The First Road-Legal Aston Martin Motorcycle Is HereAutoblogDan MihalascuSat, September 12, 2026 at 1:45 PM UTCAdd us on GoogleAutoblog and Yahoo may earn commission from links in this article.Behold the AMB 002 Roadster, the first-ever road-legal motorcycle that has Aston Martin's name on it.Developed as part of the partnership between Aston Martin and Brough Superior, the AMB 002 joins the track-only AMB 001 and AMB 001 Pro superbikes introduced in 2019 and 2022.The new road bike targets both "discerning road riders and automotive collectors," which may or may not be a hint that it could be bundled with some special edition Aston Martin cars.Designed By Aston Martin With Nods To Some Of Its CarsAston MartinStyled by the Aston Martin Design Studio, the AMB 002 Roadster uses fluid lines, compact proportions and precisely sculpted carbon fiber body elements to create a dramatic and dynamic silhouette.AdvertisementAdvertisementHighlights include the pebble smooth shape of the carbon fiber fuel tank and side fairings—which rise to meet the rider when tucked out of the slipstream—the crescent-shaped side gills that aid engine cooling and streamline the airflow, and the wire-design stalks for the low-slung mirrors.Aston MartinThere are also many details that pay tribute to iconic Aston Martin cars. Those include the reimagined side strake that pierces through the side fairing and extends forwards to encapsulate the headlamp, the twin oval exhausts with ribbed heat sinks that echo the exhaust finisher design of the Vanquish, DB12 S and DBX S, as well as the rear light blades that remind of those seen on the tails of the Aston Martin Vulcan, Valkyrie and Valhalla hypercars.To make it worthy of the Aston Martin badge, the AMB 002 Roadster also gets luxury features like the hand-crafted saddle leather seat pads, a backlit ignition button and keyless function.Brough Superior Handled The Engineering PartThe engineering side of the AMB 002 Roadster is equally spectacular, as we're talking about an all-new machine designed and engineered by Brough Superior from scratch without carry-over components.AdvertisementAdvertisementPower comes from an all-new 1,083cc four-stroke water-cooled V-Twin engine delivering 130 horsepower and 81 pound-feet of torque. The motor is tuned for strong low and mid-range torque and is said to have a smooth and thrilling top-end. No acceleration specs were provided, but the press release notes that it delivers "exhilarating performance."Aston Martin's first road bike features a low center of gravity achieved with the help of carbon fiber body panels and fuel tank, an ideal 50:50 weight distribution, as well as a lightweight build—the AMB 002 tips the scales at just under 419 pounds.Aston MartinThe AMB 002 also features interesting technical solutions such as an 11-pound titanium frame milled from a solid billet for the V-Twin engine and a double-wishbone 'Fior fork' front suspension that's said to separate steering and braking forces while maintaining precise control of the front-end geometry.Aston Martin and Brough Superior claim the front suspension leads to "outstanding steering precision and agility" as well as stability through high-speed corners and under braking— especially when braking while leaned over into a corner.AdvertisementAdvertisementGiven the exquisite design, materials and craftsmanship—the AMB 002 will be hand-built—the road bike will be made in a limited run of just 300 units. Initial orders are now being taken, with the first deliveries expected in the third-quarter of 2027.Aston MartinThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Sep 12, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
