1913 - The origin / 2019 - First motorcycle
aston Martin, the famous manufacturer of luxury sports cars, needs no introduction. Founded by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford in 1913, it takes half its name from the patronymic of its founder, the other half from Aston Clinton's race victory. The brand is also closely associated with cinema's most famous spy, James Bond.
why is this carmaker in this section? Aston Martin teamed up with Brough Superior to create its first motorcycle. It was theAMB 001. Bolstered by noble materials, very expensive, very powerful, powered by a turbo-supercharged V-twin, this sports bike was unveiled at the 2019 EICMA show for marketing in a limited series. 100 examples will be produced, for track use only, or to adorn rich private collections.
