Aston Martin has officially entered a new chapter in its motorcycle story. The British luxury carmaker has unveiled the AMB 002 Roadster, its first-ever road-legal motorcycle, developed in partnership with renowned motorcycle manufacturer Brough Superior.
Unlike Aston Martin’s earlier AMB 001 and AMB 001 Pro, which were built exclusively for the track, the new AMB 002 has been designed specifically for road use. And it is every bit as dramatic as you would expect from an Aston Martin.
At the heart of the AMB 002 is an all-new 1,083cc, four-stroke, water-cooled V-Twin engine producing 130 bhp and 110 Nm of torque. Aston Martin says the engine has been tuned to deliver strong low- and mid-range torque while maintaining a smooth and exciting top-end power delivery.
The performance-focused engine sits inside an unusual titanium frame, which is machined from a solid billet and weighs just 5 kg. Combined with extensive use of carbon fibre, the motorcycle weighs only 190 kg and achieves a 50:50 weight distribution.
The suspension setup is equally unusual. The AMB 002 uses Brough Superior’s distinctive double-wishbone Fior fork at the front. The system separates steering and braking forces and is designed to improve stability, steering precision and braking performance, particularly when the bike is leaned over in corners.
Visually, the AMB 002 carries a clear Aston Martin identity. Its carbon-fibre bodywork, sculpted fuel tank and side fairings are joined by the brand’s signature side-strake. The twin oval exhausts feature ribbed heat sinks inspired by Aston Martin’s high-performance cars, while the rear light design takes inspiration from models such as the Valkyrie and Valhalla.
But this motorcycle will be far from common.
Aston Martin and Brough Superior will build just 300 examples of the AMB 002 Roadster worldwide, with every motorcycle individually hand-built at Brough Superior’s headquarters in Toulouse, France. Initial orders are already being taken, while deliveries are scheduled to begin in Q3 2027.
The AMB 002 is therefore more than just Aston Martin’s first road-legal motorcycle. It is a limited-production machine that combines exotic engineering, carbon fibre, titanium construction and Aston Martin’s unmistakable design language in a package aimed at both serious riders and collectors.
For a company best known for four-wheeled performance machines, Aston Martin’s move into road-going motorcycles is certainly one of its most unexpected—and most interesting—steps yet.
