Built with Brough Superior, the AMB 002 Roadster brings Aston Martin’s design language to two wheels in a 300-example limited run.
Aston Martin has spent more than a century making an impression on four wheels. Now, in collaboration with Brough Superior, it has created something altogether leaner, rarer and more exposed.
The AMB 002 Roadster is the first street-legal motorcycle to emerge from the partnership between the British marques, following the track-only AMB 001 and AMB 001 Pro. Unlike those earlier machines, this one was conceived from the outset for the road, giving collectors and riders something they can actually use beyond a closed circuit.
That distinction matters because the AMB 002 does not feel like a race bike softened for public streets. It was engineered from scratch as its own machine, without carry-over componentry, and its proportions reflect that purpose. The riding position is upright, the visual mass sits low and forward, and the carbon-fiber bodywork wraps tightly around the mechanicals rather than hiding them.
The result is unmistakably Aston Martin, though never in a literal way.
A reinterpretation of the marque’s side strake sweeps forward toward the headlamp, while twin oval exhausts reference details found elsewhere in the Aston Martin family. At the rear, narrow blades of light echo the treatment seen on cars such as the Vulcan, Valkyrie and Valhalla. Keyless operation, a backlit ignition button and hand-finished leather saddle pads add just enough grand-touring polish to remind you where the design conversation began.
Underneath the carbon fiber is a new 1,083cc, water-cooled V-twin designed, machined and assembled by Brough Superior in Toulouse. It produces 130 bhp and 110 Nm of torque, with the emphasis placed not on chasing extreme top-end numbers but on the low- and mid-range response that matters most on the road.
That focus is important. On paper, the AMB 002 is exotic enough to satisfy a collector, but Brough Superior has clearly approached it as a motorcycle meant to be ridden rather than merely displayed.
Its titanium frame is CNC-machined, while the front end uses Brough Superior’s Fior-style double-wishbone suspension in place of a conventional fork. The system separates steering and braking forces, allowing the front geometry to remain more composed under braking and through fast corners. It is the sort of engineering detail that sounds esoteric until you understand the intention: greater precision without sacrificing confidence.
The visual drama, then, is only half the point.
“What began as an ambitious union of two historic British names has evolved into a powerhouse of luxury co-creation,” Aston Martin’s Stefano Saporetti said when the motorcycle was revealed. Marek Reichman, Aston Martin’s executive vice president and chief creative officer, has described a road-going Aston Martin motorcycle as a long-held ambition following the AMB 001 and AMB 001 Pro.
Only 300 AMB 002 Roadsters will be built, each individually assembled, with first deliveries expected to begin in the third quarter of 2027. Orders are already being taken.
That scarcity will inevitably make the AMB 002 appealing to collectors, particularly those already drawn to Aston Martin’s increasingly expansive world of design. But the more interesting proposition is that this is not simply another branded object destined for a climate-controlled garage.
It is a road bike.
For the first time, an Aston Martin motorcycle has been designed to leave the paddock, pass through the gates and disappear into traffic.
And somehow, that feels far more provocative than keeping it on a pedestal.
