Aston Martin's first road legal bike: carbon fibre body, 130 bhp, only 300 units

Aston Martin, known for its luxury cars, has now taken a big step into the motorcycle segment. The company has teamed up with Brough Superior to unveil the AMB 002 Roadster, and the notable part is that this is the first motorcycle from the Aston Martin collaboration that is allowed on public roads. The earlier AMB 001 and AMB 001 Pro were built only for track use, not for the road.

The bike's design clearly carries echoes of Aston Martin's cars. The bodywork uses a large amount of carbon fibre, along with a titanium chassis machined from a single block of metal that weighs just 5 kg. This lightness has helped keep the bike's overall weight down to 190 kg, and the company has achieved a 50:50 weight distribution.

On power, the bike gets a new 1,083cc liquid cooled V-twin engine. This engine produces 130 bhp and 110 Nm of torque. The engine has been tuned specifically to deliver strong torque at low and medium RPM. This means the bike has been designed not just for speed, but for easy and controlled riding on the road as well.

On suspension, the AMB 002 gets Brough Superior's double wishbone Fior front suspension. Its purpose is to reduce front end dive under braking, keeping the bike more stable while cornering. The design also uses Aston Martin's signature side strakes and a tail light inspired by its hypercars.

This motorcycle will not be built on a large scale. Only 300 units of the AMB 002 Roadster will be made, and each bike will be hand built. Deliveries to the first customers are planned to begin from the third quarter of 2027. This makes the bike stand apart from ordinary premium motorcycles, positioned instead as a special, limited collector's item.
