Aston Martin has put its name on motorcycles before, but never on one designed for public roads. The new AMB 002 Roadster changes that, becoming the first road-legal motorcycle created through the marque’s partnership with Brough Superior, following the track-only AMB 001 and AMB 001 Pro.
Designed by Aston Martin’s studio and engineered from scratch by Brough Superior, the AMB 002 retains the collaboration’s sculptural approach while adapting it for road use. Carbon-fibre bodywork wraps around a compact, forward-biased form, with crescent-shaped cooling gills, low-set mirrors and a reworked version of Aston Martin’s familiar side strake. At the rear, slim light blades reference the Vulcan, Valkyrie, and Valhalla, while the twin oval exhausts borrow visual cues from the Vanquish, DB12 S, and DBX S.
The newly developed 1,083 cc water-cooled V-twin produces 130 bhp and 110 Nm and is mounted within a titanium backbone frame milled from solid billet. The frame weighs just 5 kg and helps achieve a 50:50 weight distribution, while the carbon-fibre panels and fuel tank contribute to a low centre of gravity. Overall weight is 190 kg.
Brough Superior’s distinctive double-wishbone Fior front suspension replaces conventional telescopic forks, separating steering and braking forces while reducing dive under braking. The riding position is also more upright than on the earlier track-only machines, reflecting the AMB 002’s more usable road-going character.
Production will be limited to 300 individually built examples, with first deliveries scheduled for the third quarter of 2027.
