Aston Martin<br />

Begins Deliveries of AMB 001 Superbike<br />

After two and a half years of waiting, Aston Martin has finally begun<br />

deliveries of their track-child, the AMB 001 superbike – and apparently,<br />

ten of the original batch are still available.<br />

Created in collaboration with Brough Superior, the AMB 001 is a limited-run<br />

beastie that first reared its head at Eicma 2019.<br />

It punches out the same numerics in pony-pull as it boasted weight in<br />

kilos.<br />

With 180 (now 183) horses kicking out of a 180kg V-Twin motorcycle,<br />

you can imagine the fun scoot this unit will be…especially considering<br />

that the bike’s delay in production gave Martin Superior a bit of extra<br />

time to run a few final tests before unleashing the carbon-clad machine<br />

on the community.<br />

“We are happy to have met our performance targets, with a power<br />

output of 183 hp and a dry weight of 408 pounds,” enthuses Brough<br />

Superior’s president, Thierry Henriette.<br />

“AMB 001 is an original track bike that stirs the senses and delivers<br />

on performance…the characteristic whistle of the turbo completes the<br />

unique presence of this extraordinary motorcycle.”<br />

With three lucky customers now in possession of their $108,000 AMB<br />

001 and ten of the original 100 unit batch still needing a discerining<br />

collector to lay some cash out, it’s in demand…<br />

If you do buy one, please can we take a little ride…
