The engine produces 130 horsepower and 81 lb-ft of torque, with power tuned specifically for accessible low- and mid-range torque on public roads.The powertrain is mounted within a CNC-machined titanium backbone frame that weighs just 11 pounds (5 kg). Coupled with carbon-fiber body panels and a fuel tank designed to lower the center of gravity, the motorcycle achieves a dry curb weight of 419 pounds (190 kg) and a 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution. Up front, the bike utilizes a Fior double-wishbone fork setup, separating steering geometry from braking forces to eliminate front-end dive during hard stops.aston martin is having trouble selling cars now it has a motorcycleAston Martin Design Cues and Delivery ScheduleVisual styling for the AMB 002 Roadster originated in the Aston Martin Design Studio under Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman.
