Aston Martin debuts its first ever street legal motorcycle

Aston Martin is known for building exotic cars, but the legendary British marque is about to make some serious noise in the motorcycle world.

The company has unveiled the AMB 002 Roadster, its first-ever street-legal motorcycle — and this thing looks like it rolled straight out of a Bond movie.

Built in partnership with legendary motorcycle manufacturer Brough Superior, the AMB 002 Roadster takes the exotic styling of Aston Martin and combines it with some seriously high-end motorcycle engineering.

And unlike Aston Martin’s previous motorcycles, you can actually ride this one on the street.

130 Horsepower From a 1,083cc V-Twin

Instead of the turbocharged engine used in Aston Martin’s earlier AMB 001 and AMB 001 Pro track bikes, the AMB 002 gets an all-new naturally aspirated 1,083cc, liquid-cooled 88-degree V-twin.

The numbers are impressive:

  • 130 horsepower
  • 113 Nm of torque
  • 6-speed transmission
  • 190 kg (410 pounds)
  • 50/50 weight distribution
  • 18-liter fuel tank

The engine is built by Brough Superior at its facility in Toulouse, France, and many of its major components are CNC-machined from solid aluminum billet rather than traditional castings.

That attention to detail doesn’t come cheap — and neither does the motorcycle.

$200,000 for an Aston Martin With Two Wheels

Only 300 motorcycles will be produced worldwide, with first deliveries expected to begin in the third quarter of 2027. (Brough Superior)

So no, this isn’t going to be the next bike you see lined up at your local Harley dealership.

It’s an exotic collector’s motorcycle — but one that’s designed to be ridden rather than simply parked in a garage.

Carbon Fiber, Titanium and a Very Unusual Front End

The AMB 002 is loaded with exotic materials.

The frame is machined from a solid titanium billet and weighs just 5 kilograms. Carbon-fiber bodywork helps keep the weight down while giving the bike its unmistakable Aston Martin appearance. (AMC Networks)

Up front, there’s also something you don’t see on your average sportbike: Brough Superior’s Fior-type double-wishbone front suspension.

The system separates steering and braking forces and is designed to provide precise control of the front end.

Stopping power comes from twin 320mm front discs with four-piston radial calipers, while a 230mm rear disc handles braking duties at the back.

It Looks Like an Aston Martin — Because It Is

This might be the coolest part.

The AMB 002 wasn’t simply given an Aston Martin badge. The company’s design team, led by Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman, helped create the motorcycle’s bodywork.

There are styling cues borrowed directly from Aston Martin’s supercars and hypercars.

The side strakes are unmistakably Aston Martin, while the twin oval exhausts feature ribbed heat sinks inspired by the exhaust designs of cars including the Vanquish, DB12 S and DBX S.

Even the rear lighting takes inspiration from Aston Martin’s exotic machines, including the Vulcan, Valkyrie and Valhalla. (AMC Networks)

In other words, this isn’t a motorcycle that happens to have an Aston Martin logo on it.

It was designed to look like an Aston Martin from the ground up.

From Track Toy to Street Bike

The AMB 002 follows the AMB 001, introduced in 2019, and the even more extreme AMB 001 Pro, introduced in 2022.

Both were track-only motorcycles.

The AMB 002 changes that formula.

Aston Martin and Brough Superior are targeting road riders with a motorcycle that meets Euro 5+ requirements and is intended to be capable of road registration in major markets, including the United States, Japan, Australia, Europe and the United Kingdom. (AMC Networks)

And that’s what makes this bike particularly interesting.

It’s not simply an exotic piece of motorcycle art.

It’s an Aston Martin you can actually ride.

With only 300 being built, however, spotting one at a bike night is probably going to be about as likely as finding a Valkyrie parked next to your local diner.

But if you have around $200,000 to spare — and you’re looking for something nobody else at the stoplight has — Aston Martin just built your motorcycle.

First deliveries are expected in Q3 2027.
