In 2019, Aston Martin and Brough Superior partnered to launch the AMG 001 at the Milan Motorcycle Show, a limited-production racing bike. The two returned to this year’s event with a new bike to reveal, launching the AMB 001 Pro, a more powerful successor to the original. It also has a few other design tweaks that improve its performance.
This new motorcycle is a track-only superbike. Aston Martin and Brough Superior increased output by 25 percent, giving it 225 horsepower (165 kilowatts). The increase in power gives the motor a power-to-weight ratio of 1.28 horsepower per kilogram, similar to a Formula 1 car. The AMB 001 Pro features a new 997 cc engine constructed from solid billet aluminum, which increases the engine’s structural rigidity. New wet cylinder liner improves engine cooling capability.

Bikes are built from predecessor, with the AMB 001 Pro featuring a front cover now attached to the body. This helps to deflect air over the rider, with the airflow entering the large intake at the front, flowing through the cowl, and the windshield deflecting it. The Pro also features a front spoiler, side wings and rear aero stabilizers to help keep it grounded on the asphalt.
Aston Martin will offer the bike in just one specification with a racing livery combining the Verdant Jade color with satin carbon fiber, black engine and black suspension components. It will also be adorned with the automaker’s lacewing badge which is 99.7 percent lighter than its enamel. It’s 30 percent thinner than a human hair, and Aston will mount it on the nose cover and motorcycle tank. Aston designed a lightweight badge for the Valkyrie, which inspired the new bike.
Aston doesn’t provide pricing information for the motorcycle, but it’s not like it matters. The company has already received early orders for the AMB 001 Pro, so you might have missed the chance to buy it. The company plans to produce just 88 units, 12 fewer than its first bike. Brough Superior will build it at its factory in Toulouse, France, with first deliveries starting in Q4 2023.
