The collaboration between Aston Martin and Brough Superior is now available for public road use with the launch of the AMB 002 Roadster. This model is the first motorcycle from the partnership to be homologated for road circulation, unlike previous versions, the AMB 001 and AMB 001 Pro, which were exclusive to race tracks.
Production of this new version will be limited to 300 units globally, with deliveries expected to begin in late 2027, although the price has not yet been disclosed.
According to Brough Superior, the AMB 002 is not a simplified adaptation of the AMB 001, but rather a project conceived entirely from scratch. However, it preserves the characteristic materials of the duo: fairings and tank made of carbon fiber, double wishbone front suspension, and a chassis machined from a single block of titanium, an uncommon technology even in racing motorcycles.
This model is equipped with a 1,083 cc V-twin engine, generating 130 horsepower and 11.2 kgfm of torque, data provided by the manufacturer itself. This power is significantly lower than the 228 hp of the AMB 001 Pro, which did not need to comply with noise and emission regulations, and slightly exceeds the Ducati Panigale V2, which produces 122 hp with 890 cc.
Brough Superior specified that the weight of the AMB 002 is 190 kg, without detailing whether this figure refers to dry weight or curb weight. The double wishbone front suspension was designed to control the bike's sag during braking, a concept similar to that used on the Honda Gold Wing.
Each unit will be manually assembled at the Brough Superior factory located in Toulouse, France, which also produced the previous models of the partnership. Although the announcement does not mention prices, the history of the line offers references: the AMB 001, limited to 100 units, was launched in 2020 for 108 thousand euros (equivalent to R$ 642 thousand). The Pro version, limited to 88 examples and with 228 hp, was announced for approximately 200 thousand pounds in the British market (about R$ 1.3 million).
It is important to note that none of the three motorcycles have been officially marketed in Brazil, a country where Aston Martin operates only with automobiles. However, the approval for public road use changes the product profile, allowing the partnership motorcycle to be licensed and used outside circuits, which should increase collector interest.
