Aston Martin and Brough Superior have revealed the AMB 002 Roadster, the first road-legal motorcycle created through their collaboration. Previous AMB models were designed for track use, while the new machine has been engineered from the outset for owners who want the partnership’s design language on public roads.
Production is limited to 300 individually built motorcycles, with first deliveries scheduled for the third quarter of 2027. The project combines Aston Martin’s design input with Brough Superior’s specialist motorcycle engineering and manufacturing in Toulouse.
A new 1083cc V-twin produces 130bhp
The AMB 002 uses a newly developed 1083cc water-cooled V-twin rated at 130bhp and 110Nm. Aston Martin says the engine has been tuned around strong low- and mid-range response rather than creating a narrowly focused track power delivery.
The motorcycle weighs 190kg, helping the engine output translate into a high power-to-weight ratio without relying on a very large displacement. Brough Superior machines the engine cases from billet as part of an in-house production approach centred on low-volume manufacturing.
A five-kilogram titanium frame forms the structural core
The new engine sits within a titanium backbone frame milled from solid billet and weighing approximately five kilograms. Together with carbon-fibre bodywork and fuel tank, the structure is intended to centralise mass and contribute to a claimed 50:50 weight distribution.
At the front, Brough Superior uses its double-wishbone Fior suspension architecture rather than a conventional telescopic fork. The arrangement separates steering and braking forces and is designed to reduce dive under heavy braking while maintaining consistent front-end geometry.
Aston Martin details move beyond simple badging
The bodywork incorporates references to Aston Martin road cars, including a reinterpreted side strake, twin oval exhaust outlets and rear light blades influenced by the Vulcan, Valkyrie and Valhalla. Carbon-fibre surfaces are mixed with hand-finished saddle leather and small luxury details such as a backlit ignition control.
The styling remains recognisably a motorcycle rather than attempting to reproduce a car in miniature. That distinction matters because the strongest collaborations allow each partner’s design language to influence the object without disguising its fundamental purpose.
Orders are open ahead of 2027 deliveries
Aston Martin says initial orders are now being accepted for the hand-built production run. With only 300 examples planned, the AMB 002 sits firmly in the collector end of the motorcycle market while retaining the ability to be used on the road.
For yacht owners, compact high-performance motorcycles are not realistic tender-garage toys on most 12–24m boats, but the AMB 002 belongs to the same ownership world. It is a highly engineered object designed to combine movement, material quality and rarity rather than existing only as a static collectible.
