Aston Martin has officially unveiled the second generation of its AMB 001 motorcycle called the 'AMB 001 Pro.' Like the original model, the new motorbike was made in collaboration with Brough Superior.
AMB 001 Pro is an elite superbike that was built exclusively for track racing. In comparison to its predecessor, the new bike delivers 25% more power thanks to its robust AL 5000 solid billet CNC-machine dual-cylinder 997cc engine. In addition, the AMB 001 Pro only weighs 175kg, which means its power-to-weight ratio is an impressive 1.28 hp/kg. In terms of design, the new superbike borrows elements from Aston Martin's Valkyrie AMR Pro hypercar.
“We are excited to reveal the AMB 001 Pro at EICMA today. The success of its predecessor, coupled with the incredible Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro, inspired us to get together again to create a new superbike; one that we know will excite our customers," said Thierry Henriette, Chief Executive Officer of Brough Superior.
