Aston Martin has embraced crossovers and hypercars, and now the company has revealed plans for a range of limited edition motorcycles.
Details are limited, but Aston Martin is partnering with Brough Superior to build a motorcycle that offers the “perfect balance between performance and design.”
Little is known about the project, but the companies said the first motorcycle is a result of the “combined vision of Aston Martin Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman and Brough Superior CEO Thierry Henriette, who are both motorcycle enthusiasts.”

The teaser sketch isn’t very revealing, but it suggests the bike will be a stylish, high-performance model with a slender tank and a single seat. The companies also hinted it could use innovative engineering solutions as well as the “finest materials.”
The model will be unveiled at the EICMA show on November 5th and it will be badged as an Aston Martin as the company said their iconic wings will “appear on a motorcycle for the first time.”
There’s no word on why Aston Martin decided to enter the motorcycle market, but Reichman said “The opportunity to collaborate with Brough Superior has given us the chance to bring our own unique views on how beauty and engineering can combine to create a highly emotive piece of vehicle design.”
His sentiments were echoed by Henriette who stated “Aston Martin and Brough Superior are two luxury automotive manufacturers sharing the same passion for exclusive design and performance, the idea of developing a motorcycle in a frame of a close partnership came naturally.”
There’s no word on pricing, but the motorcycle could become Aston Martin’s most affordable model. It should also be a lot more interesting than the Cygnet which was little more than a rebadged Toyota iQ.
