Default £100,000 !!

So ... who's put their order in for the new Aston Martin super bike then?
I'm just doing the maths on just how many of my children I'd have to sell and whether they'd accept just the one kidney!
£100,000 ... that's an awful lot of tokens eh!
Worth it or not? Personally I really like it, I've been reading the specs on it and it seems to have some very neat touches, I suppose if money were no object I'd defo have one, I see it as the 'Bugatti veyron' of the biking world, maybe not for the outright speed but more for the overall design.

you need to buy 2; one for storing/making money on & the other for riding.

A.M probably have luggage and mounts sorted already ... for the bargain price of just £5,500 or thereabouts! 🤣

I guess the mirrors can be discounted as an essential as it's a 'track bike' only. But a screen would have been nice eh.

Granted, it's not what I would call 'pretty' (not like a 916) but imo they've nailed what they set out to achieve... a pinical of design, form will always trump function with this kind of mould breaking malarky, it's a bit of a shame that they sourced in the power plant and didn't develop their own engine.

Brough Superior are having something to do with this I see from the side of the engine.... In that colour way it does sure look damn ugly!
