Seven years after their initial partnership, British car manufacturer Aston Martin and the“ Rolls-Royce of motorcycles” Brough Superior have released the AMB 002, Aston Martin’ s first-ever road-legal motorcycle.

When Aston Martin first partnered with Brough Superior in 2019, the two debuted the turbocharged AMB 001; however, that bike and the 225hp AMB 001 Pro that followed in 2022 were exclusively built for the track.

At the heart of the AMB 002 is its all-new 1,083cc fourstroke, water-cooled V-twin with 130hp and 81 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine features CNC-machined billet engine cases optimized for weight reduction and structural efficiency.

The new V-twin sits within a titanium frame that’ s milled from a solid billet, forming a structural spine. It weighs a fraction of a conventional design— just over 11 lb.— and Brough says the AMB 002’ s frame is key to achieving a perfect 50:50 weight distribution.

Brough also claims the bike sits at an exceptionally low center of gravity— thanks to carbon fiber body panels and fuel tank. Combined with its lightweight build of 420 lb. and low- and mid-range torque, the AMB 002 blends muscle performance with nimble athleticism.

Another unique feature Brough claims is the distinctive double-wishbone front suspension. Avoiding the compromises of conventional telescopic forks, the unique design separates steering and braking forces while maintaining control of the front-end geometry.

PRICING AND AVAILABILITY Only 300 models will be available, with initial orders now being taken for the hand-built, strictly limited AMB 002,

with deliveries starting in late 2027. Visit the Brough Superior website for ordering information.

Although no MSRP was released, considering the previous track-only models went for about $ 120,000 at the time, a realistic guess for the limited-edition AMB 002 would be well into the six-figure range.

Italian motorcycle manufacturer Moto Guzzi is celebrating its 105th anniversary with the grand opening of a completely redeveloped factory and brand new museum, both located in the town of Mandello del Lario, where Moto Guzzi was founded in 1921.

The new manufacturing site goes beyond basic motorcycle production. Moto Guzzi says its state-of-the-art factory will set a new global benchmark for the motorcycling industry.

Designed with a hyper-focus on environmental sustainability, the facility features 59,200 square feet of new industrial buildings and totals 409,000 square feet of factory space. It also includes 4,000 square feet of offices, and features brand-new automated engine assembly lines with the latest technology.

The final motorcycle assembly line is connected to the engine workshop by a fully robotized convey. At the
