Aston Martin just revealed a motorcycle you can ride on public roads. That sounds simple enough — except Aston Martin’s previous two motorcycles couldn’t do that. The AMB 001 launched in 2019. The AMB 001 Pro came in 2022. Both were track-only — you couldn’t register either one, couldn’t insure either one, and couldn’t ride either one anywhere except a closed circuit. The Aston Martin AMB 002 is different. It has number plates. You can register it. You can ride it to work — assuming your commute budget runs to something that will almost certainly cost more than €108,000.
Aston Martin built it with Brough Superior, the same French motorcycle company that built the first two. 300 units total. Deliveries start late 2027. Price not announced yet.
128 Horsepower, 419 Pounds, and a Frame Lighter Than a Motorcycle Helmet
Under the carbon bodywork of the Aston Martin AMB 002 sits a 1083cc V-twin making 128 horsepower. The whole bike weighs 419 pounds. Put those two numbers together and you get 305 horsepower per tonne — more than a standard Porsche 911 Carrera, which makes around 200 horsepower per tonne. The Aston Martin AMB 002 beats a Porsche on that number. Through two wheels. With no electronic safety net underneath the rider.
Brough Superior milled the frame from a single solid block of titanium. When it came off the machine, it weighed 11 pounds — roughly the same as a bag of sugar. That 11-pound frame holds a 419-pound motorcycle together. The frame holding this entire 419-pound bike together weighs about as much as three helmets.
That lightweight frame let Aston Martin and Brough Superior split the weight perfectly — 50 percent on the front wheel, 50 percent on the rear.
Most bikes are nose-heavy — the engine sits forward and the scales tip that way. The Aston Martin AMB 002 splits 50:50 front to rear. Push it into a fast corner and it goes where you point it instead of pushing wide.
Carbon Fiber, Ribbed Exhausts, and Supercar Taillights
The body panels on the Aston Martin AMB 002 are carbon fiber with the weave left visible — no paint on top. Dark, clean, and deliberately aggressive looking.
At the rear, the two exhaust pipes end in ribbed tips that echo the fin detailing Aston Martin uses across its car lineup. The taillights came directly from Aston’s hypercar design team — if you stand the Aston Martin AMB 002 next to a Valhalla, the rear lighting reads as family.
Marek Reichman designed all three AMB motorcycles. He’s the same man who designed the DB12 and the Valhalla. His rule on the Aston Martin AMB 002 was the same as on every Aston Martin car — every detail has a reason, nothing goes on just to fill space.
Brough Superior Builds Every One by Hand
Every Aston Martin AMB 002 comes out of Brough Superior’s workshop in Toulouse, France — the same place the AMB 001 and AMB 001 Pro were built. No factory line. No robots. Every motorcycle assembled by hand.
George Brough started making motorcycles in Nottingham in 1919. T.E. Lawrence — Lawrence of Arabia — bought seven of them. He died on one in 1935. Five years after that, the Luftwaffe flattened the factory and Brough Superior disappeared. In 2008 someone revived the name, packed up, and moved the whole thing to Toulouse.
Today Brough Superior makes very few motorcycles for very specific buyers — people who already own Aston Martins and think a Ducati is too ordinary. The Aston Martin AMB 002 fits that buyer exactly.
300 Units. No More After That.
Brough Superior will build 300 Aston Martin AMB 002 motorcycles. Not 300 per year — 300 total, across the entire production run. When those 300 are done, that’s it.
The AMB 001 cost €108,000. It couldn’t go on a public road. All 100 sold. The Aston Martin AMB 002 can go on a public road, has more sophisticated engineering, and came out years later. Aston Martin hasn’t announced the price but it won’t be lower than €108,00
Whether all 300 find buyers before production starts in earnest seems unlikely to be a problem. The waiting list is probably the harder number to get on.

FAQ
Will the Aston Martin AMB 002 be sold in the United States?
Aston Martin hasn’t confirmed US availability for the Aston Martin AMB 002. The bike is road legal in Europe. Whether it meets US federal motorcycle safety standards and emissions requirements for sale in America hasn’t been addressed in any official communication from Aston Martin or Brough Superior.
Do you need a special license to ride the Aston Martin AMB 002?
A standard motorcycle license covers the Aston Martin AMB 002 in most markets — it’s road legal as a standard motorcycle category vehicle, not a special category machine. Check your local licensing requirements before ordering one.
Will there be another AMB after this?
Three AMBs exist. Aston Martin hasn’t announced a fourth Aston Martin AMB 002 successor. Whether one comes depends entirely on how fast 300 units sell.
Can the Aston Martin AMB 002 be serviced at regular motorcycle dealers?
Brough Superior handles servicing for all AMB motorcycles through its authorized network. A standard motorcycle shop won’t have the tooling or parts access for the Aston Martin AMB 002 — it needs to go back to a Brough Superior service point.
