The first street-legal motorcycle born from the axis of Aston Martin and Brough Superior. Titanium frame, 1083cc V-twin, and a production run limited to 300 pieces.
After making collectors worldwide dream with two sacred monsters designed exclusively for track use—the AMB 001 and the extreme AMB 001 Pro—the engineering and design partnership between Aston Martin and Brough Superior is making a massive leap forward.
Let’s not beat around the bush: the new AMB 002 Roadster is the first motorcycle bearing the Gaydon marque's badge to be fully homologated for open-road use.
Officially presented today, this two-wheeled sculpture combines the elite craftsmanship of the British atelier with the manufacturing mastery of the historic Toulouse factory, aiming straight for the hearts of the most demanding collectors and those seeking an unparalled object of cult status on the planet.

1083cc V-Twin Core and Titanium Frame: Pure Engineering
Unlike its supercharged predecessors, the AMB 002 relies on a completely brand-new power unit. Beneath the sinuous lines of the bodywork beats a 1,083cc V-twin, entirely designed, machined from solid billet, and assembled at the Brough Superior facility in Toulouse, capable of delivering 130 horsepower designed to prioritize rich power delivery and a visceral riding experience rather than simple, sterile dyno-figure chasing.
The true work of art, however, is hidden in the structure: the motorcycle rests on a spine frame made of billet titanium, weighing a mere 5 kg (11 lbs), which guarantees a precise 50:50 weight distribution. The chassis adopts an exclusive Fior fork double wishbone front-end system—an evolution of the setup seen on the AMB 001 Pro—designed to completely separate steering and braking forces, completely eliminating dive (anti-dive) even when grabbing a handful of front brake while leaned over in a corner.
Details Borrowed from Gaydon’s Hypercars
The design is a triumph of carbon fiber for the fuel tank and fairings, embellished with crescent-shaped cooling vents and aesthetic slashes borrowed directly from Aston Martin’s four-wheeled catalog.
We find clear cues to the British automotive heritage:
The Side Vents: The blade cutting across the fairing and framing the headlight recalls the proportions of street-legal supercars.
The Exhaust Tips: The dual oval exhausts boast the same fluted finish seen on flagship models like the Vanquish, DB12 S, and DBX S.
The Rear Lighting Signature: The tail LED blades are identical to those used on Aston Martin's extreme hypercars: the Vulcan, Valkyrie, and Valhalla.
Exclusivity and Pricing: The New Pinnacle of Global Collecting
With a total weight of just 190 kg (419 lbs) and a riding position designed to offer a sensation of total symbiosis with the road, the AMB 002 Roadster redefines the boundaries of two-wheeled luxury.
Order books are already open through the authorized network, with the first deliveries scheduled for the end of summer 2027. Although the official price has not yet been disclosed, considering the use of noble materials like titanium and carbon fiber and the strictly limited run of 300 units across the globe, it is easy to understand that we are looking at a collector's item destined to appreciate in value over time.
Our Pros and Cons (The Editorial Staff’s Opinion)
The Advantages:
Finally street-legal: The wait is over; now this sculptural masterpiece can be ridden outside of race circuits.
State-of-the-art chassis: The titanium frame and Fior-scheme front-end represent the absolute pinnacle of applied engineering.
Unrivaled iconic appeal: The stylistic links to Aston Martin hypercars elevate the motorcycle into a true dynamic work of art.
The Limits to Consider:
Virtually non-existent availability: With only 300 units planned, almost all of them will sell out in record time among niche collectors.
Prohibitive costs: A toy for a very select few, completely out of reach for the average motorcyclist.
