Aston Martin’s First Street Motorcycle Is Just as Bonkers as You’d ThinkGear PatrolgvandykeUpdatedWed, September 9, 2026 at 5:09 PM UTCAdd us on GoogleThe automaker continues its work with Brough Superior through an exotic two-wheeler that seems far too otherworldly for public roads.If you buy from a link, we may earn a commission. Learn moreA few years ago, I was lucky enough to get a few minutes to photograph an Aston Martin AMB 001 in the metal, and it's a high that I'm still chasing today.Between the eye-watering price tag, the breathtaking bodywork and the ludicrous turbocharged V-twin, it's easily the most exotic bike I've ever had the privilege of adding to my camera roll. I wish it weren't track-only so that more riders might have the chance to do the same.Those few minutes with an AMB 001 still live rent-free in my head. - Credit: Gray Van DykeThankfully, Aston Martin and Brough Superior seem to share my sentiments. The pair just announced a new two-wheeled stunner called the AMB 002; unlike its predecessors, the bike is legal for public roads. Road-legal two-wheeled excessNow, even though this means that the model doesn't bring quite the same levels of insanity as the AMB 001 and AMB 001 Pro, it's hardly lacking in material appeal. The AMB 002 brings the requisite provisions for road legality, but the design doesn't compromise. - Credit: Aston MartinFor instance, Aston and Brough say the AMB 002 features an all-new 1,083cc water-cooled V-twin. While the engine is rated for a more manageable 130 horsepower and 81 lb-ft of torque, it's still assembled in Toulouse, France with top-shelf components like CNC-machined cases to save weight.AdvertisementAdvertisementToward that end, the AMB 002 also comes built around a new trick titanium backbone frame. Milled from a solid billet, it supposedly tips the scales at just 11 pounds altogether while also giving the bike a perfect 50:50 weight distribution.Aston Martin has used extensive carbon fiber to keep weight (and the center of gravity) low. - Credit: Aston MartinNot content to stop there, Aston Martin and Brough Superior even say they've reworked the front suspension. Though it remains based on the latter's double-wishbone Fior system, it now benefits from improvements in input and response to complement its anti-dive behavior.Aston luxury comes in all shapesIn keeping with the AMB 002's alluring specs, the bike also rocks a truly otherworldly design. Aston Martin and Brough might have created it for public roads, but it refuses to make any compromises.The AMB 002 doesn't feature conventional forks; it uses Brough's double-wishbone Fior system. - Credit: Aston MartinThat's because, from the long and low profile to the carbon fiber bodywork, the AMB 002 echoes much of what made its predecessors so striking. Even with lights, mirrors and a license plate holder, it doesn't look anything like a typical street bike.AdvertisementAdvertisementHowever, at the same time, Aston Martin hasn't borrowed too much from previous designs. Along with some large crescent-shaped gills, it wears dramatically different lower bodywork.Aston Martin says the AMB 002 brings keyless start, just like its road cars. - Credit: Aston MartinMoreover, it features some choice touches that speak to the automaker's current four-wheeled pursuits. Along with its iconic side-strake, Aston says the AMB 002 replicates other distinctive brand designs such as the rear lights on the Vulcan, Valkyrie and Valhalla hypercars, as well as the exhaust finishers of the Vanquish, DB12 S and DBX S.The rear light signature is meant to echo the Vulcan, Valkyrie and Valhalla hypercars. - Credit: Aston MartinAvailability and pricingAccording to the announcement from Aston Martin and Brough Superior, AMB 002 production will be limited to just 300 units. Deliveries are estimated for Q3 2027.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe brands haven't disclosed pricing, but the AMB 001 went for around $120,000 when new. Even if MSRP is comparable, I'm hoping that road legality means there's some chance of spotting one in the wild.
