Overview

Introducing the 2021 Brough Superior AMB 001, a motorcycle that is not just a mode of transportation but a testament to exquisite craftsmanship and cutting-edge engineering. As a limited edition model, with only 100 units produced, the AMB 001 stands at the pinnacle of the luxury sport motorcycle market. Designed in collaboration with the renowned automotive icon Aston Martin, this bike marries performance with aesthetic beauty, making it a coveted piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike. It boldly encapsulates the spirit of Brough Superior’s storied legacy while pushing the boundaries of contemporary motorcycle design. At the heart of the AMB 001 is a robust 997cc V2, four-stroke engine that produces an exhilarating 180 horsepower (131.4 kW). This powerhouse is turbocharged, ensuring that the bike delivers not only raw power but also remarkable torque across the rev range. The precision-engineered 6-speed gearbox allows for smooth transitions through gears, while the APTC clutch provides a refined connection between rider and machine. With a power-to-weight ratio of 1 HP/kg, the AMB 001 promises a thrilling ride, capable of delivering an adrenaline rush that few motorcycles can match. The combination of oil and air cooling keeps the engine at optimal temperatures, allowing for sustained high-performance riding. The engineering marvel continues with the bike’s chassis and suspension, which are designed for both agility and stability. The CNC Aluminum frame, complemented by a carbon fiber body, provides a lightweight yet rigid structure, enhancing handling and responsiveness. The Fior-type CNC machined aluminum front fork and adjustable mono-shock rear suspension ensure that riders experience superior comfort and control, whether carving through corners or cruising along open roads. Stopping power is equally impressive, with double stainless steel discs and four-piston radial calipers at the front, paired with a single-disc rear. This engineering excellence not only elevates performance but also instills confidence in the rider. **
