Aston Martin unveils a $120,000 motorcycle. Only 100 will be made.

Aston Martin

just unveiled its first motorcycle: the AMB 001.

The carbon-fiber motorbike was made in partnership with English motorcycle-maker Brough Superior.

AMB 001

has 180 horsepower and a MSRP of about $119,559, not including a 20% VAT.

Only 100 examples will be made.

Aston Martin’s cars

currently use turbocharged engines, and so does the AMB-001.

The bike’s turbo V-Twin produces 180 horsepower.

The engine’s exhaust manifold is made from Inconel, the same heat-resistant superalloy used for the skin of the North American X-15 rocket plane.

The engine is a load-bearing part of the chassis, which adds stiffness and saves weight.

A six-speed gearbox transfers power to the rear wheel.
