Aston Martin and Brough Superior launch AMB 002 Roadster
Aston Martin and Brough Superior have revealed the AMB 002 Roadster, their first collaborative road-legal motorcycle.
Aston Martin and Brough Superior have launched the AMB 002 Roadster, their first-ever road-legal motorcycle. The limited-edition model will see first deliveries in the third quarter of 2027.
This marks a new direction for the partnership, which previously produced the track-only AMB 001 and AMB 001 Pro superbikes. The AMB 002 is built from the ground up with a distinct design, moving away from the shared platform of its predecessors. Only 300 units will be made available worldwide.
Technical Specifications
At the core of the Roadster is a newly developed 1,083cc water-cooled V-Twin engine. This powerplant produces 130 brake horsepower and 81 lb-ft of torque. The engine is cradled in a titanium frame, a standout component that weighs a mere 5 kilograms due to its solid billet construction.

Design and Features
The motorcycle's exterior carries clear Aston Martin design cues, but it is manufactured at Brough Superior's facility in Toulouse, France. Carbon fibre is used extensively for the body panels and fuel tank components. A unique front suspension system defines the bike's handling character.
It employs a double-wishbone 'Fior fork' design, an evolution of the system found on the AMB 001 Pro. This setup separates steering forces from braking forces, which Aston Martin claims offers the rider greater front-end control. The company also states the system includes anti-dive technology for "exceptional stability under braking."
Further luxury touches connect the bike to Aston Martin's automotive lineage. The rear light units are the same type used on the brand's Vulcan, Valkyrie, and Valhalla hypercars. The Roadster also comes with keyless functionality, a backlit ignition button, and hand-crafted leather seat pads.
Executive Vision
Marek Reichman, Aston Martin's Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer, commented on the project. He stated the road-legal motorcycle was a "long-term dream" following the creation of their track-only models.
"Combining the bold design aesthetic and pioneering engineering innovation which define Aston Martin and Brough Superior’s work to-date, the AMB 002 is the vivid expression of our shared passion for sculptural, visceral, covetable machines," Reichman said. He described it as an "irresistible road bike for keen motorcyclists and discerning collectors alike."
The AMB 002 Roadster represents a fusion of high-end automotive and motorcycle engineering, aimed at a exclusive clientele. Its limited production run and bespoke components position it as a collector's item as much as a performance machine. Final assembly takes place in France before the bikes are dispatched to customers.
