New Delhi:Aston Martin is bringing its distinctive design elements to a motorcycle that can finally be ridden on public roads. Developed alongside Brough
Superior, the AMB 002 Roadster is the brand’s first collaboration that has resulted in a street-legal motorcycle.
The partnership has in the past brought the AMB 001 and AMB 001 Pro. Both were designed exclusively for track use. Unlike those machines, the new AMB 002 Roadster can be registered and used on everyday roads.
Aston Martin’s chief creative officer Marek Reichman noted that building a road-going motorcycle was always part of the longer-term vision for the partnership. The AMB 002 Roadster brings the technology and design ideas made through the earlier track bikes and adapts them for street riding.
Production will be restricted to only 300 examples, with every motorcycle being made by hand. Aston Martin plans to start customer deliveries in the third quarter of 2027. This would give buyers about a year before the first bikes arrive. Brough Superior president Thierry Henriette felt that the motorcycle stands apart through both its styling and riding character.

AMB 002 Roadster takes styling cues from newest car lineup
The AMB 002 Roadster carries many design elements from Aston Martin’s current performance-car lineup. Its bodywork features visual cues reminiscent of models like the Vanquish, Valkyrie and Valhalla. That connection is particularly relevant for Aston Martin collectors, letting owners of the company’s cars an opportunity to add a limited-production motorcycle with a similarly recognisable design identity to their collection.
Power comes from a newly built 1,083cc, four-stroke, liquid-cooled V-twin engine. Rather than adapting an existing Brough Superior motor, the powerplant was developed specifically for the AMB 002 Roadster. It produces 130 horsepower and 110 Nm of torque. Despite its performance, the motorcycle weighs only 190 kgs.
Aston Martin says achieving an even 50:50 weight distribution was an important part of the engineering process. The bike is also made almost completely from the ground up, with the engine, chassis and running gear specifically engineered for road use. Nothing is being carried over from the earlier track-focused models.
One of its most unusual features is the titanium chassis, which weighs just 11 pounds. The front suspension is equally distinctive, using a double-wishbone Fior fork instead of the traditional telescopic fork found on most production motorcycles.
While the AMB 001 Pro was designed around track performance, Aston Martin says the AMB 002 Roadster comes with a different vibe. The new motorcycle is intended to deliver an engaging experience on public roads while being exclusive and running in limited numbers.
