    Aston Martin AMB001 Motorcycle First Ride

    Maybe i'm out of the loop but didn't know about this. Pretty cool and in the road test phase.

    Appears to be a Britten-like front suspension approach. $100k and to be produced starting later this year.

    Video with motorcycle sound would have been nice. I'd be interested to hear how a v-twin turbo actually sounds.

    I have grown weary of new bikes being produced by "names" in order to sell overly expensive machines to collectors. 180hp at 600lb isn't great power to weight considering its a turbo charged twin. The use of Brough Superior as a developer is just laughable. I'm sure Jay Leno will love his.

    Yea, I'm guessing since the article is written by an automobile magazine, they think 600 is shockingly light, or 180hp is high for a sport bike, these days.

    Needing a turbo to get 180hp out of a liter twin in 2020 is not an accomplishment.
