventional telescopic fork found on most motorcycles. Braking comes from twin 320 mm front discs with four-piston callipers, while the rear gets a 230 mm disc.
Visually, there is no mistaking where this motorcycle came from. The bodywork is largely made from carbon fibre, while the sculpted tank and exposed mechanical parts give it a deliberately exotic appearance. Aston Martin’s signature side-strake design has also been adapted for the bike, while the twin exhausts feature detailing inspired by the exhaust finishers used on some of the company’s cars.
The rear gets another Aston Martin touch, with its lighting design taking inspiration from the company’s hypercars, including the Vulcan, Valkyrie and Valhalla. There are also plenty of details that make it feel more like a hand-built special than a conventional production motorcycle, including a leather seat, keyless operation and a backlit ignition button.
Production will take place at Brough Superior’s facility in Toulouse, France, with every AMB 002 assembled by hand. Only 300 examples will be built, making this as much of a collector’s piece as it is a performance motorcycle. Aston Martin has yet to announce the price, although the limited production run, titanium construction and extensive use of carbon fibre suggest this won’t be competing with your average superbike on the price front.
