Aston Martin x Brough AMB 001 Motorcycle

Brough Superior earned its reputation as the Rolls Royce bike brand of the motorcycling world, building two-wheelers so exquisite that a well-preserved example sold for nearly $500,000 at auction in 2014. Now that legacy meets Aston Martin in the AMB 001, a track-only, carbon-fibre hyperbike with a 180hp turbocharged V-twin, limited to just 100 examples and priced around 108,000 euros (close to $120,000).

Why is Brough Superior called the Rolls Royce of motorcycles?

If you know anything about motorcycles, chances are you recognize Brough Superior as the Rolls Royce of the motorcycling world. Their bikes have always stolen the show with massive prices at auction, with a well-preserved example snatching nearly $500,000 in 2014. That blend of hand-built craftsmanship, exclusivity, and engineering excellence is exactly what makes any Brough Superior so coveted, and it set the stage for one of the most unexpected collaborations in modern motoring.

What is the Aston Martin AMB 001?

In a rather unconventional collaboration, Aston Martin joined forces with the legendary British motorcycle manufacturer. The result is the AMB 001, a track-only machine that marks the first time Aston Martin has ever appeared on a motorcycle. It carries the same focus on performance found in the Valkyrie hypercar, using a 997cc turbocharged V-twin engine producing 180hp paired to a lightweight carbon-fibre frame, keeping the weight to an impressive sub-180kg. According to Aston Martin, the machine is built in a limited run of 100 units in Toulouse, France.

How much does the AMB 001 cost?

Styling-wise, the touch of Aston Martin is easy to spot. A strake runs across the fuel tank and ends up separating the digital display. Instead of traditional telescopic forks, suspension relies on a CNC-machined double-wishbone setup at the front, with parts tailored specifically for this bike. With the limited run capped at 100, loaded track enthusiasts are expected to pay a nudge under $120,000 (around 108,000 euros) for the chance to ride this monster. As Motorcycle News reports, the first customers have already taken delivery of their 183bhp, 180kg track-only turbo twins.
