British luxury marque Aston Martin has revealed the AMB 002 Roadster, a road-legal motorcycle that follows its track-only predecessor, the AMB 001. Priced at approximately £120,000, the AMB 002 Roadster is an exclusive offering, with only 300 units slated for production, targeting the brand's most loyal customers.

The new motorcycle is a collaboration with Brough Superior, a historic British brand renowned for its ultra-luxury, high-performance motorcycles before World War II. Brough Superior is notably associated with T.E. Lawrence, also known as Lawrence of Arabia, who owned eight of the marque's motorcycles during his lifetime. He tragically died in 1935 following a crash on one of his Brough Superior SS100 models.

Developed by the Aston Martin Design Studio, the AMB 002 Roadster features a distinct forward-biased stance engineered around the rider's body position. The design incorporates a carbon-fiber fuel tank and rising side fairings to support the rider when in a slipstream. Crescent-shaped gills are integrated into the bodywork to enhance engine cooling and airflow. The motorcycle weighs 190kg, with design elements like wire-design stalks for mirrors contributing to its low mass. Exposed mechanical components add to the visual drama, a contrast to the bike's clean lines.

Design inspirations from Aston Martin's automobiles are evident, with twin oval exhausts reminiscent of those on the Vanquish, DB12 S, and DBX S. The rear light blades are inspired by similar elements found on Aston Martin's Vulcan, Valkyrie, and Valhalla hypercars.

The AMB 002 Roadster combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. It features a hand-crafted leather saddle alongside features like keyless locking and a digitally remastered instrument cluster. The bike is powered by a bespoke 1,083cc four-stroke, water-cooled V-twin engine producing 130bhp and 110Nm of torque. While not focused on extreme horsepower figures common in modern superbikes, the engine is tuned for strong low and mid-range torque, offering a rewarding on-road experience.

Brough Superior, known for its meticulous craftsmanship, is responsible for developing the engine and will manufacture many components. The AMB 002 Roadster will be hand-built at Brough Superior's factory in Toulouse, France. The engine casings are CNC-machined from billet aluminum, and the 5kg frame is milled from solid titanium. Aston Martin claims the motorcycle achieves a balanced 50:50 weight distribution and a low center of gravity when the rider is aboard, facilitating maneuverability.
